This repository contains the Atlassian Skill, optimized for AI coding agents to automate Jira, Confluence, and Atlassian Administration.
The skill follows a Backend-First approach, prioritizing the Atlassian CLI (acli) for robustness and falling back to the Atlassian MCP server when necessary.
Agents are instructed to detect the available backend (acli vs MCP) and use the most appropriate tool for the task.
- Atlassian CLI (
acli): High-performance, scriptable, and feature-rich. - Atlassian MCP Server: Reliable direct-API fallback for quick lookups and interactive sessions.
- SKILL.md: Core instruction set and quick references for agents.
- references/commands.md: Deep-dive reference for
aclicommands. - references/mcp.md: Detailed patterns for MCP server tools.
- Verify Backend: Check if
acliis installed (acli --version). - Follow Guidelines: agents must adhere to the
WorkflowandNEVERsections inSKILL.mdto ensure safe operation. - Deep Dive: Refer to the
references/directory for complex queries or advanced administration.
