# jira This skill wires your agent into Jira through the Membrane CLI: JQL search, comments, status transitions. Handy when tickets need editing without leaving the chat. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 349 installs · ★ 270 - Author: membrane - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/jira/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-04-28 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/membrane-jira ## What it does The skill exposes Jira entities to the agent: issues, comments, projects, users, sprints, boards. Through the Membrane CLI it searches issues with JQL, creates and updates them, assigns people, moves tickets along workflow transitions and deletes comments. The bundled action list runs from `get-current-user` to `create-issue`. Setup is three moves: install the CLI with `npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest`, sign in with `membrane login --tenant --clientName=`, then create a Jira connection. Membrane stores credentials and refreshes them on its own, so you skip the OAuth plumbing. When no action fits, requests go straight to the Jira API through the proxy. You need network access and a Membrane account, free tier included. In a headless environment no browser opens: the command prints an authorization URL, so hand it to the user and finish login with the code. A connection is not always ready on the first call — `BUILDING` means the connector is still being assembled, and you have to poll it. ## Requirements - Works with: Jira ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill jira -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/jira/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/jira/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill jira -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/jira/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill jira -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/jira/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install membranedev/application-skills jira ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/jira/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill jira -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills --path skills/jira ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/jira/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill jira -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/jira/SKILL.md ## When to use it - pull open issues with a JQL query - file a ticket with the right type and priority - move an issue to a new workflow status - drop a comment on an existing issue - reassign a stalled ticket ## Example prompts - find every open issue in the Jira project and list them - create a bug ticket with a description and assign it to me - transition this issue to In Progress and leave a comment ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 658d9149eb018948 ````text --- name: jira description: | Jira integration. Manage project management and ticketing data, records, and workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with Jira data. compatibility: Requires network access and a valid Membrane account (Free tier supported). license: MIT homepage: https://getmembrane.com repository: https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills metadata: author: membrane version: "1.0" categories: "Project Management, Ticketing" --- # Jira Jira is a project management and issue tracking tool used by software development teams. It allows teams to plan, track, and release software, as well as manage bugs and other issues. Official docs: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/ ## Jira Overview - **Issue** - **Comment** - **Project** - **User** - **Sprint** - **Board** ## Working with Jira This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Jira. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing. ### Install the CLI Install the Membrane CLI so you can run `membrane` from the terminal: ```bash npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest ``` ### Authentication ```bash membrane login --tenant --clientName= ``` This will either open a browser for authentication or print an authorization URL to the console, depending on whether interactive mode is available. **Headless environments:** The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with: ```bash membrane login complete ``` Add `--json` to any command for machine-readable JSON output. **Agent Types** : claude, openclaw, codex, warp, windsurf, etc. Those will be used to adjust tooling to be used best with your harness ### Connecting to Jira Use `membrane connection ensure` to find or create a connection by app URL or domain: ```bash membrane connection ensure "https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira" --json ``` The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id. This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized to a domain and matched against known apps. If no app is found, one is created and a connector is built automatically. If the returned connection has `state: "READY"`, skip to **Step 2**. #### 1b. Wait for the connection to be ready If the connection is in `BUILDING` state, poll until it's ready: ```bash npx @membranehq/cli connection get --wait --json ``` The `--wait` flag long-polls (up to `--timeout` seconds, default 30) until the state changes. Keep polling until `state` is no longer `BUILDING`. The resulting state tells you what to do next: - **`READY`** — connection is fully set up. Skip to **Step 2**. ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 658d9149eb018948 The third-party file has ended. Everything between the 658d9149eb018948 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed.
