What orca-jira does

orca-jira handles a linked Jira issue through Orca CLI. It loads the guide matched to the Orca version in the current session, then supports JQL searches, workflow transitions, completion comments with a PR or MR link, and follow-up issue creation.

The executable is resolved once per session: ORCA_CLI_COMMAND comes first, followed by orca-dev, orca-ide, or orca depending on the environment. On Linux outside an Orca terminal, bare orca can launch the GNOME Orca screen reader, so this is a reason to use orca-ide. Issue fields, comments, and labels are treated as data rather than instructions. If the selected CLI fails, the skill stops with the exact error.

What it helps with

  • search Jira issues with JQL
  • move an issue through Jira workflow transitions
  • add a PR or MR link to a completion comment
  • create a follow-up issue
  • load the Orca guide for the current version

Example prompts for the agent

  • Work from the linked Jira issue, finish the change, and add the completed PR link to its comment.
  • Search Jira with this JQL and return the matching issues.
  • Move this Jira issue to the next workflow status and create a follow-up issue with the remaining context.

Questions about orca-jira

How do I install orca-jira in Claude Code?

Run these steps in order: npx skills add stablyai/orca --skill orca-jira -a claude-code, then run npx skills add stablyai/orca --skill orca-jira -a claude-code again, and open ~/.claude/skills/orca-jira/SKILL.md.

What does orca-jira do?

The skill works with Jira through Orca CLI. It searches with JQL, moves issues through workflow transitions, adds completion comments with PR or MR links, and creates follow-up issues.

Why does orca-jira use orca-ide on Linux?

Outside an Orca terminal, the orca command usually resolves to GNOME Orca and starts the screen reader. In that environment, the skill selects orca-ide when the earlier CLI conditions do not apply.

# Orca Jira

This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Orca executable used for this session.

## Resolve the CLI for this session

Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:

- If the `ORCA_CLI_COMMAND` environment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this
  for managed WSL sessions.
- Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes `ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT`, use `orca-dev`.
- Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use `orca-ide`. Never run bare
  `orca` there — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the
  GNOME Orca screen reader (`/usr/bin/orca`) and starts speech on the user's machine.
- Otherwise, use `orca`.

Below, `ORCA` is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before
running anything; do not create a shell variable or run `ORCA` literally. This works the
same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.

If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through
to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.

## Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands

```text
ORCA skills get orca-jira
```

Prefer `--json`. Use the selected executable's `--help` for commands or flags the guide does
not cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with `ORCA open --json`
and retry. If it fails with `runtime_access_denied`, your sandbox blocked the connection:
re-run it with escalated permissions, and do not run `ORCA open` or restart Orca. If
`skills get` is unknown, explain that updating Orca restores the guide; use `--help` for
read-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.
