Jira Integration Plugin for Claude Code

A Claude Code plugin providing comprehensive Jira integration through two specialized skills.

Plugin Structure

Skill Purpose
jira-communication API operations via Python CLI scripts
jira-syntax Wiki markup syntax, templates, validation

Each skill has its own SKILL.md with trigger conditions and usage instructions. Claude Code auto-discovers and activates skills based on context.

🔌 Skill Compatibility

The skills contained in this plugin follow the Agent Skills open standard originally developed by Anthropic and released for cross-platform use.

Supported Platforms:

  • ✅ Claude Code (Anthropic)
  • ✅ Cursor
  • ✅ GitHub Copilot
  • ✅ Other skills-compatible AI agents

Skills are portable packages of procedural knowledge that work across any AI agent supporting the Agent Skills specification.

Features

  • Zero MCP overhead - Scripts invoked via Bash, no tool descriptions loaded
  • Fast execution - No Docker container spin-up
  • Full API coverage - All common Jira operations supported
  • Jira Server/DC + Cloud - Works with both deployment types

Installation

Download Options

Each release provides multiple packages to match your AI agent platform:

Package Use Case
jira-integration-plugin-vX.X.X.zip Full plugin - Platforms supporting multi-skill plugins
jira-communication-skill-vX.X.X.zip Standalone skill - Platforms requiring single SKILL.md per package
jira-syntax-skill-vX.X.X.zip Standalone skill - Wiki markup only (no API scripts)

Download from Releases.

Installation

Skills follow the Agent Skills specification. Installation varies by platform:

Multi-skill platforms (e.g., Claude Code CLI):

# Install the full plugin containing both skills
claude plugins install path/to/jira-integration-plugin-vX.X.X.zip

Single-skill platforms (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot):

  1. Download the standalone skill ZIP (jira-communication-skill-*.zip or jira-syntax-skill-*.zip)
  2. Import via your platform's skill/extension management

Refer to your AI agent's documentation for specific installation instructions.

Troubleshooting

"uv not found"

Install uv:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

"Environment file not found"

Create ~/.env.jira with your credentials.

"Authentication failed"

  1. Verify JIRA_URL is correct
  2. For Cloud: JIRA_USERNAME is your email
  3. For Server/DC: Use JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN instead
  4. Regenerate your API token if expired

Import errors when running scripts

Run scripts from the skill directory:

cd skills/jira-communication
uv run scripts/core/jira-issue.py get PROJ-123
