Independently verified the skill's exact command syntax (acli jira workitem search --jql ... --fields ... --csv, and workitem transition --jql ... --status ... --yes) against Atlassian's own official acli docs -- it matches precisely, while a from-scratch naive baseline invented --action/--outputFormat/--columns flags that don't exist in the real tool.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Atlassian CLI does

Reference skill for the official Atlassian CLI (acli): always check acli auth status first, use the modern acli <product> <entity> <action> command structure instead of the old --action flag, and prefer batch flags (--jql, --filter, --key, create-bulk) over one-by-one bash loops. Triggers on requests to search Jira issues with JQL, generate sprint reports, run bulk Jira/Confluence operations, or create/update work items from the command line.

How to install Atlassian CLI

git clone https://github.com/leweii/atlassian-cli
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp atlassian-cli/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/atlassian-cli/SKILL.md

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
