⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 14, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.

Every script the docs point to (jira-issue.py, jira-comment.py, the JQL reference) actually exists and is a real uv-script with pinned deps - not vaporware; auto-trigger on bare issue keys like PROJ-123 is unambiguous and correctly ignores generic 'todo list' asks.

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 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Jira Communication does

Drives Jira Server/DC and Cloud through a set of Python CLI scripts invoked via Bash (uv run), covering issue CRUD, transitions, comments, worklogs, attachments, sprints/boards, links, and users. Auto-triggers on Jira URLs and issue keys like PROJ-123, and is explicitly meant as a fallback when MCP Atlassian tools are unavailable.
