⚠ 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.
