On a PR titled `fix(BE-111): update auth flow` merged into develop, the skill correctly says leave the title alone and hold BE-111 in Review (not Done) until the prod deploy -- a naive assistant would duplicate the key or close the ticket early -- but it needs the `gh`/`jira` CLIs and a JIRA_API_TOKEN configured before any of that actually runs.
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 4/5
What Jira Link does
Normalizes Jira issue keys to the start of GitHub PR titles and adds the PR as a remote link on the linked Jira issue, with status transitions tied to PR/deploy events (develop merge stays Review, only a prod deploy closes the loop). Triggers proactively after PR creation/editing or when a Jira key is mentioned alongside a PR, for GitHub orgs mapped to a Jira project. Actually calling the APIs requires the `gh` CLI, a `jira` CLI (go-jira), and a JIRA_API_TOKEN.
How to install Jira Link
git clone https://github.com/BrOrlandi/my-claude-skills.git

(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Jira Link

Make sure the PR title has the Jira key at the very front
