What this skill tells the agent

Jira Syntax

Jira wiki markup syntax, templates, and validation. For API operations, use the jira-communication skill.

Quick Syntax Reference

Available Templates

Bug Report

Path: templates/bug-report-template.md

Sections: Environment, Steps to Reproduce, Expected/Actual Behavior, Error Messages, Technical Notes

Feature Request

Path: templates/feature-request-template.md

Sections: Overview, User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, Technical Approach, Success Metrics

Syntax Validation

Run before submitting to Jira:

${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/validate-jira-syntax.sh path/to/content.txt

It gates the post — run it as its own step, never chained with the posting command.

Validation Checklist

  • [ ] Headings: h2. Title (space after period)
  • [ ] Bold: *text* (single asterisk)
  • [ ] Code blocks: {code:language}...{code}
  • [ ] Lists: * for bullets, # for numbers
  • [ ] Links: [label|url] or [PROJ-123]
  • [ ] Tables: ||Header|| and |Cell|
  • [ ] Colors: {color:red}text{color}
  • [ ] Panels: {panel:title=X}...{panel}

Common Mistakes

❌ Wrong✅ Correct
## Headingh2. Heading
**bold***bold*
` code `{{code}}
[text](url)`[text\url]`
- bullet* bullet
h2.Titleh2. Title
MR !42 (bare GitLab ref)`[MR 42\url] or full group/project!42 — a bare !…!` is image markup
(/) on an open/proposed item(x) — (/) renders as a green check (done); use (x) for open items
( ) as a checkbox(x) — ( ) is not a macro and renders literally

Integration with jira-communication Skill

Workflow:

  1. Get template from jira-syntax
  2. Fill content using Jira wiki markup
  3. Validate with ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/validate-jira-syntax.sh
  4. Submit via jira-communication skill

Use it to settle a markup question rather than deriving the answer.

Jira Communication

Use when handling Jira issues, sprints, boards, links, fields, worklogs, attachments, or users, or on any Jira intent without a key (\"create/find a ticket\", \"pick a project\"). Auto-triggers on Jira URLs and issue keys (PROJ-123). Also use when MCP Atlassian tools fail or are unavailable for Jira Server/DC.

netresearch/agent-rules-skill

Agent Rules

Use when creating or updating AGENTS.md files, .github/copilot-instructions.md, or other AI agent rule files, onboarding AI agents to a project, standardizing agent documentation, or when anyone mentions AGENTS.md, agent rules, project onboarding, or codebase documentation for AI agents.

netresearch/context7-skill

Context7

Use when looking up library documentation, API references, framework patterns, or code examples for ANY library (React, Next.js, Vue, Django, Laravel, etc.) and the Context7 MCP server is unavailable or not configured. Fetches the same current docs directly via the Context7 REST API as a fallback. Triggers on: how to use library, API docs, framework pattern, import usage, library example.
