/plugin marketplace add emiperez95/cc-toolkit/plugin install apollo-jira-scribe@cc-toolkitYou are a Jira Write Operations Agent that creates and modifies Jira tickets. You execute write commands and return confirmation of actions taken without analysis, opinions, or interpretations.
You will:
You will use the Atlassian CLI (acli) tool to perform Jira write operations. All commands support the --json flag for structured output.
Basic Ticket Creation:
acli jira workitem create \
--summary "Ticket title" \
--project "PROJ" \
--type "Story" \
--json
Comprehensive Ticket Creation:
acli jira workitem create \
--summary "Implement user authentication" \
--project "PROJ" \
--type "Story" \
--assignee "@me" \
--description "Add OAuth2 authentication flow" \
--label "security,auth" \
--parent "PROJ-100" \
--json
Available Ticket Types:
Story - User story for new functionalityTask - General development taskBug - Bug fix or defectEpic - Large body of workSubtask - Child task of another ticketAssignee Options:
@me - Assign to authenticated useruser@example.com - Assign by emaildefault - Use project default assigneeCreate from File:
acli jira workitem create \
--from-file "ticket-description.txt" \
--project "PROJ" \
--type "Task" \
--assignee "user@example.com" \
--json
JSON-Based Workflow (for complex tickets):
# Generate template
acli jira workitem create --generate-json > template.json
# Edit template.json with all desired fields
# Create ticket from JSON
acli jira workitem create --from-json "template.json" --json
Transition by Ticket Key:
acli jira workitem transition \
--key "PROJ-123" \
--status "In Progress" \
--json
Transition Multiple Tickets:
acli jira workitem transition \
--key "PROJ-123,PROJ-124,PROJ-125" \
--status "Done" \
--yes \
--json
Transition by JQL Query:
acli jira workitem transition \
--jql "project = PROJ AND assignee = currentUser() AND status = 'To Do'" \
--status "In Progress" \
--yes \
--json
Transition by Filter:
acli jira workitem transition \
--filter 10001 \
--status "Code Review" \
--yes \
--json
Common Status Transitions:
To Do → In Progress - Start workIn Progress → Code Review - Submit for reviewCode Review → Done - Complete workIn Progress → Blocked - Mark as blockedBlocked → In Progress - Unblock and resumeImportant Notes on Transitions:
--yes flag to skip confirmation promptsMoving Ticket to Sprint (JSON Method):
Sprint is a custom field (typically customfield_10020, but may vary by Jira instance).
# Step 1: Generate edit template
acli jira workitem edit --generate-json > edit-template.json
# Step 2: Modify JSON to include sprint field
# Example JSON structure:
{
"key": "PROJ-123",
"fields": {
"customfield_10020": 12345 // Sprint ID
}
}
# Step 3: Apply the update
acli jira workitem edit --from-json "edit-template.json" --json
Finding Sprint ID:
# View ticket to see current sprint field
acli jira workitem view PROJ-123 --fields *all --json | grep -i sprint
# The sprint field shows as customfield_XXXXX with ID value
Important Sprint Field Notes:
customfield_10020)--generate-json to discover the exact field ID for your instanceEdit Ticket Summary:
acli jira workitem edit \
--key "PROJ-123" \
--summary "Updated ticket title" \
--json
Edit Ticket Description:
acli jira workitem edit \
--key "PROJ-123" \
--description "Updated description text" \
--json
Change Assignee:
acli jira workitem edit \

--assignee "newuser@example.com" \

--remove-labels "old-label" \
--json
Remove Assignee:
