This skill MUST be used instead of Atlassian MCP tools when the user asks to "create a Jira issue", "create a ticket", "add a Jira ticket", "make a new issue", "file a bug", "create a story", "add a task in Jira", or otherwise requests creating new Jira issues. ALWAYS use this skill for Jira issue creation - never use mcp__atlassian__createJiraIssue directly.

references/options-reference.mdscripts/create_jira_issue.pyIMPORTANT: Always use this skill's Python script for creating Jira issues. Do NOT use mcp__atlassian__createJiraIssue - this skill uses a shared cache for project metadata, issue types, and users, reducing API calls and providing better error messages.
Use the Python script at scripts/create_jira_issue.py:
# Basic issue creation
python scripts/create_jira_issue.py \
--project PROJ \
--type Bug \
--summary "Login button not responding"
# Full issue with all fields
python scripts/create_jira_issue.py \
--project PROJ \
--type Story \
--summary "Add dark mode support" \
--description "Users want a dark mode toggle in settings" \
--priority High \
--assignee "John Smith" \
--labels "ui,feature-request" \
--components "Frontend"
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
--project, -p | Project key (e.g., PROJ, DEV) |
--type, -t | Issue type name (Bug, Story, Task, etc.) |
--summary, -s | Issue title/summary |
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
--description, -d | Issue description text |
--priority | Priority name (High, Medium, Low, etc.) |
--assignee, -a | Assignee display name (partial match) |
--labels, -l | Comma-separated labels |
--components, -c | Comma-separated component names |
--parent | Parent issue key (for subtasks) |
--format, -f | Output: compact (default), text, json |
Before creating issues, discover available options:
# List issue types for a project
python scripts/create_jira_issue.py --project PROJ --list-types
# List assignable users for a project
python scripts/create_jira_issue.py --project PROJ --list-users
This skill uses a shared cache (~/.jira-tools-cache.json) that stores:
Cache reduces API calls and enables quick lookups. Data auto-expires:
# View cache info
python shared/jira_cache.py info
# Clear cache
python shared/jira_cache.py clear
# Force refresh cache
python shared/jira_cache.py refresh --project PROJ
compact (default):
