SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up and maintaining Jira projects requires deep knowledge of workflows, JQL syntax, automation rules, and permission schemes, which slows down teams that lack a dedicated Jira administrator. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project & Workflow Configuration: Create Scrum or Kanban projects, design custom workflows with validators and post-functions, and configure issue types, screens, and permission schemes. - JQL Query Building: Write advanced JQL for sprint tracking, stale issue detection, velocity reporting, and cross-project epic tracking using functions like openSprints() and membersOf(). - Automation & Reporting: Design automation rules for auto-assignment, SLA escalation, and sprint transitions, plus build dashboards with burndown, velocity, and filter gadgets. - Use Case: A Scrum Master needs a board filter showing only the team's open sprint work ordered by priority. The Skill produces the JQL sprint IN openSprints() AND assignee IN membersOf("engineering-team") AND status != Done and configures the board. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a Jira project with a custom workflow and write a JQL query that finds all overdue high-priority bugs assigned to your team.

Frequently Asked Questions about jira-expert

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a JQL query to find overdue issues in Jira?▼

Use the query `duedate < now() AND status != Done ORDER BY duedate ASC` to find overdue open issues. You can add project or assignee filters to narrow results, and save it as a filter for dashboard gadgets.

How do I set up Jira automation rules for auto-assignment?▼

Create a rule with an 'Issue created' trigger, add a condition such as 'Component is not EMPTY', then set the action to assign the issue to the component lead. Test the rule on a sample issue before enabling it project-wide.

How do I create a custom workflow in Jira?▼

Map your process states such as To Do, In Progress, and Done, then define transitions with conditions, validators, and post-functions. Associate the workflow with a workflow scheme, link it to your project, and test it with sample issues.

Can Jira automation sync subtask status with the parent issue?▼

Yes. Create a rule triggered on issue transition, check that the issue type is Sub-task and all sibling subtasks are Done, then transition the parent issue to Done. The references include ready-made patterns for this.

When should I escalate Jira changes to an Atlassian admin?▼

Escalate when you need new permission schemes, organization-wide workflow schemes, user provisioning or deprovisioning, license changes, or system-wide configuration updates. Project-level boards, filters, and fields can be handled directly.
