SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Keeping track of assigned Jira tickets, new comments, blockers, and @mentions across projects is time-consuming, and important updates or questions buried in comments are easy to miss. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Assigned Ticket Review: Queries Jira via JQL for open tickets assigned to you, checks for new comments, status changes, and approaching deadlines. - Mention Detection: Finds tickets where you were @mentioned but are not the assignee, categorizing them as Action Required or FYI Only. - Prioritized Report: Groups tickets into Critical/Urgent, High Priority, In Progress, Blocked, and Mentioned categories with action items and direct Jira links. - Use Case: Start your workday by running a Jira review to get a single markdown digest of everything needing attention, including a stalled in-progress ticket and a question from a colleague on a ticket you don't own. ## Quick Start Review my assigned Jira tickets and any recent mentions, then generate a prioritized report with action items.

Frequently Asked Questions about jira-reviewer

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review all my assigned Jira tickets at once?▼

Run a JQL query like "assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done ORDER BY priority DESC" through the Atlassian MCP server. The skill fetches summary, status, priority, comments, and due dates, then groups tickets into a prioritized markdown report.

How can I find Jira tickets where I was mentioned in comments?▼

Use a JQL query like "comment ~ \"[~accountid:{accountId}]\" AND assignee != currentUser()" with your accountId from atlassianUserInfo. The skill categorizes each mention as Action Required or FYI based on questions, keywords, and recency.

Does this skill update Jira tickets automatically?▼

No. The skill is read-only by default and never updates status, adds comments, or changes assignees automatically. It only generates a report with suggested actions, and any Jira modification requires explicit user confirmation.

What MCP server is required for Jira ticket review?▼

The skill requires the Atlassian MCP server, which provides tools like atlassianUserInfo, getAccessibleAtlassianResources, searchJiraIssuesUsingJql, and getJiraIssue. Authentication can be verified with "claude mcp test atlassian".

What happens if the Jira mention query fails?▼

The skill logs a warning and continues with the assigned-tickets report instead of failing entirely. It notes in the report that mention detection encountered an error and can retry with a simpler query without the project filter.
