Alliance Jira Manager FAQs

Question 1

How do I securely configure my Jira credentials?

Accepted Answer

You must create a .env file in ~/.alliance/jira/ containing your JIRA_EMAIL and JIRA_API_KEY. The skill includes a setup.md guide to help you do this securely without exposing tokens in your chat history.

Question 2

Can I modify tickets that aren't assigned to me?

Accepted Answer

To ensure safety, the skill is configured to only modify tickets assigned to the authenticated user. An exception is made for AGRHELP tickets, which allow for broader closing and commenting permissions.

Question 3

Why does the skill warn against piping curl output to Python?

Piping curl output to external processes like python3 or jq within this environment can cause intermittent empty-stdin failures. The skill is designed to read raw JSON output directly to ensure reliability.
