Can I update a Jira description using a local Markdown file?

Absolutely. The skill includes a --file flag that reads content from a local markdown file and converts it to the required Jira format automatically.

How do I assign a ticket to myself quickly?

You can use the --assignee me flag to instantly reassign any ticket to your own account without typing your full email address.

Is it possible to see current ticket values before updating?

Yes, the recommended workflow is to use the 'aide jira view' command first to verify existing data and ensure you have the correct context before applying changes.

Does this skill support Jira custom fields?

Yes, it supports intelligent resolution of custom fields by name, allowing you to update specific project fields like 'Severity' or 'Sprint' using standard text instead of internal IDs.

Will updating labels remove my existing ones?

By default, the --labels flag replaces all current labels. However, you can use --add-labels or --remove-labels for precise, non-destructive updates to the existing label set.
