Can I transition a ticket to 'Done' using natural language?

Yes, the skill recognizes phrases like 'mark as done', 'complete', or 'move to finished' and maps them to the appropriate Jira transition.

Can I update multiple fields on a ticket at once?

Yes, the skill supports updating multiple fields such as summary, assignee, and labels in a single operation via the editJiraIssue tool.

Does this skill support custom Jira statuses?

Yes, the skill can fetch available transitions for a specific issue, allowing you to move tickets to any status defined in your project's workflow.

How does this skill connect to Jira?

The skill connects to Jira using either the Atlassian MCP Server for direct API integration or the Atlassian CLI (acli) as a fallback command-line interface.

Do I need to have the Jira CLI installed?

While the skill prefers the Atlassian MCP Server for a smoother experience, having the Atlassian CLI installed provides a reliable fallback for complex configurations.
