# Manage Jira Workflows with Approval Gates

Jira updates often drift from development work and require manual follow-up. This skill helps Claude, Codex, or Claude Code propose stories, request approval, create issues, and sync workflow status.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add 01000001-01001110/jira-workflow

## Capabilities

- Builds SAFe-style Jira story proposals with acceptance criteria and definition of done.
- Prompts for user approval before creating Jira issues.
- Shows Jira REST API calls for creating issues, subtasks, comments, and transitions.
- Guides transition lookup for team-managed Jira workflow states.
- Connects TodoWrite task progress with Jira issue status updates.
- Documents required Jira environment variables, rate limits, and error handling.

## Use Cases

- Prepare approved Jira stories: Turn feature requests into structured Jira story proposals before creating issues.
- Keep development status current: Move Jira issues through Progressing and Done as coding work starts and finishes.
- Coordinate sprint execution: Create subtasks, add implementation notes, and maintain workflow status during sprint work.

## Prompt Templates

### Draft a Jira story

```
Create a Jira story proposal for this feature. Include persona, goal, benefit, acceptance criteria, complexity, and subtasks. Ask for approval before creating it.
```

### Create an approved issue

```
Use the approved story details to create a Jira issue in my configured project. Link it to this epic if applicable, then report the new issue key.
```

### Sync work progress

```
Start work on this Jira issue, update my task list, and add a concise progress comment. Query available transitions before changing Jira status.
```

### Complete a workflow cycle

```
Run the full Jira workflow for this approved task. Create the issue, transition it when work starts, add implementation notes, and complete it after verification.
```

## Limitations

- Requires user-provided Jira Cloud credentials and project configuration.
- Examples assume Jira REST API v3 and a team-managed project workflow.
- Workflow transitions must be queried because each Jira project can differ.
- Only SKILL.md was present in the scanned package; referenced script files were not included.

## Best Practices

- Confirm each Jira create, comment, and transition action before executing it.
- Use a least-privilege Jira API token for the target project only.
- Query available transitions before changing status in any Jira project.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not create Jira issues from vague requests without user approval.
- Do not assume workflow state names match across Jira projects.
- Do not paste Jira API tokens into prompts, comments, or issue descriptions.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T12:29:07.016\+00:00
- Summary: Most external command and certificate findings are false positives from Markdown backticks, JavaScript template literals, and Jira issue key properties. Confirmed risks are authenticated Jira API calls and Jira credential handling through environment variables. No prompt injection or malicious exfiltration intent was found in SKILL.md.
