# Jira Access Skill

## Overview
This skill provides a thin wrapper around Jira's REST API. It enables the assistant to:
- List issues with JQL filters
- Create new issues
- Transition issues between statuses
- Add comments or attachments

All operations are performed using the credentials supplied via environment variables to avoid storing secrets in source control.

## Setup
1. **Set environment variables** in the runtime where the skill runs.
   *For PowerShell (recommended):*
   ```powershell
   $env:JIRA_DOMAIN = "omeshkshatriya.atlassian.net"
   $env:JIRA_EMAIL = "omeshkshatriya@gmail.com"
   $env:JIRA_API_TOKEN = "ATATT3xFfGF0cks7fxnFIDe..."   # full token (do not truncate)
   ```
   *For Command Prompt (cmd.exe):*
   ```cmd
   set JIRA_DOMAIN=omeshkshatriya.atlassian.net
   set JIRA_EMAIL=omeshkshatriya@gmail.com
   set JIRA_API_TOKEN=ATATT3xFfGF0cks7fxnFIDe...   # full token (do not truncate)
   ```
   > **Security note:** Do not commit these values to the repository. Keep them in a secure profile, a `.env` file, or a CI secret store.

2. Ensure Python 3.9+ is installed on Windows and install the required dependency:
   ```powershell
   pip install requests
   ```

## Usage
The skill is invoked through the `jira` command (a simple batch wrapper) followed by a sub‑command:
- `jira list "project = OMESH"` – List issues matching a JQL query.
- `jira create "Bug" "Summary" "Description"` – Create a new issue of type *Bug*.
- `jira transition <ISSUE-KEY> <STATUS>` – Move an issue to a new status.
- `jira comment <ISSUE-KEY> "Your comment"` – Add a comment.

### Example
Create a small batch wrapper `jira.bat` in the `jira-access` folder to forward arguments to the Python script:
```bat
@echo off
python "%~dp0scripts\jira_cli.py" %*
```
```bash
jira list "assignee = currentUser() AND status = Open"
```
Will output a table of open issues assigned to the current user.

## Implementation Details
The core logic lives in `scripts/jira_cli.py`. It reads the environment variables, builds HTTP requests, and prints JSON‑formatted results. The script is deliberately minimal to keep the skill lightweight.

### Extending the Skill
- Add more sub‑commands in `jira_cli.py` for bulk operations.
- Create reference files under `references/` for advanced JQL patterns.
- Store reusable payload templates in `assets/` if needed.

## When Not to Use
If the user asks for actions outside Jira (e.g., Confluence, Bitbucket) this skill should not be triggered.
