Advise on USING Jira well, not operating it: make the structural call — is this an epic, a story, a task, or a sub-task? — and diagnose why a Jira is a dread, then recommend the lean fix. Adapt to the organisation's OWN hierarchy names, conventions, and working language instead of imposing a methodology. Self-hosted-first: Jira Data Center 10.3/11.x (no Cloud AI; dual Epic Link + Parent Link). Built for an agent that ACTS on Jira through the jira-cli tool or the mcp-atlassian MCP server while…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# jira-best-practices — use Jira leanly, structure work sensibly, adapt to the org Primary reader: an **agent helping a user** — one that *acts on* Jira through tools (the `jira` CLI, or the **`mcp-atlassian`** MCP server) and advises the user on **how to use Jira well**: what an issue *is*, where work *goes*, which fields/statuses/workflows to keep, and how to make Jira stop being a dread. This is the **judgment layer** above those execution tools — it decides *what* should change and *how work should be structured*; the tools do the *how*. This skill is **instance-agnostic and organisation-adaptive**. It never assumes a team's hierarchy names, workflow, or language — it shows how to *discover* the org's actual conventions and reason within them. It is **self-hosted-first**: the defaults below are for **Jira Data Center** (see the Cloud-vs-DC guard). ## How the work gets done (execution layer) An agent here almost always acts through one of two **issue-level, Data-Center-capable** tools — and that boundary determines what to *do* versus what to *advise*: …

How to install
mdr add air-gapped/skills/jira-best-practices@sha256:bd10ab5aa9fe851fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.85eeddf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
