Jira Project Tracking

Agile project management for AI agents — JQL search, sprint planning, issue lifecycle, velocity tracking, and cross-system coordination across GitHub and Slack.

What this skill teaches

A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.

An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.

Orchestrate Jira workflows — search issues with JQL, manage sprints, create and transition issues, track velocity, and coordinate agile ceremonies. Use when creating Jira tickets, searching issues, planning sprints, updating issue status, checking sprint progress, or managing project boards.

Architecture

How Jira Project Tracking guides an ADK-Rust agent.

The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.

01

User request

The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.

02

Jira Project Tracking skill

Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.

03

ADK-Rust agent

Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.

04

mcp-jira

Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.

05

Verified result

The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.

Portable instructions: SKILL.md · Capability boundary: mcp-jira · Allowed tools: 15

Decision guide

How the agent turns a request into the right action.

These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

01

"create ticket", "new issue", "bug", "story"?

WORKFLOW 1: Create Issue

02

"search", "find", "JQL", "issues where"?

WORKFLOW 2: Search Issues

03

"sprint", "plan", "velocity", "capacity"?

WORKFLOW 3: Sprint Management

04

"move", "transition", "done", "in progress"?

WORKFLOW 4: Transition Issue

05

"board", "kanban", "status"?

WORKFLOW 5: Board Overview

06

Unclear?

Ask: "Would you like to create a ticket, search issues, or manage a sprint?"

Proven workflows

Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.

A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

012 calls

Create Issue

Duplicate check + structured creation with AC

021 calls

Search Issues

JQL-powered queries for any filter

033-4 calls

Sprint Management

Velocity-aware planning + scope tracking

043 calls

Transition Issue

Valid state check + move + comment

052 calls

Board Overview

Tool boundary

The skill may use 15 documented tools.

This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-jira retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules

What the agent should do.

  • Follow the decision guide, use the declared tool boundary, and verify the result before responding.

Operating boundaries

What the agent should avoid.

  • Review the complete SKILL.md before enabling this skill for production work.

Install and connect

Add the skill beside the capability it expects.

Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-jira, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.

Install the skill
git clone https://github.com/zavora-ai/skill-jira-project-tracking.git \
  ~/.skills/skills/jira-project-tracking
ADK-Rust loading shape
let skills = SkillLoader::from_dir("~/.skills/skills").await?;
let skill = skills.load("jira-project-tracking").await?;

let agent = LlmAgentBuilder::new("agent")
    .instruction(skill.instructions())
    .tools(skill.allowed_tools(toolset)?)
    .build()?;

The repository's compatibility statement: Requires mcp-jira server connected. Optional: mcp-github for PR linking, mcp-slack for sprint notifications.
