Operations CLI · Project
Overview
Jira CLI exposes everyday issue and sprint operations through predictable commands and structured output.

Complete Daily Workflow
Issues, JQL, transitions, comments, worklogs, attachments, links, watchers, and votes live alongside projects, users, fields, boards, sprints, and epics. The goal is to keep a complete working loop in one interface instead of covering only ticket creation.
Cloud and Server
The authentication layer supports Jira Cloud API tokens, scoped tokens, OAuth 2.0 with refresh, Server and Data Center personal access tokens, and basic authentication. Named profiles make those different installations easy to keep separate.
Content Without Surprises
The CLI understands Atlassian Document Format while still accepting practical Markdown input. Results can be rendered as tables for people or JSON and YAML for tools that need a stable contract.
Automation Guardrails
Read-only and no-input modes make unattended use explicit. Duplicate-safe issue creation, clean stdout and stderr separation, and rate-limit backoff are built for scripts and coding agents that need predictable behavior under repetition.
