The body is mostly lean code without explanatory fluff, but it duplicates the same operations in both TypeScript and curl (e.g. the simple transition, transition-with-resolution, and transition-with-comment examples), so it could be tightened; it is above level 1 because it does not explain concepts Claude already knows and every section is actionable.

The skill provides fully executable TypeScript functions and copy-paste-ready curl commands with concrete IDs, field shapes, and response examples; it is above level 2 because the code is complete and runnable rather than pseudocode or abstract direction.

Steps 1-6 are clearly sequenced and include an explicit "Always query available transitions first" checkpoint plus null-transition handling, but the bulk-transition batch operation only records failures without a validate/fix/retry feedback loop, so per the batch-operation guideline workflow clarity is capped at 2; it is above level 1 because the sequence and some checkpoints are present.

No bundle files exist and the single SKILL.md is ~340 lines with clear sections, but content that could be split out (curl examples, full type definitions, the common-transitions/resolution tables) is inline with only one external URL reference; it is above level 1 because organization is clear rather than a monolithic wall, but below level 3 because no one-level-deep reference files are used to offload detail.

The phrase "Move Jira issues through workflow states" names the domain and a primary action but does not enumerate multiple distinct concrete actions (e.g. querying transitions, executing transitions, bulk-moving, setting resolution) the way a level-3 anchor does; it is not level 1 because it is concrete rather than vague.

It explicitly states both what it does ("Move Jira issues through workflow states") and when to use it ("Use when transitioning issues ... or setting resolutions"), matching the level-3 anchor with an explicit "Use when" clause; it is above level 2 because the when is explicit, not implied.

"Use when transitioning issues (To Do, In Progress, Done) or setting resolutions" gives good coverage of natural terms a user would say, including the concrete status names and the resolution concept; it is above level 2 because it includes common variations rather than a single keyword.

The Jira-transitions niche is specific with distinct triggers (To Do/In Progress/Done, resolutions) unlikely to conflict with other skills; it is above level 2 because the scope is narrowly scoped to Jira workflow transitions rather than overlapping generic issue-handling skills.
