044-planning-jira

Use when you need the Jira CLI (`jira`) to verify installation, configure Jira Cloud access, list issues (all or by JQL) as markdown tables, and analyze user-provided sanitized Jira summaries. Uses an interactive install gate - if `jira` is missing, ask whether to show installation guidance before any issue commands. This should trigger for requests such as jira issue list; List Jira issues; Jira JQL issue query; Jira CLI issue workflow. Part of cursor-rules-java project

Quality

Content

70%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, clearly sequenced skill body with good progressive disclosure and explicit validation checkpoints. Its weaknesses are repetition of the gate concept and lack of concrete command syntax for the core issue operations.

Suggestions

Add concrete command examples for the core operations (e.g., the actual `jira issue list` / JQL syntax and create/assign/transition commands) instead of describing them abstractly.

State the interactive install-gate rule once in the Workflow and reference it from Constraints rather than restating it verbatim in three places.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the interactive install-gate concept is restated across the intro, 'What is covered', Constraints, and Workflow step 1, which could be tightened; it is not a 1 because there is no padded conceptual filler.

2 / 3

Actionability

It names concrete commands for the gate/config steps (`jira version`, `jira configure`) but leaves the core operations abstract ('Support create, assign, and transition actions using CLI commands'; 'Retrieve issues using basic listing or JQL filters') without concrete command syntax, so key details are missing; it is above 1 because some guidance is concrete.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced 5-step workflow with explicit validation checkpoints (the stop/ask/wait install gate and the pre-private-ops config check) and an error-recovery fallback, matching the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation steps.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a well-organized overview with clearly signaled one-level-deep navigation to the real references/044-planning-jira.md file (verified to exist), with content appropriately split between overview and reference.

Description

90%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description with explicit trigger guidance and a distinct Jira CLI niche. The main weakness is the second-person 'you need' voice, which the rubric penalizes on specificity.

Suggestions

Rewrite the description in third person (e.g., 'Use when the Jira CLI (`jira`) is needed to...') to avoid the second-person specificity penalty.

Consider trimming the trailing 'Part of cursor-rules-java project' tag, which adds no trigger value for the model.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It lists multiple concrete actions ('verify installation, configure Jira Cloud access, list issues (all or by JQL) as markdown tables, and analyze user-provided sanitized Jira summaries') which would warrant a 3, but the second-person phrasing 'Use when you need the Jira CLI' triggers the rubric's -1 specificity penalty, capping it at 2.

2 / 3

Completeness

It clearly answers both 'what' (verify, configure, list, analyze) and 'when' via an explicit 'Use when...' clause plus 'This should trigger for requests such as...', satisfying the explicit-trigger requirement that avoids the cap of 2.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Explicit trigger phrases 'jira issue list; List Jira issues; Jira JQL issue query; Jira CLI issue workflow' give good coverage of natural terms a user would say, including the very natural 'List Jira issues'.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It targets a clear Jira CLI niche with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; the only oddity ('Part of cursor-rules-java project') does not broaden its scope enough to cause conflict.
