What it does
- Builds SAFe-format user stories ("As a…, I want…, so that…") with GIVEN/WHEN/THEN acceptance criteria and a Definition of Done checklist.
- Enforces an approval gate before anything is created in Jira, using a clear proposal template (create as-is / modify / skip).
- Calls the Jira REST API v3 to create stories and subtasks, build ADF (Atlassian Document Format) bodies, query and execute transitions, and post comments.
- Syncs with Claude Code's TodoWrite: move to
Progressingwhen work starts, post a comment with modified files and commits, then move toDone. - Ships Node.js and Python scripts (workflow demo, single-story create, add subtasks, bulk create from git commits) plus quick-reference tables for endpoints, error codes and rate limits.
Who it's for
- Developers, Scrum Masters and POs on Jira Cloud, especially Team-managed (Next-Gen) projects.
- Teams tired of manually keeping ticket status in sync with actual coding work.
- Organizations that want consistent SAFe/Agile story formatting.
Examples
- Ask for "a signup API" — Claude proposes a SAFe story with acceptance criteria, then creates the story plus subtasks in Jira after you approve.
- On starting work, SCRUM-100 moves
To Do → Progressing; on finishing, a comment lists changed files and commits before it moves toDone. - Run
node scripts/jira-workflow-demo.mjs status SCRUM-100to inspect current status and available transitions.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/01000001-01001110/jira-safe/jira-workflow folder from the GitHub repo aiskillstore/marketplace into my ~/.claude/skills/jira-workflow/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r marketplace/skills/01000001-01001110/jira-safe/jira-workflow ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git - Copy the skill into your Claude skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r marketplace/skills/01000001-01001110/jira-safe/jira-workflow ~/.claude/skills/ - Create an Atlassian API token (Account settings → Security → API tokens).
- Export the required env vars:
JIRA_EMAIL,JIRA_API_TOKEN,JIRA_BASE_URL,JIRA_PROJECT_KEY,JIRA_BOARD_ID(shell profile or.env). - Check whether your project is Team-managed or Company-managed, then edit SKILL.md for your setup: Epic link field (
parentvscustomfield_10014) and real state names (e.g.Progressing→In Progress). - Restart Claude Code and try: "create a Jira story for this task" to verify the flow.
