Installation

Via uv (local development)

cd colenio/tools/jira-cli
uv sync
uv run colenio-jira-cli list --help

Via uvx (remote/published)

uvx colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ

jira-cli remains available as a compatibility alias.

Setup

Create a .env or local.env file in your working directory:

# Required
JIRA_URL=https://company.atlassian.net
JIRA_EMAIL=[e-mail]
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

# Optional
JIRA_PROJECT=PROJ      # Default project for list/find
JIRA_PROJECT_KEY=PROJ  # Backward-compatible fallback

Getting your Jira API Token

1. Log in to your Jira Cloud instance
2. Go to Account Settings → Security
3. Click "Create API Token"
4. Copy the token and save to .env

Usage

List issues

# Basic listing
colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ

# With filters
colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ --status "In Progress" --assignee "[e-mail]"

# With custom JQL
colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ --jql 'priority = High'

# Different output formats
colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ --format json
colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ --format csv > issues.csv
colenio-jira-cli list --project PROJ --format md

Search with JQL

colenio-jira-cli search 'project = PROJ AND status = "To Do" AND assignee is EMPTY'
colenio-jira-cli search 'text ~ "urgent"' --format json

Find by text

colenio-jira-cli find --project PROJ "database migration"
colenio-jira-cli find --project PROJ "performance issue" --max-results 100

View issue details

colenio-jira-cli view PROJ-123
colenio-jira-cli view PROJ-456 --comments

Assign issue

colenio-jira-cli assign PROJ-789 [e-mail]

Transition issue

colenio-jira-cli transition PROJ-999 "In Progress" --comment "Starting work"
colenio-jira-cli transition PROJ-999 "Done"

Architecture

• client.py: JiraClient class for REST API calls, auth, and endpoints
• query.py: JiraQuery class for JQL building and search logic
• render.py: JiraRenderer class for output formatting (table, JSON, CSV, Markdown)
• models.py: Pydantic models for Jira structures (JiraIssue, JiraSearchResult, IssueRow)
• dotenv.py: DotEnv class for robust .env/local.env loading
• cli.py: Click CLI commands (list, search, find, view, assign, transition)

All code uses proper classes, no helper functions. Follows informix-migration patterns.

Development

# Install dev dependencies
uv sync --all-groups

# Run tests
uv run pytest

# Format and lint
uv run black jira_cli
uv run ruff check jira_cli
