Jira Syntax

Jira wiki markup syntax, templates, and validation. For API operations, use the jira-communication skill.

Quick Syntax Reference

Jira Syntax Purpose NOT this (Markdown)
h2. Title Heading ## Title
*bold* Bold **bold**
_italic_ Italic *italic*
{{code}} Inline code `code`
{code:java}...{code} Code block java ```
[text|url] Link [text](url)
[PROJ-123] Issue link -
[~username] User mention @username
* item Bullet list - item
# item Numbered list 1. item
||Header|| Table header |Header|

See references/jira-syntax-quick-reference.md for complete syntax documentation.

Available Templates

Bug Report

Path: templates/bug-report-template.md

Sections: Environment, Steps to Reproduce, Expected/Actual Behavior, Error Messages, Technical Notes

Feature Request

Path: templates/feature-request-template.md

Sections: Overview, User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, Technical Approach, Success Metrics

Syntax Validation

Run before submitting to Jira:

${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/validate-jira-syntax.sh path/to/content.txt

It gates the post — run it as its own step, never chained with the posting command.

Validation Checklist

  • Headings: h2. Title (space after period)
  • Bold: *text* (single asterisk)
  • Code blocks: {code:language}...{code}
  • Lists: * for bullets, # for numbers
  • Links: [label|url] or [PROJ-123]
  • Tables: ||Header|| and |Cell|
  • Colors: {color:red}text{color}
  • Panels: {panel:title=X}...{panel}

Common Mistakes

❌ Wrong ✅ Correct
## Heading h2. Heading
**bold** *bold*
`code` {{code}}
[text](url) [text|url]
- bullet * bullet
h2.Title h2. Title
MR !42 (bare GitLab ref) [MR 42|url] or full group/project!42 — a bare !…! is image markup
(/) on an open/proposed item (x)(/) renders as a green check (done); use (x) for open items
( ) as a checkbox (x)( ) is not a macro and renders literally
