Atlassian Readonly Skills
Read-only Python utilities for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket integration, supporting both Cloud and Data Center deployments.
Note: This is a read-only variant that excludes all write operations (create, update, delete). For full functionality including write operations, use atlassian-skills.FieldWorks / SIL JIRA Integration
LT-prefixed tickets (e.g., LT-22382, LT-19288) are JIRA issues from SIL's JIRA instance:
- Base URL:
https://jira.sil.org - Browse URL:
https://jira.sil.org/browse/LT-XXXXX - Project key:
LT(Language Technology)
Trigger patterns: Use this skill when you see:
- LT-prefixed identifiers in user queries, code comments, commit messages, or git log output
- References to
jira.sil.orgURLs - Requests to "look up" or "check" a JIRA ticket
⚠️ Critical: Always Use Python Scripts
NEVER attempt to:
- Browse to
jira.sil.orgURLs directly (requires authentication) - Use
fetch_webpageor similar tools on JIRA URLs - Use GitHub issue tools for LT-* tickets
ALWAYS use these Python modules. The scripts are Python modules (not CLI tools), so use them via inline Python or import:
# Get a single issue (inline Python one-liner)
python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '.github/skills/atlassian-readonly-skills/scripts'); from jira_issues import jira_get_issue; print(jira_get_issue('LT-22382'))"
# Search for issues (JQL query)
python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '.github/skills/atlassian-readonly-skills/scripts'); from jira_search import jira_search; print(jira_search('project = LT AND status = Open'))"
# Get issue workflow transitions
python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '.github/skills/atlassian-readonly-skills/scripts'); from jira_workflow import jira_get_transitions; print(jira_get_transitions('LT-22382'))"Use the script modules in this skill directly.
Configuration
Two configuration modes are supported:
Mode 1: Environment Variables (Traditional)
Set environment variables based on your deployment type. This mode is used when credentials parameter is not provided to skill functions.
SIL JIRA (Data Center / PAT Token)
# SIL JIRA instance for LT-* tickets
JIRA_URL=https://jira.sil.org
# Personal Access Token - generate at: https://jira.sil.org/secure/ViewProfile.jspa → Personal Access Tokens
JIRA_PAT_TOKEN=your_jira_pat_token_hereCloud (API Token)
# Jira Cloud
JIRA_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net
JIRA_USERNAME=your.email@company.com
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token
# Confluence Cloud
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki
CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=your.email@company.com
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_tokenGenerate API tokens at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
Data Center / Server (PAT Token)
# Jira Data Center
JIRA_URL=https://jira.your-company.com
JIRA_PAT_TOKEN=your_pat_token
# Confluence Data Center
CONFLUENCE_URL=https://confluence.your-company.com
CONFLUENCE_PAT_TOKEN=your_pat_token
# Bitbucket Server/Data Center
BITBUCKET_URL=https://bitbucket.your-company.com
BITBUCKET_PAT_TOKEN=your_pat_tokenNote: PAT Token takes precedence if both are provided.
Mode 2: Parameter-Based (Agent Environments)
Alternatively, call the scripts in this skill directly.
Create credentials object
credentials = AtlassianCredentials(# Jira configuration jira_url="https://your-company.atlassian.net", jira_username="your.email@company.com", jira_api_token="your_api_token",
# Confluence configuration (optional)
confluence_url="https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki",
confluence_username="your.email@company.com",
confluence_api_token="your_api_token",
# Bitbucket configuration (optional)
# bitbucket_url="https://bitbucket.your-company.com",
# bitbucket_pat_token="your_pat_token")
Check which services are available
availability = check_available_skills(credentials) print(availability["available_services"]) # ["jira", "confluence"] print(availability["unavailable_services"]) # {"bitbucket": "Missing bitbucket_url"}
Use skills with credentials parameter
result = jira_get_issue(issue_key="PROJ-123", credentials=credentials # Pass credentials here)
#### Partial Service Configuration
You can configure only the services you need. Services without complete credentials will be unavailable:
Only configure Jira
credentials = AtlassianCredentials( jira_url="https://your-company.atlassian.net", jira_username="your.email@company.com", jira_api_token="your_api_token" )
Jira skills will work
jira_get_issue("PROJ-123", credentials=credentials) # ✓ Works
Confluence/Bitbucket skills will fail with ConfigurationError
confluence_get_page("Page Title", "SPACE", credentials=credentials) # ✗ Fails
For credentials object fields and authentication options, see the full documentation in `atlassian-skills`.
## Core Workflow
### Using Environment Variables
from scripts.jira_issues import jira_get_issue from scripts.jira_search import jira_search from scripts.confluence_pages import confluence_get_page import json
1. Get a Jira issue
result = jira_get_issue(issue_key="PROJ-123") issue = json.loads(result) print(f"Issue: {issue['key']} - {issue['summary']}")
2. Search for issues
result = jira_search( jql="project = PROJ AND status = 'In Progress'", fields="summary,status,assignee", limit=50 ) issues = json.loads(result)
3. Get a Confluence page
result = confluence_get_page(title="Feature Documentation", space_key="DEV") page = json.loads(result) print(f"Page: {page['title']}")
### Using Credentials Parameter (Agent Mode)
from scripts._common import AtlassianCredentials from scripts.jira_issues import jira_get_issue from scripts.jira_search import jira_search from scripts.confluence_pages import confluence_get_page import json
Create credentials
credentials = AtlassianCredentials( jira_url="https://company.atlassian.net", jira_username="user@company.com", jira_api_token="token123", confluence_url="https://company.atlassian.net/wiki", confluence_username="user@company.com", confluence_api_token="token123" )
1. Get a Jira issue with credentials
result = jira_get_issue( issue_key="PROJ-123", credentials=credentials ) issue = json.loads(result)
2. Search for issues with credentials
result = jira_search( jql="project = PROJ AND status = 'In Progress'", fields="summary,status,assignee", limit=50, credentials=credentials )
3. Get a Confluence page with credentials
result = confluence_get_page( title="Feature Documentation", space_key="DEV", credentials=credentials )

## Response Data Structures
All functions return JSON strings with **flattened** data structures (not nested API responses).
### Jira Issue Structure
{ "key": "PROJ-123", "id": "10001", "summary": "Issue title", "description": "Issue description", "status": "In Progress", "issue_type": "Task", "priority": "High", "assignee": "user@company.com", "reporter": "reporter@company.com", "created": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000+0000", "updated": "2024-01-16T14:20:00.000+0000", "labels": ["backend", "urgent"], "components": ["API", "Auth"], "custom_fields": {} }
### Confluence Page Structure
{ "id": "12345", "title": "Page Title", "space_key": "DEV", "status": "current", "created": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z", "updated": "2024-01-16T14:20:00.000Z", "author": "user@company.com", "version": 3, "url": "https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/12345" }
> **Note**: These are simplified structures. The original Jira API returns nested data like `{"key": "...", "fields": {"summary": "...", "status": {"name": "..."}}}`, but this skill flattens it for easier use.
## Error Handling
All functions return JSON strings. Check for errors:
import json
result = jira_get_issue(issue_key="PROJ-999") data = json.loads(result)
if not data.get("success", True): print(f"Error: {data['error']}") print(f"Type: {data['error_type']}") else: print(f"Issue: {data['key']}")
### Error Types
- `ConfigurationError` - Missing environment variables
- `AuthenticationError` - Invalid credentials
- `ValidationError` - Invalid input parameters
- `NotFoundError` - Resource not found
- `APIError` - Atlassian API error
- `NetworkError` - Connection issues
## Philosophy
This skill provides:
- **Read-Only Access**: Query and retrieve data without modification
- **Token Efficiency**: Reduced context size by excluding write operations
- **Safety**: Prevents accidental data modifications
- **Flexibility**: Support for both Cloud and Data Center deployments
- **Consistency**: Unified error handling and response format
It does NOT provide:
- Write operations (create, update, delete)
- Direct API access (use the provided functions instead)
- Webhook handling or event processing
- Bulk import/export operations
**Best practices**:
- Always check return values for errors
- Use JQL/CQL for efficient searching
- For write operations, use the full `atlassian-skills` package
## Dependencies
