Auto Update Jira Issue Status to Next Stage

Instructions

Provide clear, step-by-step guidance for Claude.

Important: This skill uses Atlassian MCP tools to interact with Jira.

1. Extract Information from URL: Given a Jira Issue URL (e.g., https://yourcompany.atlassian.net/browse/PROJ-123), extract the cloud ID (site URL) and issue key.

2. Get Current Issue Information: Use mcp__atlassian__getJiraIssue to retrieve the current issue information:

   • cloudId: The site URL (e.g., "yourcompany.atlassian.net")
   • issueIdOrKey: The issue key (e.g., "PROJ-123")
   • Extract current status from the response

3. Determine Next Status:

   • Common Jira status mappings:
     • If current status name is "TODO" or "Todo" or "未着手" or "To Do" → next is "進行中" or "In Progress"
     • If current status name is "進行中" or "In Progress" or "In progress" → next is "完了" or "Done"
     • If current status name is "完了" or "Done" → skip update, return message: "Issue is already in Done status. No update needed."
   • If current status is not one of the expected values:
     • Inform the user that the current status is not part of the automatic flow
     • List the available transitions using mcp__atlassian__getTransitionsForJiraIssue
     • Ask the user which transition they want to execute using AskUserQuestion tool

4. Get Available Transitions: Use mcp__atlassian__getTransitionsForJiraIssue to get all available transitions for the issue:

   • cloudId: The site URL
   • issueIdOrKey: The issue key
   • Extract the list of available transitions with their IDs and target status names

5. Find Matching Transition: From the available transitions, find the one that matches the target next status determined in step 3:

   • Match by status name (case-insensitive comparison)
   • If exact match is not found, try partial matching (e.g., "進行中" in "進行中 (In Progress)")
   • If no matching transition is found, inform the user and list all available transitions

6. Execute Transition: Use mcp__atlassian__transitionJiraIssue to update the status:

   • cloudId: The site URL
   • issueIdOrKey: The issue key
   • transition: Object with the transition ID obtained in step 5

7. Handle Errors: Ensure to handle potential errors, such as:

   • Invalid URLs
   • Non-existent issues
   • Missing authentication (MCP server not configured)
   • Permission errors
   • No matching transition found
   • Network issues Provide clear error messages for each scenario.

8. Confirm Success: After successfully updating the status, verify the update using mcp__atlassian__getJiraIssue and confirm with a success message that includes:

   • The issue key
   • The previous status
   • The new status
   • Example: "Successfully updated issue PROJ-123: 'TODO' → '進行中'"

Notes

• Ensure that the Atlassian MCP server is configured and authenticated.
• This skill uses the Atlassian MCP tools which are already auto-approved in settings.
• The status transition flow is flexible based on available transitions in Jira.
• Status names may vary by project configuration (Japanese vs English).
• Issues already in "Done" or "完了" status will not be modified.
• If the current status doesn't fit the automatic flow, the skill will prompt the user for manual selection.
• Jira uses workflow transitions, which may have different names than the target status.
