jira

# Jira

Natural language interaction with Jira. Supports multiple backends.

## Backend Detection

**Run this check first** to determine which backend to use:

```
1. Check if jira CLI is available:
   → Run: which jira
   → If found: USE CLI BACKEND

2. If no CLI, check for Atlassian MCP:
   → Look for mcp__atlassian__* tools
   → If available: USE MCP BACKEND

3. If neither available:
   → GUIDE USER TO SETUP
```

| Backend | When to Use | Reference |
|---------|-------------|-----------|
| **CLI** | `jira` command available | `references/commands.md` |
| **MCP** | Atlassian MCP tools available | `references/mcp.md` |
| **None** | Neither available | Guide to install CLI |
