Jira PAT Skill for Claude Code

A Claude Code plugin for managing Jira issues on self-hosted/enterprise instances using Personal Access Tokens (PAT).

Why This Skill?

This skill is designed for environments where:

• Jira uses SSO/SAML authentication
• Basic Auth (email + API token) doesn't work
• The jira-cli tool fails to authenticate

For Atlassian Cloud users: Use clawdbot-jira-skill which uses Basic Auth instead.
