Jira Projects Skill

Purpose

Manage Jira projects - list, get details, retrieve issue types, components, and versions.

When to Use

  • Listing available projects
  • Getting project configuration
  • Retrieving issue types for a project
  • Managing project components and versions

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated JiraClient (see jira-auth skill)
  • Project browse permissions

Implementation Pattern

Step 1: List All Projects

typescript
interface JiraProject {
  id: string;
  key: string;
  name: string;
  projectTypeKey: string;
  simplified: boolean;
  style: string;
  avatarUrls: Record<string, string>;
  description?: string;
  lead?: {
    accountId: string;
    displayName: string;
  };
}

interface ProjectsResponse {
  values: JiraProject[];
  startAt: number;
  maxResults: number;
  total: number;
  isLast: boolean;
}

async function listProjects(
  client: JiraClient,
  options: {
    status?: 'LIVE' | 'ARCHIVED' | 'DELETED';
    expand?: string[];
    maxResults?: number;
    startAt?: number;
  } = {}
): Promise<JiraProject[]> {
  const params = new URLSearchParams();
  if (options.status) params.set('status', options.status);
  if (options.expand) params.set('expand', options.expand.join(','));
  if (options.maxResults) params.set('maxResults', String(options.maxResults));
  if (options.startAt) params.set('startAt', String(options.startAt));

  const response = await client.request<ProjectsResponse>(
    `/projects?${params.toString()}`
  );
  return response.values;
}

Step 2: Get Project Details

typescript
async function getProject(
  client: JiraClient,
  projectKeyOrId: string,
  expand?: string[]
): Promise<JiraProject> {
  const params = expand ? `?expand=${expand.join(',')}` : '';
  return client.request<JiraProject>(`/projects/${projectKeyOrId}${params}`);
}

Step 3: Get Project Issue Types

typescript
interface IssueType {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  iconUrl: string;
  subtask: boolean;
  hierarchyLevel: number;
}

async function getProjectIssueTypes(
  client: JiraClient,
  projectKeyOrId: string
): Promise<IssueType[]> {
  const response = await client.request<{ values: IssueType[] }>(
    `/projects/${projectKeyOrId}/issuetypes`
  );
  return response.values;
}

Step 4: Get Project Components

typescript
interface Component {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description?: string;
  lead?: {
    accountId: string;
    displayName: string;
  };
  project: string;
  projectId: number;
}

async function getProjectComponents(
  client: JiraClient,
  projectKeyOrId: string
): Promise<Component[]> {
  const response = await client.request<{ values: Component[] }>(
    `/projects/${projectKeyOrId}/components`
  );
  return response.values;
}

Step 5: Get Project Versions

typescript
interface Version {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description?: string;
  archived: boolean;
  released: boolean;
  releaseDate?: string;
  startDate?: string;
  overdue: boolean;
}

async function getProjectVersions(
  client: JiraClient,
  projectKeyOrId: string,
  options: {
    status?: 'UNRELEASED' | 'RELEASED' | 'ARCHIVED';
    expand?: string[];
  } = {}
): Promise<Version[]> {
  const params = new URLSearchParams();
  if (options.status) params.set('status', options.status);
  if (options.expand) params.set('expand', options.expand.join(','));

  const response = await client.request<{ values: Version[] }>(
    `/projects/${projectKeyOrId}/versions?${params.toString()}`
  );
  return response.values;
}

curl Examples

List Projects

bash
curl -X GET "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/projects?expand=description,issueTypes&status=LIVE" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n 'email:token' | base64)" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Get Project Details

bash
curl -X GET "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/projects/PROJECT?expand=issueTypes,permissions" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n 'email:token' | base64)" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Get Issue Types

bash
curl -X GET "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/projects/PROJECT/issuetypes" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n 'email:token' | base64)" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

API Endpoints Summary

Operation Method Path
List projects GET /projects
Get project GET /projects/{projectIdOrKey}
Get issue types GET /projects/{projectIdOrKey}/issuetypes
Get components GET /projects/{projectIdOrKey}/components
Get versions GET /projects/{projectIdOrKey}/versions

Expand Options

  • description - Project description
  • lead - Project lead user details
  • issueTypes - Available issue types
  • url - Project URL
  • permissions - Current user permissions
  • projectKeys - All project keys

Common Mistakes

  • Using project name instead of key/ID
  • Forgetting pagination for large project lists
  • Not handling archived projects
