Do I need the GitHub CLI installed?

Yes, the skill uses the 'gh' CLI to fetch live metadata like PR titles and merge states to ensure the output data is current and accurate.

Does this skill require a Jira API token?

Yes, this skill requires a configured MCP Jira server with a valid Personal Access Token (PAT) to access issues and changelogs.

How is the data delivered?

The skill returns a structured JSON object to the console, which can be used by other scripts or saved to a work directory for documentation purposes.

Can it find PRs mentioned in subtasks?

Absolutely. It uses the childIssuesOf() JQL function to recursively find all descendants, including stories, subtasks, and bugs associated with a parent issue.

What sources does it use for PR extraction?

It scans issue descriptions, comments, and the Jira remote link history (changelog) to ensure no GitHub links are missed, even if they aren't officially linked.

Recursively discovers Jira issues and extracts all associated GitHub Pull Request links for comprehensive tracking and documentation.

The Jira Pull Request Extractor is a specialized procedural skill designed to bridge the gap between project management and version control.
