How does the blocker analysis work?

It recursively traverses issue links to identify both direct and indirect blockers, helping you find the root cause of project delays and detect circular dependencies.

Can I see a visual graph of my JIRA dependencies?

Yes, the skill can export dependency data into formats like Mermaid, DOT, or PlantUML, which can be rendered in GitHub/GitLab markdown or via Graphviz.

Can I link multiple issues at once?

Yes, the bulk-link command allows you to use a JQL query to identify a set of issues and link them to a specific target issue in one operation.

Does this skill support custom JIRA link types?

Yes, you can use the link-types command to see every relationship type available in your JIRA instance and then use the --type flag to create custom links.

Does cloning an issue also copy its subtasks?

Yes, the clone command includes an optional flag to duplicate all subtasks along with the parent issue, preserving the original structure.
