JQL mastery — author advanced queries, build complex filters, optimize query performance, create saved filters for teams
Automation & integration — design automation rules, configure webhooks and notifications, integrate Confluence/Slack/external tools
Reporting & dashboards — custom dashboards with gadgets, sprint/velocity/burndown reports, portfolio-level and executive reporting

When to Use

Setting up a new project and its workflow, fields, and board
Writing or debugging JQL for filters, reports, or dashboards
Designing automation rules and avoiding trigger loops
Building dashboards and configuring gadgets for a team or exec
Managing custom fields, issue links, security levels, or bulk operations

References

Load the reference that matches the task — keep this file lean and pull detail on demand:

references/jira-playbook.md — full detail behind this map: competencies, workflows (project creation, workflow design, dashboards, automation), JQL operators/functions, advanced features (custom fields, linking, security, bulk ops), reporting templates, decision/handoff protocols, best practices, troubleshooting table, and success criteria. Read when executing any Jira task.
references/jql-examples.md — extended library of ready-to-run JQL queries grouped by use case (sprints, and more). Read when you need a specific query pattern fast.
references/automation-examples.md — concrete Jira automation rule recipes (auto-assignment, and more) with triggers/conditions/actions. Read when building or troubleshooting automation rules.
references/red-flags.md — common ways a Jira configuration, JQL query, automation rule, or dashboard goes wrong, with bad/good examples. Read before shipping any change to a team.

Scope & Limitations

In Scope: Jira project creation and configuration, workflow design and implementation, JQL query authoring and optimization, automation rule design, dashboard and reporting setup, custom field management, board configuration, bulk operations, issue linking strategies.

Out of Scope: Org-wide Atlassian administration (hand off to atlassian-admin/), Confluence space management (hand off to confluence-expert/), sprint execution and team coaching (hand off to scrum-master/), strategic project prioritization (hand off to senior-pm/).

Limitations: Jira Cloud automation has monthly execution limits per plan tier. Complex JQL on large instances (>100K issues) may hit performance ceilings. Workflow changes to active projects require careful migration planning -- retroactive changes do not apply to in-flight issues.
