Show Jira Issue

!accelerator config context --skill show-jira-issue --fail-safe

Fetch and render a single Jira issue by key. Work through the steps below in order.

Step 1: Parse the issue key and flags

The first positional argument is the issue key (e.g. ENG-42, PROJ-1234). Remaining arguments are passed through to the subcommand as-is.

--render-adf defaults to ON — single-issue reads are for humans, so rendered Markdown is the natural output. Pass --no-render-adf verbatim if the user explicitly asked for raw ADF or JSON.

Step 2: Fetch the issue

Run the show subcommand with the key and any flags supplied:

accelerator jira show <ISSUE-KEY> [flags]

Run the bare launcher directly as an executable; never prefix it with bash/sh/env and never pipe its output (a wrapper prefix or a pipe escapes the skill's allowed-tools permission and forces an unnecessary prompt).

The subcommand emits a JSON document with a top-level outcome keyword: found or not-found. On not-found, tell the user the issue was not found and check the key. On a non-zero exit, show the error — a credential or site failure names an E_* cause on stderr; suggest /init-jira.

Step 3: Render the result

Parse the JSON response and present a human-readable summary from .fields:

• Heading: ## KEY — Summary text
• Fields block: Status, Type, Priority, Assignee, Reporter (omit if absent).
• Description: render inline as Markdown (already rendered when --render-adf is on).
• Comments (when --comments N was passed): render each comment as a mini conversation block — author, timestamp, body.

If the fields object is sparse (e.g. --fields summary,status was used), only render the fields that are present; do not invent missing ones.

Examples

Example 1 — look up an issue User: "look up PROJ-1234" Skill invokes:

accelerator jira show PROJ-1234

Then renders the issue with description as Markdown.

Example 2 — show recent comments User: "what's the discussion on ENG-42 — show me the last few comments" Skill invokes:

accelerator jira show ENG-42 --comments 5

Then renders the summary + last 5 comments as an inline conversation.

Example 3 — raw JSON escape hatch User: "give me the raw JSON for ENG-42 — I'm piping it to jq" Skill invokes:

accelerator jira show ENG-42 --no-render-adf

Then prints the response with ADF intact.
