TWG CLI ships installable skills — context files that teach your coding agent how to work with Atlassian products. Install them once, then just describe what you want in plain language.
After installing and authenticating, run:
1 2twg skills install
The installer shows an interactive picker. Choose your agent and it handles the rest.
Claude Code stores skills in .claude/skills/. Select it in the installer and the TWG skill is placed there automatically. After that, open Claude Code in your project and start asking:
"What are my open Jira issues?" "Summarize the work my team did this week." "Create a Confluence page summarizing our Q2 goals."
OpenAI Codex reads skills from the universal .agents/skills/ directory, which is always included in the install. No extra step needed — select Codex in the picker and you're done. Then ask Codex:
"Show me the current sprint and any blockers." "Find PRs I authored this month." "What goals are at risk for my team?"
Gemini CLI also reads from .agents/skills/ automatically. Select it in the picker. Then:
"Who do I collaborate with most?" "Get full context on PROJ-123 — linked PRs, docs, and dependencies." "Show my reporting chain."
The installer also supports Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Rovo Dev, Augment, Kiro CLI, OpenCode, and any agent that supports a skills or context directory. The universal .agents/skills/ location works out of the box for most agents.
Skills are placed under .agents/skills/ (and any agent-specific locations you select)
as a set of sibling skill directories — one per surface or recipe. Each skill directory
contains its own SKILL.md and (where relevant) scripts/ and references/.
| Layout | Purpose |
|---|---|
.agents/skills/twg/SKILL.md | Umbrella router and shared planner contract |
.agents/skills/twg-<surface>/SKILL.md | Per-product surface skills (e.g. twg-jira, twg-confluence, twg-bitbucket) |
.agents/skills/twg-<recipe>/SKILL.md | Workflow recipes (e.g. twg-workitem-context, twg-personal-update, twg-graph-visualization) |
.agents/skills/<skill>/scripts/ | Optional helper scripts bundled with a skill. Prefer first-class CLI commands for deterministic generation flows; for example internal graph rendering is handled by twg visualize, while the graph skill documents JSON shape and best practices |
.agents/skills/<skill>/references/ | Reference docs loaded on demand (CQL/JQL/AQL recipes, schemas, etc.) |
Your agent reads these automatically. No special prompt prefix is needed.
