Jira capabilities in Teamwork Graph CLI
This page lists the capabilities your AI coding agent has with Jira through Teamwork Graph (TWG) CLI. Jira tracks work across projects, sprints, and teams — and with TWG CLI, you can query and manage all of it in plain English from your coding environment. For cross-product capabilities, see What your agent can do.
