# Atlassian CLI (acli)

## Overview

The Atlassian CLI (`acli`) provides command-line access to Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian products. **Core principle:** Always check authentication first, use correct command structure, and leverage batch operations.

## When to Use

- Creating, searching, or updating Jira issues
- Managing sprints, boards, or projects
- Working with Confluence spaces
- Bulk operations on multiple items
- Generating reports in CSV/JSON format
- Automating Atlassian workflows

**When NOT to use:**
- When web UI is more appropriate (one-off visual tasks)
- When API tokens/integrations are already available

## Authentication - FIRST STEP ALWAYS

```dot
digraph auth_check {
    "User requests acli command" [shape=doublecircle];
    "Check auth status" [shape=box];
    "Authenticated?" [shape=diamond];
    "Run acli command" [shape=box];
    "Explain: acli auth login" [shape=box];

    "User requests acli command" -> "Check auth status";
    "Check auth status" -> "Authenticated?";
    "Authenticated?" -> "Run acli command" [label="yes"];
    "Authenticated?" -> "Explain: acli auth login" [label="no"];
}
```

**Before ANY acli operation:**
```bash
# Check if authenticated
acli auth status

# If not authenticated, login first
acli auth login
```

## Command Structure

**Format:** `acli <product> <entity> <action> [flags]`

**DO NOT use old-style syntax with `--action` flag.**
