# YouTrack agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made YouTrack playbooks for AI agents: follow up on a YouTrack issue and prepare a handoff, capture project knowledge in YouTrack with AI, sprint status report for a YouTrack project. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [YouTrack essentials for safe, accurate use](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/youtrack/skills/essentials.md): Guides the assistant to confirm which YouTrack site and account it is acting as, pick the right lookup tool, keep results manageable, and ask for your explicit approval before any change is written.
- [Follow up on a YouTrack issue and prepare a handoff](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/youtrack/skills/issue-follow-up-and-handoff.md): Reads one YouTrack issue end to end, says where it stands and what is blocking it, and drafts the next comment or reassignment. It asks before logging time or changing anything.
- [Capture project knowledge in YouTrack with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/youtrack/skills/project-knowledge-capture.md): Searches your YouTrack knowledge articles and recent issues to find what is stale, duplicated or missing, then drafts new or updated articles. Nothing is written until you approve each draft.
- [Sprint status report for a YouTrack project](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/youtrack/skills/sprint-status-report.md): Reads a project's open issues and writes a short status report: counts by state, blocked and stalled work, and unowned items. It only reads, so nothing in YouTrack changes unless you approve a follow-up.
- [Triage new YouTrack issues with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/youtrack/skills/triage-new-issues.md): Works through recently created or unassigned YouTrack issues, sorting them by urgency and missing information and proposing owners, tags and duplicate links. It asks before changing anything.

### What is a YouTrack agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each YouTrack skill describes one job, which YouTrack tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the YouTrack skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in YouTrack.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect YouTrack; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the YouTrack MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the YouTrack MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The YouTrack MCP setup guide covers every client.
