Jira Task Manager Skill#

This skill automates common Jira operations.

Resource Locations#

• Jira Configuration: Refer to references/jira.md for Jira URL, credentials, and Google Drive folder ID.
• Scripts: All automation logic resides in scripts/.

Standard Workflows#

1. List To Do Issues#

scripts/get_my_todo_issues.py — Returns issues assigned to xwang@attrix.ca in project DS with status "To Do".

2. Get Issue Details#

scripts/get_issue_description.py <ISSUE_KEY> — Returns summary and full description.

3. Create Issue#

scripts/create_issue.py — Requires: Project Key, Issue Type, Summary. Optional: description template from Google Drive, Priority, Assignee.

4. Update Issue#

scripts/update_issue.py — Requires: Issue Key, field, new value. Uses transition IDs for status changes.

5. Add Comment#

scripts/add_comment.py — Requires: Issue Key, comment text. Optional: attachment from Google Drive.

6. Get Issue Info#

scripts/get_issue_info.py <ISSUE_KEY> — Returns current status, assignee, and metadata.

7. Prepare Repo#

scripts/sync_repo.py <ISSUE_KEY> — Finds repo via references/repos.json, fetches remote, checks out or creates feature/<ISSUE_KEY> branch. Reports repo_path and branch. Optional: --branch <name> to force branch name.

8. Full Task Execution Flow (End-to-End)#

Trigger: "work on DS-XXX", "fix DS-XXX", "pick up DS-XXX". Follow steps in order without asking unless blocked.

1. get_issue_info.py → summarize task, acceptance criteria, subtasks.
2. Confirm with user — wait for explicit approval before proceeding.
3. sync_repo.py <ISSUE_KEY> → report repo_path and branch. All edits are relative to repo_path.
4. Read relevant source files before making any changes.
5. Implement changes. No per-edit confirmations unless scope is ambiguous.
6. run_tests.py --issue <ISSUE_KEY> → fix failures, re-run until passing.
7. Report: what changed, test results, branch. Stop and wait — do not merge, push, or transition status until user approves.

9. React/Zustand State Persistence Bugs#

Trigger: Field reverts after navigation or re-entering a detail page.

• Sync field updates back to the global store immediately after a successful mutation.
• Keep per-entity overrides (keyed by entity id) and merge after re-fetch rather than caching the whole object.
• Audit useMemo/ useCallback/ useEffect deps for stale closures. Use selector-based Zustand subscriptions for high-traffic components.
• Apply the smallest safe fix — avoid broadening cache scope unnecessarily.

Important Notes#

• All Jira API interactions will be performed using the credentials stored in references/jira.md.
• Repo-to-issue mapping and test commands are configured in references/repos.json.
• For security, ensure JIRA_API_TOKEN is kept confidential.
