Start Work on JIRA Ticket
Begin work on JIRA ticket $ARGUMENTS.
Step 0: Session Bootstrap
bash .claude/scripts/session-setup.sh
Handles acli install+auth, recommended hooks, pre-commit, and gh auth check. Runs once per session (skips on subsequent calls).
Step 1: View and Assign
bash .claude/scripts/jira-ops.sh view $ARGUMENTS
Review the ticket summary, status, and description. Then assign and transition:
bash .claude/scripts/jira-ops.sh assign $ARGUMENTS
bash .claude/scripts/jira-ops.sh transition $ARGUMENTS "ASSIGNED"
Step 2: Check Backport Requirement
bash .claude/scripts/jira-ops.sh check-version $ARGUMENTS
If Target Version is set, backporting is required after merge.
Step 3: Create Branch
DEFAULT_BRANCH="${PRIMARY_BRANCH:-$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|origin/||')}"
DEFAULT_BRANCH="${DEFAULT_BRANCH:-master}"
git checkout "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" && git pull origin "$DEFAULT_BRANCH"
git checkout -b $ARGUMENTS-short-description
Branch naming: <TICKET-KEY>-<kebab-case-description>. Derive the description from the ticket summary. Ask the user if it's ambiguous.
Step 4: Load Context
Based on the ticket's area, read the relevant docs. The doc mapping is project-specific — check the project's AGENTS.md for the area-to-doc table.
Common patterns:
| Area | Doc |
|---|
| API endpoints, auth | agent_docs/api.md |
| Database, migrations | agent_docs/database.md |
| Testing | agent_docs/testing.md |
| Architecture | agent_docs/architecture.md |
| Frontend | web/AGENTS.md or equivalent |
Step 5: Report
Summarize:
- Ticket: key, summary, status, assignee
- Backport: required or not
- Branch: name created
- Docs loaded
- Next step:
/code
