Move Jira To Code Review
Purpose
Move a Jira issue into Code Review after development work is committed and the pull request is ready for review.
Use When
- The user has finished implementation and wants to hand work over for review.
- The task requires transitioning a Jira issue from active development to
Code Review.
- A pull request already exists or is being treated as ready for review in the current workflow.
Do Not Use When
- The task is to start work and move Jira issues to
In Progress.
- The task is to create or update a pull request.
- The task is to respond to PR review comments.
- The task is to move the issue to
QA after merge.
Inputs
- Jira issue key.
- Confirmation that the relevant branch work is already committed.
- Confirmation that the pull request already exists or is otherwise ready for review.
- Installed shared package root when shared package guidance is needed:
${MPT_EXTENSION_SKILLS_HOME:-$HOME/.mpt-extension-skills}/current
Assumptions
- Jira authentication is available and the target issue can be read and transitioned through
mpt-ext-tool-jira-workitem-ops.
- The repository workflow exposes a usable transition into
Code Review.
- The corresponding commit or pull request already exists, or the user explicitly wants to move the issue despite incomplete review context.
Workflow
- Build repository context first.
- Read the target repository
AGENTS.md once per session. If you already loaded it earlier in this session and still have its full contents, reuse them instead of re-reading; if the context was summarized or you are unsure it is complete, read it again. Do not pre-load shared docs in this step; read them lazily only when the repository points to them.
- Read repository-specific docs when they exist, because they may extend or override shared guidance.
- Read shared docs only when the repository explicitly points to them. Resolve those shared docs from
${MPT_EXTENSION_SKILLS_HOME:-$HOME/.mpt-extension-skills}/current when available; otherwise read them from the main branch of the shared GitHub repository.
- Read the Jira issue first.
- Use
mpt-ext-tool-jira-workitem-ops to fetch the current issue state.
- Confirm the issue exists and identify its current workflow status.
- Verify readiness for review.
- Confirm the development work is already committed.
- Confirm a pull request already exists or the user explicitly wants the issue moved to review now.
- If the workflow state is clearly not ready for review, stop and tell the user what is still missing instead of transitioning Jira prematurely.
- Transition the issue to
Code Review.
- Use
mpt-ext-tool-jira-workitem-ops to move the Jira issue to Code Review when it is not already there.
- Preserve already-correct state rather than rewriting it unnecessarily.
- Report the result clearly.
- State whether the issue moved to
Code Review.
- State whether the issue was already in
Code Review.
- Show blockers clearly when Jira workflow rules, permissions, or missing PR readiness prevent completion.
Guardrails
- Never move the issue to
Code Review when the user has not finished the branch work.
- Never assume PR readiness when the current workflow context contradicts it.
- Never rewrite already-correct Jira state without need.
- Never mix PR creation, commit creation, review comment handling, or merge actions into this task.
Expected Outcome
The Jira issue is in Code Review when the work is ready for review, or the task stops with a clear blocker that explains why the issue should not be transitioned yet.
