Analysis API: Create Cherry-Pick Issue

Creates a KTIJ tracking issue for cherry-picking a KT fix to an IntelliJ release branch.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the YouTrack MCP (mcp__YouTrack__* tools). If the YouTrack MCP is not available, stop immediately and inform the user that this skill cannot run without it.

Required User Inputs

KT issue ID (e.g. KT-84711)
Target version (e.g. 2026.1.1)
Commit hashes (e.g. 0e2ca82e, 449bdb32)

Workflow

Step 1: Gather data

Run these in parallel:

Fetch the KT issue via mcp__YouTrack__get_issue to get:
- summary — used in the KTIJ issue summary
- customFields.Severity — mapped to KTIJ Priority (see mapping below)
Fetch the current user via mcp__YouTrack__get_current_user to get the login for the assignee.

Severity-to-Priority mapping (KT Severity → KTIJ Priority):

KT Severity	KTIJ Priority
Critical	Critical
Major	Major
Normal	Normal
Minor	Minor

If the KT issue has no Severity or an unmapped value, default to Normal.

Step 2: Confirm with user

Before creating the issue, present the resolved fields and ask for confirmation:

Summary: Cherry-pick {KT-ID}: {KT summary} to {target version}
Priority: (mapped from Severity)
Assignee: (from current user)
Commits: (as provided)

Step 3: Create the issue

Use mcp__YouTrack__create_issue with:

project: KTIJ
summary: "Cherry-pick {KT-ID}: {KT summary} to {target version}"
description: (see template below)
permittedGroups: ["jetbrains-team"]
customFields:
  Type: Task
  Priority: (mapped)
  State: Open
  Subsystems: ["IDE"]
  Planned for: ["{target version}"]
  Assignee: (current user login)

Description template:

Cherry-pick the fix for [{KT-ID}](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/{KT-ID}) to IntelliJ {target version}.

**Commits:** `{hash1}`, `{hash2}`, ...

**Original issue:** {KT-ID} — {KT summary}

Step 4: Add tag

Use mcp__YouTrack__manage_issue_tags to add Needs cherry-picking to the created issue.

Step 5: Link issues

Use mcp__YouTrack__link_issues to link the KT issue as a previous step of the new KTIJ issue:

targetIssueId: {KTIJ-ID}
linkType: "previous step"
issueToLinkId: {KT-ID}

Step 6: Verify

Fetch the created issue via mcp__YouTrack__get_issue and confirm all fields are correct. Report the issue ID and URL to the user.
