| name | sprint-autopilot |
| description | Work on a sprint issue with dynamic persona switching. Stages: issue analysis, branch setup via start_work, code research, implementation (in chat), MR creation, optional deployment check. Use when user says "autopilot", "work on sprint issue", or "work on AAP-XXXXX". Use when this capability is needed. |
Sprint Autopilot
Orchestrates work on a single sprint issue. Different stages load different personas. Implementation happens in Cursor chat; autopilot prepares context.
Inputs
| Input | Type | Default | Purpose |
|---|
issue_key | string | required | Jira issue key (e.g., AAP-12345) |
repo_path | string | "." | Path to repository |
needs_deployment_check | bool | false | Deploy to ephemeral after MR |
auto_stash | bool | true | Stash uncommitted changes |
skip_clarity_check | bool | false | Skip issue clarity check |
Workflow
Stage 1: Issue Analysis (developer)
persona_load(persona="developer")
git_status(repo=repo_path) — Check for uncommitted changes, rebase/merge, protected branch
- If unsafe (rebase/merge/protected): abort with reason
- If uncommitted and auto_stash:
git_stash(repo=repo_path, action="push", message="Auto-stash before {issue_key}")
jira_view_issue(issue_key=issue_key) — Fetch issue details
Stage 2: Clarity Check (unless skip_clarity_check)
Parse issue for: acceptance criteria, description length (>200), technical terms (API, endpoint, database, etc.)
- If needs_clarification:
jira_add_comment(issue_key=issue_key, comment="I'm reviewing this issue... Could you provide: [missing items]?")
- If unclear: mark waiting, skip remaining steps
Stage 3: Branch Setup (developer)
skill_run(skill_name="start_work", inputs='{"issue_key": "' + issue_key + '", "auto_stash": false}')
persona_load(persona="developer") — Restore after start_work
- Extract branch_name from result
Stage 4: Code Research (developer)
code_search(query=issue_summary_or_key, limit=10) — Find relevant patterns
knowledge_query(project="", section="patterns") — Project patterns
- Build context: issue details + relevant code + project patterns
Stage 5: Implementation
- Log to
state/sprint_timeline: ready_for_implementation
- Note: Actual coding happens in Cursor chat; autopilot prepares context only
Stage 6: MR Creation (when changes exist)
git_status(repo=repo_path) — Check for changes
- If has_changes:
skill_run(skill_name="create_mr", inputs='{"issue_key": "' + issue_key + '", "draft": true}')
persona_load(persona="developer") — Restore
- Extract mr_url, mr_id from result
Stage 7: Deployment Check (if needs_deployment_check)
persona_load(persona="devops")
skill_run(skill_name="test_mr_ephemeral", inputs='{"mr_id": "' + mr_id + '"}')
persona_load(persona="developer") — Switch back
Stage 8: Finalize (developer)
jira_add_comment(issue_key=issue_key, comment="Merge request ready for review: {mr_url}")
- Log to
state/sprint_timeline: mr_created
