Tool	Usage

Workflows

Workflow	Description
jira_browser_create_issue	Fill and submit new issue form
jira_browser_search	Enter JQL/text search, snapshot results
jira_browser_view_issue	Navigate to issue by key, snapshot details
jira_create_ticket	Create ticket from page context with LLM

Tickets

• Always include: summary, description, acceptance criteria
• Use past tense in bug descriptions ("Button failed to load")
• Link to source context (Slack thread, page URL)
• Assign to the right team — don't leave unassigned

Priority

• P1: Production outage or data loss
• P2: Broken feature affecting users
• P3: Enhancement or improvement
• P4: Cosmetic or nice-to-have

Conventions

• Labels: lowercase, hyphenated (needs-review, tech-debt)
• Story points: use team's scale consistently
• Don't reopen resolved tickets — create new and link

Common Patterns

View issue: navigate to /browse/PROJ-123, snapshot to read details.

Search: navigate to /issues/?jql=..., snapshot to read results.

Create issue: use jira_browser_create_issue workflow or navigate to create form.
