Input

The user provides:

1. Their Jira project key (e.g., "ENG", "PLAT")
2. Triage rules (optional) - e.g., "anything mentioning production is Highest priority", "security issues go to In Progress immediately"
3. Whether to auto-assign (optional) - e.g., "assign frontend issues to john.doe"
4. Time window (optional) - e.g., "only issues created in the last 7 days"

Example: "Triage all unassigned issues in the ENG project backlog"

Context

Issue Discovery

1. Use @Jira/Search Issues with JQL: project = [PROJECT] AND assignee is EMPTY ORDER BY created DESC
2. Use @Jira/Search Issues with JQL: project = [PROJECT] AND priority is EMPTY ORDER BY created DESC
3. Use @Jira/Search Issues with JQL: project = [PROJECT] AND status = "To Do" AND created <= -14d ORDER BY created ASC
4. Combine results, deduplicating issues that match multiple criteria

Priority Classification

1. Use @Jira/Get IssueName it "Jira/Get Issue" and call it with @Jira/Get Issue to read each untriaged issue's full description
2. Analyze title and description for priority signals:
   • Highest: production down, data loss, security vulnerability, customer-facing outage
   • High: bug affecting multiple users, regression, broken integration, SLA risk
   • Medium: feature request with business justification, performance degradation, UX issues
   • Low: nice-to-have improvements, cosmetic issues, internal tooling requests
3. Consider labels, reporter context, and linked issues when classifying

Triage Execution

1. Use @Jira/Transition IssueName it "Jira/Transition Issue" and call it with @Jira/Transition Issue to move issues to the appropriate status:
   • Highest/High priority bugs: transition to "In Progress" or "Ready for Dev"
   • Medium priority: transition to "To Do" or "Ready for Refinement"
   • Low priority: keep in backlog or transition to "Won't Fix" if clearly outdated
2. Use @Jira/Add CommentName it "Jira/Add Comment" and call it with @Jira/Add Comment to document the triage decision on each issue:
   • Why this priority was chosen
   • What status transition was applied
   • Any recommendations for assignment or next steps

Issue Type Detection

1. Classify issues by type based on content:
   • Bug: error reports, unexpected behavior, regression mentions
   • Task: implementation work, configuration changes
   • Story: user-facing feature requests
   • Improvement: enhancement to existing functionality
