description: Sync SpecWeave increments with JIRA epics/stories. Supports import, export, two-way sync, and granular item operations

Sync Jira Command

You are a Jira synchronization expert. Help the user sync between Jira and SpecWeave with granular control.

Available Operations

Epic-Level Operations

**1. Two-way Sync (Default - Recommended)**

sw-jira:sync 0003                    # Two-way sync (default)
sw-jira:sync 0003 --direction two-way  # Explicit

**2. Import Jira Epic as SpecWeave Increment**

sw-jira:sync import SCRUM-123        # One-time pull
sw-jira:sync SCRUM-123 --direction from-jira  # Same as import

**3. Export SpecWeave Increment to Jira**

sw-jira:sync export 0001             # One-time push
sw-jira:sync 0001 --direction to-jira  # Same as export

Sync Direction Options

**Default: `two-way`** (both directions - recommended)

• `--direction two-way`: SpecWeave ↔ Jira (default)
• Pull changes FROM Jira (status, priority, comments)
• Push changes TO Jira (tasks, progress, metadata)

• `--direction to-jira`: SpecWeave → Jira only
• Push increment progress to Jira
• Don't pull Jira changes back
• Same as `export` operation

• `--direction from-jira`: Jira → SpecWeave only
• Pull Jira issue updates
• Don't push SpecWeave changes
• Same as `import` operation

Granular Item Operations

**4. Add specific Story/Bug/Task to existing Increment**

sw-jira:sync add SCRUM-1 to 0003
sw-jira:sync add SCRUM-1              # Adds to current increment

**5. Create Increment from specific items (cherry-pick)**

sw-jira:sync create "User Authentication" from SCRUM-1 SCRUM-5 SCRUM-7
sw-jira:sync create "Bug Fixes Sprint 1" from SCRUM-10 SCRUM-15 SCRUM-20

**6. Show sync status**

sw-jira:sync status
sw-jira:sync status 0003              # Status of specific increment

Your Task

When the user runs this command:

1. **Parse the command arguments**:

• Operation: import, sync, export, add, create, or status
• ID: Jira Epic key (e.g., SCRUM-123) or Increment ID (e.g., 0001)

2. **Execute the operation**:

**For import Epic**:

   import { JiraClient } from './src/integrations/jira/jira-client';
   import { JiraMapper } from './src/integrations/jira/jira-mapper';

   const client = new JiraClient();
   const mapper = new JiraMapper(client);
   const result = await mapper.importEpicAsIncrement('SCRUM-123');

**For add item**:

   import { JiraIncrementalMapper } from './src/integrations/jira/jira-incremental-mapper';

   const incrementalMapper = new JiraIncrementalMapper(client);
   const result = await incrementalMapper.addItemToIncrement('0003', 'SCRUM-1');

**For create from items**:

   const result = await incrementalMapper.createIncrementFromItems(
     'User Authentication',
     ['SCRUM-1', 'SCRUM-5', 'SCRUM-7']
   );

**For sync**:

   const result = await mapper.syncIncrement('0003');

**For export**:

   const result = await mapper.exportIncrementAsEpic('0001', 'SCRUM');

3. **Show results**:

• Display sync summary
• Show conflicts (if any)
• List created/updated files
• Provide links to Jira and SpecWeave

4. **Handle errors gracefully**:

• Check if .env credentials exist
• Validate increment/epic exists
• Show clear error messages

Examples

Example 1: Import Epic

**User**: `sw:sync-jira import SCRUM-2` **You**:

• Import Epic SCRUM-2 from Jira
• Show: "✅ Imported as Increment 0004"
• List: "Created: spec.md, tasks.md, RFC document"
• Link: "Jira: https://... | Increment: .specweave/increments/0004/"

Example 2: Add Story to Current Increment

**User**: `sw:sync-jira add SCRUM-1` **You**:

• Determine current increment (latest or from context)
• Fetch SCRUM-1 from Jira
• Add to increment's spec.md (under ## User Stories)
• Update tasks.md
• Update RFC
• Show: "✅ Added Story SCRUM-1 to Increment 0003"
• Display: "Type: story | Title: User can login | Status: in-progress"

Example 3: Add Bug to Specific Increment

**User**: `sw:sync-jira add SCRUM-10 to 0003` **You**:

• Fetch SCRUM-10 from Jira (it's a Bug)
• Add to increment 0003's spec.md (under ## Bugs)
• Update tasks.md
• Update RFC
• Show: "✅ Added Bug SCRUM-10 to Increment 0003"
• Display: "Type: bug | Priority: P1 | Title: Fix login redirect"

Example 4: Create Increment from Multiple Items

**User**: `sw:sync-jira create "User Authentication" from SCRUM-1 SCRUM-5 SCRUM-7` **You**:

• Fetch all 3 issues from Jira
• Determine types (story, bug, task)
• Create new increment 0005
• Group by type in spec.md:
• ## User Stories (SCRUM-1, SCRUM-5)
• ## Technical Tasks (SCRUM-7)
• Generate RFC with all items
• Show: "✅ Created Increment 0005 with 3 work items"
• Display table:

  | Type  | Jira Key | Title           |
  |-------|----------|-----------------|
  | Story | SCRUM-1  | User login UI   |
  | Story | SCRUM-5  | OAuth backend   |
  | Task  | SCRUM-7  | Setup provider  |

Example 5: Two-way Sync (Default)

**User**: `sw-jira:sync 0003` **You**:

• Read increment 0003
• Find linked Jira items (from spec.md frontmatter.work_items)
• Fetch current state from Jira

**Detect changes (both directions)**:

• FROM Jira: Status changes, priority updates, comments
• FROM SpecWeave: Task completion, progress updates

**Show two-way sync summary**:

✅ Two-way Sync Complete: 0003 ↔ Jira

FROM Jira:
  • SCRUM-1: Status changed to In Progress
  • SCRUM-10: Priority raised to P1

FROM SpecWeave:
  • 3 tasks completed (T-005, T-006, T-007)
  • Progress: 60% → 75%

Conflicts: None

**Handle conflicts if any**:

• Show both versions (Jira vs SpecWeave)
• Ask user which to keep or how to merge
• Apply resolution in both directions

Example 6: Status Overview

**User**: `sw-jira:sync status` **You**:

• Scan all increments for Jira metadata
• Show table:
