Delegating to Jira Agent

Core Principle

Never handle Jira operations directly. Always delegate to a specialized sub-agent to keep your context clean and costs low.

Recognition Patterns

Delegate when user says:

  • •"show me jira issue PROJ-1234"
  • •"what jira issues do I have?"
  • •"search jira for nginx"
  • •"create a jira for this work"
  • •"add a comment to PROJ-1234"
  • •Any mention of: jira, issue, ticket, PROJ-, AcmeED-

How to Delegate

Use the Task tool with a specialized prompt:

code
Task(
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  description: "Query Acme Jira",
  prompt: "<full agent instructions from AGENT-INSTRUCTIONS.md>"
)

Agent Prompt Template

When delegating, include:

  1. •The complete agent instructions (see AGENT-INSTRUCTIONS.md)
  2. •The user's specific request
  3. •Clear output format requirements

Example:

code
You are a Acme Jira specialist. Your job is to query Acme's Atlassian Jira using shell wrappers and return clean results.

<AGENT INSTRUCTIONS HERE>

USER REQUEST: Show me my jira issues for production-main

Return a clean summary with:
- Issue keys
- Summaries
- Status
- URLs

After Agent Returns

  1. •Present results cleanly to user
  2. •Offer follow-up if relevant (e.g., "Would you like details on PROJ-1234?")
  3. •Don't expose mechanics (curl, auth, etc.) to user

Benefits

  • •✅ Main context stays clean
  • •✅ Cheaper queries (sub-agent uses less expensive model)
  • •✅ Specialized knowledge isolated
  • •✅ Scalable pattern for other services

Example Flow

code
User: "show me my open jira issues"

Main Assistant: [Recognizes Jira query]
              → Invokes Task tool with agent instructions
              → Agent runs issuetracker-mine wrapper
              → Agent returns formatted results

Main Assistant: "You have 20 open issues. Here are the highlights:
                - PROJ-1638: production-main (In Development)
                - PROJ-2216: Reduce catdv log noise (Scheduled)
                ..."

Red Flags

DON'T:

  • •❌ Try to run issuetracker-* scripts yourself
  • •❌ Construct curl commands in main session
  • •❌ Load detailed Jira API knowledge
  • •❌ Handle authentication directly

DO:

  • •✅ Immediately delegate on Jira keywords
  • •✅ Trust the sub-agent's results
  • •✅ Present clean summaries to user
