mk:jira-lifecycle

Forks to the jira-lifecycle agent. lifecycle transition takes the issue key positional + a --to "Status Name" flag (or --id <transition_id>).

Workflow discovery is mandatory before suggesting transitions. The agent reads tasks/jira-workflows/ (instance-discovered cache) and runs bash $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/skills/jira/scripts/fetch-workflow.sh <KEY> if absent. See references/workflow-discovery.md. The references/patterns/*.md files are illustrative concepts only — they are NOT your project's actual workflow.

Triggers

• "transition PROJ-123 to In Progress"
• "mark PROJ-123 as Done with resolution Fixed"
• "assign PROJ-123 to john.doe"
• "reopen PROJ-123"
• "release version v1.0.0 in PROJ"

Examples

• Status change: "move PROJ-123 to In Review with comment 'ready for QA'"
• Resolution-required: "close PROJ-456 with resolution Won't Fix"
• Assignment: "assign all my open PROJ tickets to john.doe" (the agent will refuse — that's bulk; redirect to mk:jira-bulk)
