Inputs

Workflow

1. Load Persona

• persona_load(persona="developer")

2. Known Issues

• check_known_issues(tool_name="jira", error_text="")
• check_known_issues(tool_name="clone", error_text="")

3. Get Source Issue

• jira_view_issue(issue_key=issue_key) — Fetch source details
• Parse: extract summary, type; verify exists (len > 50)

4. Clone Issue

• jira_clone_issue(issue_key=issue_key, summary=new_summary or "Clone: " + source_summary)
• Parse result: extract new_key (AAP-XXXXX pattern)

5. Link & Assign

• jira_add_link(from_issue=new_key, to_issue=issue_key, link_type=link_type) — Link clone to original
• If assign_to_me: jira_assign(issue_key=new_key)

6. Run Hygiene on Clone

• skill_run(skill_name="jira_hygiene", inputs='{"issue_key": "' + new_key + '", "auto_fix": true, "auto_transition": false}')

7. Memory

• memory_session_log(action="Cloned {issue_key} to {new_key}")
• memory_append(key="state/current_work", list_path="active_issues", item={key: new_key, status: New, cloned_from: issue_key})

8. Learning from Failures

• If "issue does not exist": learn_tool_fix("jira_view_issue", "issue does not exist", "Jira key incorrect or deleted", "Verify format AAP-12345")
• If "unauthorized": learn_tool_fix("jira_clone_issue", "unauthorized", "Jira auth failed", "Check Jira credentials")
