SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gh, rovo-mcp-invoke, acli, jq, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Centralizes issue tracker operations for GitHub Issues and Jira into a single delegatable skill. It enables fetch, comment, pr-link generation, and reference extraction from requirement documents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fetch issue details (title, body, labels, state, assignees) from GitHub or Jira.
  • Post templated comments (phase-start, phase-completion, work-start, work-complete, bug-start, bug-complete) on issues.
  • Generate PR body issue links (e.g., Closes #N or PROJ-123) for PR creation and linking.
  • Extract issue references from requirement documents (GitHub Issue headings, Issue, or Issue Tracker sections).

Quick Start

Provide an issue reference and the operation to perform; the orchestrator will route the request to the correct backend and execute the action inline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch issue details from Jira and GitHub Issues in the same workflow?▼

Fetch issue details across Jira and GitHub Issues simultaneously by providing an issue reference; backend detection automatically routes the request to return title, body, labels, state, and assignees.

How do I post automated status comments on GitHub Issues and Jira tickets?▼

Post automated status comments by applying templated messages like phase-start, work-complete, or bug-start to issue references; the backend formats and submits the comment directly to the tracker.

Can I automatically generate PR body issue links for Jira and GitHub issue references?▼

Generate PR body issue links automatically by supplying issue references like Closes #N or PROJ-123; the tool formats the reference syntax for PR creation and tracker linking.

Does issue-tracking automation work without the GitHub CLI or acli installed?▼

Issue-tracking automation degrades gracefully without blocking workflows if GitHub CLI or acli is missing, using a tiered fallback across Rovo MCP, acli, and gh commands to maintain operations.

How do I extract issue references from requirement documents for issue-tracking?▼

Extract issue references from requirement documents by scanning GitHub Issue headings, Issue, or Issue Tracker sections; the tool identifies and parses reference formats for workflow orchestration.
