SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Work Monitor helps you quickly see what needs your attention by consolidating the most relevant updates across GitHub pull requests and Jira tickets.

Core Features & Use Cases

GitHub PR monitoring: surfaces PRs awaiting your review, review requests, @mentions, recent PR activity, and CI check status.
Jira ticket monitoring (via Atlassian MCP, with fallback): tracks tickets assigned to you and surfaces updates, comments, and mentions, with PR-title ticket extraction when MCP is not configured.
Context-aware filtering: automatically scopes results to the current project directory using configured project context, or falls back to a generic all-project view.
Use cases: morning standup preparation, end-of-day wrap, triaging urgent PR/check failures, and drilling into a specific PR or ticket.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema

How do I prepare for a daily standup using GitHub pull requests and Jira tickets?▼

To prepare for a daily standup, you can aggregate GitHub pull requests and Jira ticket updates to see what needs your attention. This surfaces PRs awaiting review, CI check status, and assigned ticket comments without manual searching.

Do I need the GitHub CLI to monitor pull requests and CI checks?▼

Yes, monitoring GitHub pull requests and CI checks requires the GitHub CLI (gh). The Skill uses gh to fetch PR lists, view PR details, and retrieve CI check status for your work monitoring workflow.

Can I track Jira ticket updates without configuring the Atlassian MCP?▼

You can track Jira ticket updates without the Atlassian MCP by falling back to extracting ticket keys from GitHub PR titles and descriptions. Configuring the MCP is required for direct Jira ticket monitoring, comments, and mentions.

What is the best way to see GitHub PR review requests and mentions across projects?▼

The best way to see GitHub PR review requests and mentions is to aggregate PR activity using context-aware project detection. This automatically scopes results to your current project directory or provides a generic all-project view.

How does context-aware filtering work when monitoring GitHub and Jira updates?▼

Context-aware filtering automatically scopes GitHub pull request and Jira ticket updates to the current project directory using configured project context. If no context is detected, it falls back to a generic all-project view.

What are the limitations of monitoring Jira tickets through GitHub PR titles?▼

When monitoring Jira tickets through GitHub PR titles without the Atlassian MCP, the limitation is that you only extract ticket keys from PR titles and descriptions. You cannot track direct ticket updates, comments, or mentions without MCP configured.
