jira-watcher-agent
An AI-powered JIRA planner, organizer, and triage CLI for engineers.
*Fetch every JIRA ticket assigned to you, get an LLM-generated triage digest by category, and investigate potential resolutions — all from your terminal, powered by the coding CLI you already use ([Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), [OpenAI Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex), or [Cursor Agent](https://cursor.com/cli)).*
**[Quickstart](#quickstart) · [Configuration](#configuration) · [Integrations](#integrations) · [Resolve stage](#resolve-stage) · [How it works](#how-watcher-works) · [Troubleshooting**](#troubleshooting)
*Also known as a JIRA planner, JIRA organizer, JIRA triage tool, JIRA AI agent, JIRA CLI, or a Claude / Codex / Cursor JIRA integration.*
**Public alpha.** Core workflows are usable day-to-day, but flag names, JQL defaults, and memory schema may still change.
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
- Python 3.9+ with
pipandvenv. - A JIRA account — either JIRA Cloud (Atlassian-hosted, including custom
vanity domains like
jira.mycompany.com) or JIRA Server / Data Center. - One coding CLI on your
PATH— any ofclaude,codex, orcursor-agent. Watcher shells out to it; you keep your existing subscription and auth. - A JIRA credential appropriate to your flavor (see Configuration).
You do **not** need a separate Anthropic, OpenAI, or Cursor API key.
