README

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 pip and venv.
  • 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 of claude, codex, or cursor-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.


Quickstart

# once published to PyPI
pip install jira-watcher-agent

# or from source
git clone https://github.com//jira-watcher-agent && cd jira-watcher-agent
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

# configure
cp .env.example .env
$EDITOR .env                 # fill in JIRA_BASE_URL, JIRA_EMAIL, JIRA_API_TOKEN

# verify auth, then run
watcher --whoami             # confirms which JIRA account you're hitting
watcher                      # one-shot triage digest
