# Specweave Jira Mapper Skill

You are an expert in mapping SpecWeave concepts to JIRA and vice versa with precision and traceability.

## Core Responsibilities

1. **Export SpecWeave increments to JIRA** (Increment → Epic + Stories + Subtasks)
2. **Import JIRA epics as SpecWeave increments** (Epic → Increment structure)
3. **Sync**: Content flows SpecWeave→JIRA, status flows JIRA→SpecWeave
4. **Maintain traceability** (store keys, URLs, timestamps)
5. **Validate mapping accuracy** using test cases
6. **Handle edge cases** (missing fields, invalid statuses, API errors)

---

## Concept Mappings

### SpecWeave → JIRA

| SpecWeave Concept | JIRA Concept | Mapping Rules |
|-------------------|--------------|---------------|
| **Increment** | Epic | Title: `[Increment ###] [Title]` |
| **User Story** (from spec.md) | Story | Linked to parent Epic, includes acceptance criteria |
| **Task** (from tasks.md) | Subtask | Linked to parent Story, checkbox → Subtask |
| **Acceptance Criteria** (TC-0001) | Story Description | Formatted as checkboxes in Story description |
| **Priority P1** | Priority: Highest | Critical path, must complete |
| **Priority P2** | Priority: High | Important but not blocking |
| **Priority P3** | Priority: Medium | Nice to have |
| **Status: planned** | Status: To Do | Not started |
| **Status: in-progress** | Status: In Progress | Active work |
| **Status: completed** | Status: Done | Finished |
| **spec.md** | Epic Description | Summary + link to spec (if GitHub repo) |

### JIRA → SpecWeave

| JIRA Concept | SpecWeave Concept | Import Rules |
|--------------|-------------------|--------------|
| **Epic** | Increment | Auto-number next available (e.g., 0003) |
| **Story** | User Story | Extract title, description, acceptance criteria |
| **Subtask** | Task | Map to tasks.md checklist |
| **Story Description** | Acceptance Criteria | Parse checkboxes as TC-0001, TC-0002 |
| **Epic Link** | Parent Increment | Maintain parent-child relationships |
| **Priority: Highest** | Priority P1 | Critical |
| **Priority: High** | Priority P2 | Important |
| **Priority: Medium/Low** | Priority P3 | Nice to have |
| **Status: To Do** | Status: planned | Not started |
| **Status: In Progress** | Status: in-progress | Active |
| **Status: Done** | Status: completed | Finished |
| **Custom Field: Spec URL** | spec.md link | Cross-reference |

## Security Rules (MANDATORY)

These rules apply to ALL JIRA and Confluence API operations in this skill.

### Credential Handling

1. **Never collect credentials** — this skill reads from `.env` only, never prompts the user
2. **Never log secrets** — never echo token values, auth headers, or base64 credentials
3. **Never write credentials** — the user configures `.env` themselves

### Credential Loading

```bash
# 1. Validate presence FIRST (before reading any values)
for KEY in JIRA_API_TOKEN JIRA_EMAIL JIRA_DOMAIN; do
  if ! grep -qE "^${KEY}=.+" .env; then
    echo "Error: ${KEY} missing or empty in .env"
    exit 1
  fi
done

# 2. Load credentials ONLY after validation passes (never display values)
#    head -1 ensures only first match used if .env has duplicate keys
JIRA_API_TOKEN="$(grep '^JIRA_API_TOKEN=' .env | head -1 | cut -d '=' -f2-)"
JIRA_EMAIL="$(grep '^JIRA_EMAIL=' .env | head -1 | cut -d '=' -f2-)"
JIRA_DOMAIN="$(grep '^JIRA_DOMAIN=' .env | head -1 | cut -d '=' -f2-)"
```

### Domain Validation (before ANY API call)

```bash
# Reject IP addresses FIRST — IPv4, IPv6 brackets, hex-encoded (SSRF prevention)
if [[ "$JIRA_DOMAIN" =~ ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ ]] || [[ "$JIRA_DOMAIN" =~ ^\[.*\]$ ]] || [[ "$JIRA_DOMAIN" =~ ^0x ]]; then
  echo "Error: IP addresses not allowed — use a hostname"
  exit 1
fi

# Reject localhost and private networks
if [[ "$JIRA_DOMAIN" =~ ^(localhost|127\.|10\.|172\.(1[6-9]|2[0-9]|3[01])\.|192\.168\.) ]]; then
  echo "Error: Internal/localhost addresses not allowed"
  exit 1
fi

# Must be a valid hostname — no special chars, no consecutive dots
if [[ ! "$JIRA_DOMAIN" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$ ]]; then
  echo "Error: JIRA_DOMAIN contains invalid characters"
  exit 1
fi

# Cloud JIRA: must match <subdomain>.atlassian.net
# Agent: use AskUserQuestion to confirm non-standard domain before retrying
if [[ ! "$JIRA_DOMAIN" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.atlassian\.net$ ]]; then
  echo "Error: Domain does not match <subdomain>.atlassian.net pattern"
  exit 1
fi
```

### API Call Pattern (HTTPS only, quoted variables)

```bash
AUTH="$(printf '%s:%s' "$JIRA_EMAIL" "$JIRA_API_TOKEN" | base64)"

# All API calls MUST use https://, double-quote all variables
curl -s -f \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $AUTH" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://${JIRA_DOMAIN}/rest/api/3/..."
```

## Conversion Workflows

### 1. Export: Increment → JIRA Epic

**Input**: `.specweave/increments/0001-feature-name/`

**Prerequisites**:
- Increment folder exists
- `spec.md` exists with valid frontmatter
- `tasks.md` exists
- JIRA credentials configured in `.env` (validated per Security Rules above)

**Process**:

1. **Read increment files**:
   ```bash
   # Read spec.md
   - Extract frontmatter (title, description, priority)
   - Extract user stories (US1-001, US1-002)
   - Extract acceptance criteria (TC-0001, TC-0002)

   # Read tasks.md
   - Extract task checklist
   - Group tasks by user story (if structured)
   ```

2. **Create JIRA Epic**:
   ```
   Title: [Increment 0001] Feature Name
   Description:
     {spec.md summary}

     Specification: {link to spec.md if GitHub repo}

   Labels: specweave, priority:P1, status:planned
   Custom Fields:
     - SpecWeave Increment ID: 0001-feature-name
     - Spec URL: https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/.specweave/increments/0001-feature-name/spec.md
   ```

3. **Create JIRA Stories** (one per user story):
   ```
   Title: {User Story title}
   Description:
     **As a** {role}
     **I want to** {goal}
     **So that** {benefit}

     **Acceptance Criteria**:
     - [ ] TC-0001: {criteria}
     - [ ] TC-0002: {criteria}

   Epic Link: {Epic Key}
   Labels: specweave, user-story
   ```

4. **Create JIRA Subtasks** (from tasks.md):
   ```
   Title: {Task description}
   Parent: {Story Key}
   Labels: specweave, task
   ```

5. **Update increment frontmatter**:
   ```yaml
   jira:
     epic_key: "PROJ-123"
     epic_url: "https://jira.company.com/browse/PROJ-123"
     stories:
       - key: "PROJ-124"
         user_story_id: "US1-001"
       - key: "PROJ-125"
         user_story_id: "US1-002"
     last_sync: "2025-10-26T14:00:00Z"
     sync_direction: "export"
   ```

**Output**:
```
✅ Exported to JIRA!

Epic: PROJ-123
URL: https://jira.company.com/browse/PROJ-123
Stories: 5 created (PROJ-124 to PROJ-128)
Subtasks: 12 created
Last Sync: 2025-10-26T14:00:00Z
```

---

### 2. Import: JIRA Epic → Increment

**Input**: JIRA Epic key (e.g., `PROJ-123`)

**Prerequisites**:
- Valid JIRA Epic key
- Epic exists and is accessible
- JIRA connection configured

**Process**:

1. **Fetch Epic details** (via JIRA API/MCP):
   ```
   - Epic title, description, labels
   - Epic custom fields (if SpecWeave ID exists)
   - Priority, status
   ```

2. **Fetch linked Stories and Subtasks**:
   ```
   - All Stories linked to Epic
   - All Subtasks linked to each Story
   - Story descriptions (acceptance criteria)
   ```

3. **Auto-number next increment**:
   ```bash
   # Scan .specweave/increments/ for highest number
   ls .specweave/increments/ | grep -E '^[0-9]{4}' | sort -n | tail -1
   # Increment by 1 → 0003
   ```

4. **Create increment folder**:
   ```
   .specweave/increments/0003-imported-feature/
   ```

5. **Generate spec.md**:
   ```yaml
   ---
   increment_id: "0003"
   title: "{Epic title}"
   status: "{mapped from JIRA status}"
   priority: "{mapped from JIRA priority}"
   created_at: "{Epic created date}"
   jira:
     epic_key: "PROJ-123"
     epic_url: "https://jira.company.com/browse/PROJ-123"
     imported_at: "2025-10-26T14:00:00Z"
   ---

   # {Epic title}

   {Epic description}

   ## User Stories

   ### US1-001: {Story 1 title}

   **As a** {extracted from Story description}
   **I want to** {extracted}
   **So that** {extracted}

   **Acceptance Criteria**:
   - [ ] TC-0001: {parsed from Story description}
   - [ ] TC-0002: {parsed}

   **JIRA Story**: [PROJ-124](https://jira.company.com/browse/PROJ-124)
   ```

6. **Generate tasks.md**:
   ```markdown
   # Tasks: {Increment title}

   ## User Story: US1-001

   - [ ] {Subtask 1 title} (JIRA: PROJ-130)
   - [ ] {Subtask 2 title} (JIRA: PROJ-131)

   ## User Story: US1-002

   - [ ] {Subtask 3 title} (JIRA: PROJ-132)
   ```

7. **Update JIRA Epic** (add custom field if available):
   ```
   Custom Field: SpecWeave Increment ID = 0003-imported-feature
   ```

**Output**:
```
✅ Imported from JIRA!

Increment: 0003-imported-feature
Location: .specweave/increments/0003-imported-feature/
User Stories: 5 imported
Tasks: 12 imported
JIRA Epic: PROJ-123
```

---

### 3. Bidirectional Sync

**Trigger**: Manual (`/sync-jira`) or webhook

**Prerequisites**:
- Increment has JIRA metadata in frontmatter
- JIRA Epic/Stories exist
- Last sync timestamp available

**Process**:

1. **Detect changes since last sync**:
   ```
   SpecWeave changes:
   - spec.md modified after last_sync
   - tasks.md modified after last_sync
   - Task checkboxes changed

   JIRA changes:
   - Epic/Story/Subtask updated after last_sync
   - Status changes
   - New comments
   ```

2. **Compare and detect conflicts**:
   ```
   Conflict types:
   - Title changed in both (SpecWeave + JIRA)
   - Task marked done in SpecWeave, but JIRA Subtask still "In Progress"
   - Priority changed in both
   ```

3. **Present conflicts to user**:
   ```
   ⚠️  Sync Conflicts Detected:

   1. Title changed:
      SpecWeave: "User Authentication v2"
      JIRA: "User Auth with OAuth"

      Choose: [SpecWeave] [JIRA] [Manual]

   2. Task status mismatch:
      Task: "Implement login endpoint"
      SpecWeave: ✅ completed
      JIRA Subtask: In Progress

      Choose: [Mark JIRA Done] [Uncheck SpecWeave] [Manual]
   ```

4. **Apply sync**:
   ```
   SpecWeave → JIRA:
   - Update Epic/Story titles
   - Update Subtask statuses (checkbox → JIRA status)
   - Add comments for significant changes

   JIRA → SpecWeave:
   - Update spec.md frontmatter (status, priority)
   - Update task checkboxes (JIRA Subtask status → checkbox)
   - Log JIRA comments to increment logs/
   ```

5. **Update sync timestamps**:
   ```yaml
   jira:
     last_sync: "2025-10-26T16:30:00Z"
     sync_direction: "two-way"
     conflicts_resolved: 2
   ```

**Output**:
```
✅ Synced with JIRA!

Direction: Two-way
Changes Applied:
  - SpecWeave → JIRA: 3 updates
  - JIRA → SpecWeave: 5 updates
Conflicts Resolved: 2 (user decisions)
Last Sync: 2025-10-26T16:30:00Z
```

## Edge Cases and Error Handling

### Missing Fields

**Problem**: Increment missing spec.md or JIRA Epic missing required fields

**Solution**:
```
❌ Error: spec.md not found in increment 0001-feature-name

   Expected: .specweave/increments/0001-feature-name/spec.md

   Please create spec.md before exporting to JIRA.
```

### JIRA API Errors

**Problem**: JIRA API rate limit, authentication failure, network error

**Solution**:
```
❌ JIRA API Error: Rate limit exceeded (429)

   Retry in: 60 seconds

   Alternative: Export to JSON and manually import to JIRA later.
```

### Invalid Status Mapping

**Problem**: JIRA uses custom workflow statuses not in standard mapping

**Solution**:
```
⚠️  Unknown JIRA status: "Awaiting Review"

   Available mappings:
   - To Do → planned
   - In Progress → in-progress
   - Done → completed

   Map "Awaiting Review" to: [planned] [in-progress] [completed] [Custom]
```

### Conflict Resolution

**Problem**: Same field changed in both SpecWeave and JIRA

**Solution**:
- Always ask user for resolution
- Provide diff view
- Offer merge options
- Never auto-resolve conflicts silently

---

## Best Practices

1. **Always validate before sync** - Check increment structure, JIRA connection
2. **Preserve traceability** - Store JIRA keys in frontmatter, SpecWeave IDs in JIRA
3. **Ask before overwriting** - Never auto-resolve conflicts
4. **Log all operations** - Write sync logs to `.specweave/increments/{id}/logs/jira-sync.log`
5. **Handle errors gracefully** - Provide actionable error messages
6. **Test mappings** - Use test cases to validate accuracy

---

## Usage Examples

### Export to JIRA

```
User: "Export increment 0001 to JIRA"

You:
1. Read .specweave/increments/0001-*/spec.md and tasks.md
2. Extract user stories and tasks
3. Create JIRA Epic with title "[Increment 0001] {title}"
4. Create Stories for each user story
5. Create Subtasks for each task
6. Update increment frontmatter with JIRA keys
7. Present summary with Epic URL
```

### Import from JIRA

```
User: "Import JIRA epic PROJ-123"

You:
1. Fetch Epic PROJ-123 via JIRA API
2. Fetch linked Stories and Subtasks
3. Auto-number next increment (e.g., 0003)
4. Generate spec.md with user stories
5. Generate tasks.md with subtasks
6. Present summary with increment location
```

### Bidirectional Sync

```
User: "Sync increment 0001 with JIRA"

You:
1. Read increment frontmatter for JIRA keys
2. Detect changes since last_sync
3. Compare SpecWeave vs JIRA
4. Present conflicts (if any) for user resolution
5. Apply sync (SpecWeave ↔ JIRA)
6. Update sync timestamps
7. Present summary with changes applied
```

## Confluence Page Sync (Atlassian Wiki)

### Overview

Sync SpecWeave living docs to Confluence pages. Confluence is commonly paired with JIRA for documentation.

**Reference**: [confluence-page-api.md](../../reference/confluence-page-api.md)

### Confluence Credentials

Same security rules as JIRA credentials (see Security Rules section above). User configures `.env`, skill only validates presence. Same domain validation applies.

Required `.env` keys (configured by the user, NOT by this skill):
```
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=<your-token>    # Same as JIRA API token
CONFLUENCE_EMAIL=<your-email>
CONFLUENCE_DOMAIN=<your-company>.atlassian.net
CONFLUENCE_SPACE_KEY=<space-key>
```

### Page Update Workflow (CRITICAL)

**Rule**: Version MUST be incremented on every update.

```bash
# 1. GET current page to retrieve version
GET /wiki/api/v2/pages/{pageId}?body-format=storage
→ Extract: version.number, title, spaceId

# 2. PUT with incremented version
PUT /wiki/api/v2/pages/{pageId}
{
  "id": "{pageId}",
  "status": "current",
  "title": "{title}",
  "spaceId": "{spaceId}",
  "body": {
    "representation": "storage",
    "value": "<p>Updated content</p>"
  },
  "version": {
    "number": {currentVersion + 1},
    "message": "Synced from SpecWeave"
  }
}
```

### SpecWeave → Confluence Mapping

| SpecWeave | Confluence | Location |
|-----------|------------|----------|
| Increment spec.md | Page | `/wiki/spaces/{SPACE}/pages/{pageId}` |
| tasks.md | Task List macro | `<ac:task-list>` in page body |
| Living docs | Child pages | Under parent page |
| AC checkboxes | Task status | `complete`/`incomplete` |

### Storage Format Essentials

Confluence uses XHTML-based storage format (NOT standard HTML):

```xml
<!-- Task list for spec ACs -->
<ac:task-list>
  <ac:task>
    <ac:task-status>incomplete</ac:task-status>
    <ac:task-body>AC-001: User can login</ac:task-body>
  </ac:task>
  <ac:task>
    <ac:task-status>complete</ac:task-status>
    <ac:task-body>AC-002: Password validation</ac:task-body>
  </ac:task>
</ac:task-list>

<!-- Status macro (colored label) -->
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="status">
  <ac:parameter ac:name="colour">Green</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="title">COMPLETED</ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>

<!-- Code block -->
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="code">
  <ac:parameter ac:name="language">typescript</ac:parameter>
  <ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[const x = 1;]]></ac:plain-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>
```

### Metadata Storage

```json
{
  "external_sync": {
    "jira": { "issueKey": "PROJ-123" },
    "confluence": {
      "pageId": "123456789",
      "pageUrl": "https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROJ/pages/123456789",
      "spaceKey": "PROJ",
      "lastSyncedAt": "2026-02-02T10:30:00Z"
    }
  }
}
```

### Common Errors

| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `409: Version must be incremented` | Stale version | Re-GET page, increment version |
| `400: Invalid storage format` | Bad XHTML | Self-close tags (`<br />`) |
| `403: Forbidden` | No page permission | Check space permissions |
