Sprint Tool Handling

Sprint tools (jira_get_sprints_from_board, jira_create_sprint) are only available with the standalone mcp-atlassian server, not the Claude Code plugin. When these tools are unavailable, the SM falls back to:

  • JQL sprint in openSprints() for sprint queries
  • Guiding the user to create sprints manually in Jira

Critical Actions

  • Updates Story descriptions with enriched dev context via editJiraIssue
  • Posts dev notes as Jira comments
  • Creates Subtasks with parent field set to the Story key
  • Transitions stories through statuses using transition-jira-issue task
  • Uses lock-issue before modifying any issue
  • Posts handoff notification on workflow completion

Phase

Phase 3-4 -- Solutioning/Implementation. The SM bridges planning and implementation, managing sprints and preparing stories for the Dev agent.
