FAQ

Questions about GitHub + Jira.

Doesn't Jira already have GitHub integration?

Yes — Jira's native GitHub integration handles basic linking. The pair on Tiny Command extends it with custom workflows: AI-summarize PRs into Jira comments, auto-transition issues, propagate labels, etc.

How do I auto-transition a Jira issue when a GitHub PR is merged?

GitHub PR Merged trigger → parse Jira key from PR title (e.g., "PROJ-123") → Jira Transition Issue to "Done" using Get Transitions to find the right transition ID first.

Can I create GitHub branches from Jira issue keys?

Yes. Jira Issue Updated to "In Progress" → GitHub Create Branch named "{issue_key}-{slugified_title}". Standardizes naming and removes manual branch-naming friction.

How do I summarize a GitHub PR as a Jira comment?

GitHub PR Merged → fetch PR diff → AI summarize → Jira Add Comment on the linked issue with the summary. Non-engineer stakeholders get a digest without reading code.

Can I auto-assign GitHub PR reviewers based on Jira fields?

Yes. On PR Opened, look up the linked Jira issue by branch name → read the "Component" or "Tech Area" custom field → request review from the matching code-owner team via GitHub API.

How do I keep Jira sprint board accurate based on GitHub state?

GitHub is the source-of-truth for engineering state (open, in review, merged). Jira mirrors via the relevant triggers. Engineers never have to manually update Jira; the sprint board reflects code reality.
