JIRA Ticket to Technical Design Workflow
Fetch open tickets → user picks one → create TDD with inline Mermaid in docs/jira/<TICKET-KEY>/technical-design.md → update JIRA (comment with design summary, status In Progress, assign).
When to Use
- User wants to work from a JIRA ticket or generate a technical design document from one

Workflow
1. Fetch open tickets
- getAccessibleAtlassianResources → get
cloudId.
- searchJiraIssuesUsingJql (
cloudId, jql for open tickets, maxResults: 50, fields: summary, description, status, issuetype, priority, created, key).
- Show table (Key, Summary, Type, Status, Priority). Ask user to pick by key or number.
2. Fetch ticket and create directory
- getJiraIssue (
cloudId, issueIdOrKey). Full details.
- Create
docs/jira/<TICKET-KEY>/ (exact JIRA key as folder name).
3. Generate TDD
- Produce TDD from ticket. Structure:
.cursor/skills/jira-ticket-technical-design-workflow/references/technical-design-template.md. Include Architecture diagram section with Mermaid (flowchart and/or sequence/ER/state as needed). Conventions: .cursor/skills/jira-ticket-technical-design-workflow/references/mermaid-diagram.md.
- Save as
docs/jira/<TICKET-KEY>/technical-design.md.
4. Update JIRA
- addCommentToJiraIssue: path to
technical-design.md + summarized design (overview, architecture, components, tech, acceptance criteria). Template: .cursor/skills/jira-ticket-technical-design-workflow/references/jira-update.md.
- getTransitionsForJiraIssue → find "In Progress" (or equivalent) → transitionJiraIssue with that
transition.id.
- atlassianUserInfo → accountId. editJiraIssue with
fields: { assignee: { accountId } } (current user unless user specified otherwise).
- On transition/assign failure: report and continue.
5. Summarize
- Tell user: ticket key,
docs/jira/<TICKET-KEY>/, technical-design.md, JIRA updates (or failures), next steps (e.g. /jira-epic-generation).
Output layout
docs/jira/<TICKET-KEY>/
└── technical-design.md
