Risk Levels

Risk Legend: - Safe, read-only | ! Caution, modifiable | !! Warning, destructive but recoverable | !!! Danger, irreversible

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Discover project context: Auto-discover project metadata, workflows, and usage patterns
• Monitor cache status: Check cache size, entry counts, and hit rates
• Clear cache data: Remove stale or sensitive cached data
• Pre-warm cache: Load commonly accessed data for better performance
• Optimize performance: Reduce API calls through effective caching
• Troubleshoot slowness: Diagnose cache-related performance issues

What This Skill Does

IMPORTANT: Always use the jira-as CLI. Never run Python scripts directly.

• Project Discovery: Discover project metadata and usage patterns (field fill rates, value distributions, parent hierarchy) for intelligent defaults
• Cache Status Monitoring: Display cache statistics (size, entries, hit rates)
• Cache Clearing: Remove cache entries by category, pattern, or all at once
• Cache Warming: Pre-load project metadata and field definitions
• Request Batching: Parallel request execution for bulk operations (programmatic API)

Quick Start

# Discover project context (prints to stdout)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ

# Check cache status
jira-as ops cache-status

# Clear all cache
jira-as ops cache-clear --force

# Warm cache with all metadata
jira-as ops cache-warm --all

Common Tasks (30-Second Solutions)

Check cache status

# Basic status
jira-as ops cache-status

# Output as JSON
jira-as ops cache-status --json

# Verbose output (-v is short for --verbose)
jira-as ops cache-status -v
jira-as ops cache-status --verbose

Warm the cache

# Cache project list
jira-as ops cache-warm --projects

# Cache field definitions
jira-as ops cache-warm --fields

# Cache assignable users (requires project context)
jira-as ops cache-warm --users

# Cache all available metadata with verbose output
jira-as ops cache-warm --all --verbose

# Output as JSON
jira-as ops cache-warm --all --json

Clear cache

# Clear all cache (with confirmation)
jira-as ops cache-clear

# Clear all cache (skip confirmation, -f is short for --force)
jira-as ops cache-clear -f
jira-as ops cache-clear --force

# Clear only issue cache (-c is short for --category)
# Categories: issue, project, user, field, search, default
jira-as ops cache-clear -c issue -f
jira-as ops cache-clear --category issue --force

# Preview what would be cleared
jira-as ops cache-clear --dry-run

# Clear keys matching pattern
jira-as ops cache-clear --pattern "PROJ-*" -c issue -f

# Clear specific cache key (requires --category)
jira-as ops cache-clear --key "PROJ-123" -c issue -f

# Output as JSON
jira-as ops cache-clear -f --json

Discover project context

# Discover and print project context to stdout (text format)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ

# Output as JSON (-o is short for --output)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ -o json
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ --output json

# Verbose output with detailed analysis (-v is short for --verbose)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ -v

# Custom sample size and period (-s, -d are short forms)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ -s 200 -d 60
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ --sample-size 200 --days 60

# Output goes to stdout only; redirect to save the full discovery data
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ -o json > project-context.json

Discovery output includes project metadata (issue types, components, versions, assignable users) plus pattern analysis of sampled issues: top assignees, common labels, per-field fill rates, value distributions (issue type, status, priority), and parent hierarchy usage. Use --output json to get the full discovery data.
