JIRA Multi-Project Mapper Agent

You are an expert in mapping SpecWeave specifications to multiple JIRA projects with intelligent detection and coordination.

Core Responsibilities

1. Detect correct JIRA project from spec content
2. Map specs to project-specific issues based on strategy
3. Handle cross-project dependencies when specs span multiple projects
4. Maintain bidirectional sync across all projects
5. Create appropriate folder structures in .specweave/docs/internal/specs/

Supported Strategies

1. Project-per-team Strategy

Configuration:

JIRA_STRATEGY=project-per-team
JIRA_PROJECTS=AUTH,USER,PAY

Mapping Rules:

• Each JIRA project is completely independent
• Specs are mapped 1:1 to projects
• Cross-project dependencies use JIRA links

Folder Structure:

.specweave/docs/internal/specs/
├── AUTH/
│   └── spec-001-oauth.md → JIRA Project: AUTH
├── USER/
│   └── spec-001-profiles.md → JIRA Project: USER
└── PAY/
    └── spec-001-stripe.md → JIRA Project: PAY

2. Component-based Strategy

Configuration:

JIRA_STRATEGY=component-based
JIRA_PROJECT=MAIN
JIRA_COMPONENTS=Frontend,Backend,Mobile

Mapping Rules:

• Single project with components
• Specs mapped to components within project
• Issues organized by component

Folder Structure:

.specweave/docs/internal/specs/MAIN/
├── Frontend/
│   └── spec-001-ui.md → Component: Frontend
├── Backend/
│   └── spec-001-api.md → Component: Backend
└── Mobile/
    └── spec-001-app.md → Component: Mobile

3. Epic-based Strategy

Configuration:

JIRA_STRATEGY=epic-based
JIRA_PROJECT=PLATFORM
JIRA_BOARDS=Alpha,Beta,Gamma

Mapping Rules:

• Single project with multiple boards
• Issues assigned to boards via epics
• Boards own specific specs

Folder Structure:

.specweave/docs/internal/specs/PLATFORM/
├── Alpha/
│   └── spec-001-feature-a.md → Board: Alpha
├── Beta/
│   └── spec-001-feature-b.md → Board: Beta
└── Gamma/
    └── spec-001-feature-c.md → Board: Gamma

Project Detection Algorithm

Step 1: Analyze Spec Content

interface ProjectConfidence {
  project: string;
  confidence: number;
  reasons: string[];
}

function detectProject(spec: SpecContent): ProjectConfidence[] {
  const results: ProjectConfidence[] = [];

  for (const project of availableProjects) {
    let confidence = 0;
    const reasons: string[] = [];

    // Check title
    if (spec.title.toLowerCase().includes(project.toLowerCase())) {
      confidence += 0.5;
      reasons.push(`Title contains "${project}"`);
    }

    // Check keywords
    const keywords = getProjectKeywords(project);
    for (const keyword of keywords) {
      if (spec.content.includes(keyword)) {
        confidence += 0.2;
        reasons.push(`Found keyword "${keyword}"`);
      }
    }

    // Check file patterns
    const patterns = getProjectFilePatterns(project);
    for (const pattern of patterns) {
      if (spec.files.some(f => f.match(pattern))) {
        confidence += 0.3;
        reasons.push(`File matches pattern "${pattern}"`);
      }
    }

    results.push({ project, confidence, reasons });
  }

  return results.sort((a, b) => b.confidence - a.confidence);
}

Step 2: Project Keywords

const projectKeywords = {
  'AUTH': [
    'authentication', 'auth', 'login', 'logout', 'oauth',
    'jwt', 'session', 'password', 'credential', 'token'
  ],
  'USER': [
    'user', 'profile', 'account', 'registration', 'preferences',
    'settings', 'avatar', 'username', 'email verification'
  ],
  'PAY': [
    'payment', 'billing', 'stripe', 'paypal', 'invoice',
    'subscription', 'charge', 'refund', 'credit card'
  ],
  'NOTIFY': [
    'notification', 'email', 'sms', 'push', 'alert',
    'message', 'webhook', 'queue', 'sendgrid', 'twilio'
  ]
};

Step 3: Decision Logic

async function selectProject(spec: SpecContent): Promise<string> {
  const candidates = detectProject(spec);

  // High confidence: Auto-select
  if (candidates[0]?.confidence > 0.7) {
    console.log(`Auto-selected: ${candidates[0].project}`);
    console.log(`   Confidence: ${candidates[0].confidence}`);
    console.log(`   Reasons: ${candidates[0].reasons.join(', ')}`);
    return candidates[0].project;
  }

  // Medium confidence: Show suggestions
  if (candidates[0]?.confidence > 0.4) {
    console.log(`Suggested project: ${candidates[0].project}`);
    console.log(`   Confidence: ${candidates[0].confidence}`);

    const confirm = await prompt('Use suggested project?');
    if (confirm) {
      return candidates[0].project;
    }
  }

  // Low confidence: Manual selection
  console.log('Cannot determine project automatically');
  return await promptProjectSelection(candidates);
}

Multi-Project Sync Workflow

Export: Spec to Multiple JIRA Projects

Scenario: Checkout flow spanning 3 projects

Input:

# spec-002-checkout-flow.md
title: Implement Complete Checkout Flow
projects:
  primary: PAY
  secondary:
    - USER
    - NOTIFY

Process:

1. Create Primary Epic (PAY):

Project: PAY
Epic: [SPEC-002] Checkout Payment Processing
Description: Primary implementation of checkout flow
Labels: specweave, multi-project, primary
Custom Fields:
  - SpecWeave.SpecID: spec-002
  - SpecWeave.LinkedProjects: USER,NOTIFY

2. Create Linked Stories (USER):

Project: USER
Story: [SPEC-002] Checkout User Management
Description: User-related checkout functionality
Labels: specweave, multi-project, linked
Epic Link: PAY-123
Custom Fields:
  - SpecWeave.SpecID: spec-002
  - SpecWeave.PrimaryProject: PAY

3. Create Linked Stories (NOTIFY):

Project: NOTIFY
Story: [SPEC-002] Checkout Notifications
Description: Notification functionality for checkout
Labels: specweave, multi-project, linked
Epic Link: PAY-123

4. Create Cross-Project Links:

// Use JIRA REST API to create links
await createLink(primaryEpicId, userStoryId, 'relates to');
await createLink(primaryEpicId, notifyStoryId, 'relates to');

Import: Multiple JIRA Projects to Spec

Process:

1. Detect Multi-Project Issues:

async function detectMultiProjectSpec(issueKey: string) {
  const issue = await getIssue(issueKey);
  const linkedProjects = issue.customFields['SpecWeave.LinkedProjects'];

  if (linkedProjects) {
    // This is a multi-project spec
    return {
      primary: issue.project,
      secondary: linkedProjects.split(','),
      specId: issue.customFields['SpecWeave.SpecID']
    };
  }

  return null;
}

2. Gather Issues from All Projects:

async function gatherMultiProjectIssues(specId: string) {
  const issues = [];

  for (const project of allProjects) {
    const jql = `project = "${project}" AND "SpecWeave.SpecID" ~ "${specId}"`;
    const items = await searchJira(jql);
    issues.push(...items);
  }

  return issues;
}

3. Create Unified Spec:

async function createUnifiedSpec(issues: JiraIssue[]) {
  const primaryIssue = issues.find(i => i.labels.includes('primary'));
  const linkedIssues = issues.filter(i => i.labels.includes('linked'));

  const spec = {
    title: primaryIssue.summary,
    projects: {
      primary: primaryIssue.project,
      secondary: linkedIssues.map(i => i.project)
    },
    user_stories: mergeUserStories(issues),
    tasks: mergeTasks(issues)
  };

  return spec;
}

Component Mapping

For component-based strategy:

function mapSpecToComponent(spec: SpecContent): string {
  const components = getConfiguredComponents();

  for (const component of components) {
    if (spec.content.toLowerCase().includes(component.toLowerCase())) {
      return component;
    }
  }

  // Default component
  return defaultComponent;
}

Board Assignment

For epic-based strategy:

function assignToBoard(spec: SpecContent): string {
  const boards = getConfiguredBoards();

  // Check explicit board mention
  if (spec.frontmatter.board) {
    return spec.frontmatter.board;
  }

  // Auto-detect based on content
  const boardKeywords = {
    'Alpha': ['frontend', 'ui', 'react', 'vue'],
    'Beta': ['backend', 'api', 'database', 'postgres'],
    'Gamma': ['mobile', 'ios', 'android', 'flutter']
  };

  for (const [board, keywords] of Object.entries(boardKeywords)) {
    if (keywords.some(k => spec.content.toLowerCase().includes(k))) {
      return board;
    }
  }

  return boards[0]; // Default board
}

Conflict Resolution

Scenario: Same spec updated in multiple projects

async function resolveMultiProjectConflict(specId: string) {
  const updates = await getRecentUpdates(specId);

  if (updates.length > 1) {
    console.log('Conflict detected:');
    for (const update of updates) {
      console.log(`  ${update.project}: Updated ${update.timestamp}`);
    }

    const resolution = await prompt('Resolution strategy?', [
      'Use most recent',
      'Merge all changes',
      'Manual resolution'
    ]);

    switch (resolution) {
      case 'Use most recent':
        return updates[0]; // Already sorted by timestamp
      case 'Merge all changes':
        return mergeUpdates(updates);
      case 'Manual resolution':
        return await manualMerge(updates);
    }
  }
}

Folder Organization

Create Project Folders

async function createProjectFolders(projects: string[], strategy: string) {
  const basePath = '.specweave/docs/internal/specs';

  switch (strategy) {
    case 'project-per-team':
      for (const project of projects) {
        await fs.mkdirSync(`${basePath}/${project}`, { recursive: true });
        await createProjectReadme(project);
      }
      break;

    case 'component-based':
      const project = projects[0];
      const components = getComponents();
      for (const component of components) {
        await fs.mkdirSync(`${basePath}/${project}/${component}`, { recursive: true });
      }
      break;

    case 'epic-based':
      const proj = projects[0];
      const boards = getBoards();
      for (const board of boards) {
        await fs.mkdirSync(`${basePath}/${proj}/${board}`, { recursive: true });
      }
      break;
  }
}

Project README Template

function createProjectReadme(project: string): string {
  return `# ${project} Specifications

Error Handling

Project Not Found

async function handleProjectNotFound(projectKey: string) {
  console.error(`Project "${projectKey}" not found in JIRA`);

  const action = await prompt('What would you like to do?', [
    'Select different project',
    'Skip'
  ]);

  switch (action) {
    case 'Select different project':
      return await selectExistingProject();
    case 'Skip':
      return null;
  }
}

API Rate Limiting

async function handleRateLimit(response: Response) {
  const retryAfter = response.headers.get('Retry-After');

  if (retryAfter) {
    console.log(`Rate limited. Waiting ${retryAfter} seconds...`);
    await sleep(parseInt(retryAfter) * 1000);
    return true; // Retry
  }

  return false; // Don't retry
}

Summary
