Create Issue Comment Command

Purpose

Add a comment to an issue in the configured issue tracking system. This command is called by other orchestrating commands, and is one of the steps in a larger workflow. You MUST follow all workflow steps below, not skipping any step and doing all steps in order.

Arguments

• $1: Issue key (required)
• $2: Comment text (required)
• $3: Path to state management file (required)

Workflow Steps

1. Read Settings from State Management File:

   • Read the Settings section from the state management file ($3)
   • Extract issueTrackingProvider and silentMode values
   • If Settings section is missing, fail with error: "Settings not found in state management file. Run /read-settings first."

2. Validate Provider Configuration:

   • If issueTrackingProvider is "linear":
     • Check that Linear MCP tools are available
     • If NOT available: FAIL with error: "Provider is 'linear' but Linear MCP tools are not configured. Please configure Linear MCP or update settings with /read-settings --provider=prompt"
   • If issueTrackingProvider is "jira":
     • Check that Jira MCP tools are available
     • If NOT available: FAIL with error: "Provider is 'jira' but Jira MCP tools are not configured. Please configure Jira MCP or update settings with /read-settings --provider=prompt"

3. Check Silent Mode or Prompt Issue Provider:

   • If silentMode is true OR issueTrackingProvider is "prompt":
     • Log the comment operation locally: "Silent mode: Would have added comment to $1: $2"
     • Skip the actual API call (step 4)
     • Continue to step 5

4. Execute Create Comment Operation (only if silentMode is false and issueTrackingProvider is not "prompt"):

For Linear Provider ("linear")

• Use linear:create_comment with $1 (issue ID) and $2 (comment text)
• Add the comment to the specified issue

For Jira Provider ("jira")

• Use jira:add_comment_to_issue with $1 (issue key) and $2 (comment text)
• Add the comment to the specified issue

5. Output Results: Display confirmation of the comment creation:

   • Issue: $1
   • Comment Added: $2
   • Result: Success/Failure (or "Skipped - Silent Mode" if applicable)

6. Error Handling: If the issue operation fails, log the error but continue gracefully
