Get Issue Command

Purpose

Retrieve issue details from the configured issue tracking system for a given issue key. 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: Path to state management file (required)

Workflow Steps

1. Read Settings from State Management File:

   • Read the Settings section from the state management file ($2)
   • Extract issueTrackingProvider value
   • If Settings section is missing or issueTrackingProvider is not set, 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"
   • If issueTrackingProvider is "prompt":
     • Log error: "get-issue should not be called for prompt provider"
     • Skip to step 4

3. Execute Get Issue Operation:

   Based on the issueTrackingProvider value from the state management file:

   For Linear Provider ("linear")

   • Use linear:get_issue with $1 (issue key)
   • Retrieve issue key, ID, title, and description

   For Jira Provider ("jira")

   • Use jira:get_issue with $1 (issue key)
   • Retrieve issue key, ID, title, and description

4. Output Results: Display the issue information in this format:

   • Key: $1
   • ID: Issue ID
   • Title: Issue title
   • Description: Issue description

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