Make your Jira board match the code in GitHub
For project managers who want Done issues with no code and stalled work found, by asking their AI assistant.
On this page
Connector
Connect Jira, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
The Jira board says one thing and the code says another
Jira says an issue is Done but no code references it, or it is To Do while commits pile up, or it has sat In Progress with no commits for weeks. Spotting these means comparing every issue with the GitHub log by hand.
Without PopdockAI
- List recently updated Jira issues
- Search the commit log for each key
- Watch for partial key matches
- Decide by hand which statuses are wrong
With PopdockAI
- Recent Jira issues and GitHub commits are read in one pass
- Keys are matched exactly, so ABC-12 never matches ABC-123
- Issues are classed by what their status means
- Truncated lists are flagged and changes are suggested, never made
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** For Jira project `{project-key}`, compare each issue updated in the last `{lookback-days}` days (default 30) with the GitHub commits in repository `{repository}` (if blank, use the connector's default repository) and report where Jira's status disagrees with the code.
**Step 1: Read the Jira side**
Call `jira-get-issue` with `project-key` set to `{project-key}`, `updated.from` set to today minus `{lookback-days}` days, and `max-records` 200. If nothing comes back, report that no issues were updated in that window and stop.
**Step 2: Read the GitHub side once**
Call `github-get-commit` with `commit-date.from` set to the same date and `max-records` 500 (pass `company` = `{repository}` when given). Do not call it once per issue.
**Step 3: Match**
For each Jira issue, find the commits whose message contains its `issue-key` exactly (uppercase project key, hyphen, number; `ABC-12` must not match `ABC-123`).
Classify each issue:
* **Done, no commits:** status is Done (or another closed status) but no commit references it.
* **Not started, has commits:** status is To Do (or another not-started status) but commits reference it.
* **Stalled:** status is In Progress but its newest commit is more than 7 days old, or it has no commits.
* **Consistent:** everything else.
Jira status names vary by site. Classify by meaning, and list any status you could not place.
**Step 4: Report**
A table per class except Consistent: issue-key, summary, status, assignee, commit count, newest commit date. End with the Consistent count and the number of commits in the window that referenced no issue in this project.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `jira-get-issue` is on the jira server; `github-get-commit` is on the github server.
* This prompt is read-only. Do NOT call `jira-update-issue`, `jira-assign-issue` or `jira-add-issue-comment`. Suggest status changes in the report instead of making them.
**Validation:**
* If `github-get-commit` returns exactly `max-records` rows, say the commit list may be truncated and the Done, no commits class may contain false positives.
* If the commits carry no Jira keys at all, say the team may not reference keys in commit messages, and do not present the Done, no commits class as a defect.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Project managers
Fix the board before stand up
See Done issues with no commits and To Do issues with work already in progress.
Compare the MOB project in Jira with commits in contoso/mobile over the last 14 days.
Scrum masters
Find work stalled in progress
Issues in progress with no recent commits are called out for the next stand up.
Which In Progress issues in WEB have no commits in contoso/web in the last 21 days?
Engineering managers
Trust sprint reporting
Mislabelled statuses are found, so velocity and burndown reflect real work.
Where does Jira status disagree with the code in fabrikam/api for the API project this month?
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You name the Jira project, repository and lookback, and your AI assistant compares issue status with commit history. You get suggested changes, and nothing is changed.
01
Ask
You name the Jira project, the repository and a lookback period.
02
Read
It reads recently updated Jira issues and the GitHub commits in that window.
03
Match
It matches keys exactly and classes each issue by its status meaning.
04
Report
You get mismatches with suggested status changes, never made.
