The problem

The service desk keeps chasing developers for updates

Once an incident is escalated to Jira, the service desk keeps asking development for updates because ServiceNow shows nothing of the Jira work. Developers do not update both systems, so callers get stale answers.

Without PopdockAI

  • Ask development for an update
  • Or open Jira and find the issue
  • Read status, comments and subtasks
  • Retype a work note into ServiceNow

With PopdockAI

  • The Jira issue carrying the record number is found
  • Status, assignee, due date, comments and open subtasks are read
  • A short work note is drafted for you to check
  • It is added once on your yes, and the record's state is never changed

The prompt

Prompt
**Objective:** Read the Jira issue linked to ServiceNow record `{record-number}` and add one work note to that record summarising the dev progress. Write nothing until the user confirms.

**Step 1: Read the ServiceNow record**

If `{record-number}` starts with INC, call `servicenow-get-incident` filtered by `number`; if it starts with PRB, call `servicenow-get-problem` filtered by `number`. Otherwise say this prompt handles incidents and problems only, and stop. If nothing comes back, say so and stop. Keep its `sys-id` and state.

**Step 2: Find the linked Jira issue**

The link between the two systems is the ServiceNow number in the Jira summary, written as `[INC0010023]`. Call `jira-get-issue` with `summary.contains` set to `{record-number}`. If nothing comes back, say the record has not been escalated, suggest the `escalate-to-jira` prompt, and stop. If several come back, summarise each.

**Step 3: Gather progress**

For each issue, keep its key, status, assignee, due date and updated date. Call `jira-get-issue-comment` (pass the issue key as `issue-id`) and keep the latest two comments. Call `jira-get-issue-subtask` filtered by `outward-issue-key` set to the issue key and count open subtasks.

**Step 4: Confirm**

Draft the work note: "Jira <key>: <status>, assigned to <assignee>, due <due date>, <n> open subtasks. Latest update <date>: <comment summary>." Show it to the user and ask for confirmation. If the Jira issue is Done and the ServiceNow record is open, say so, but do not change the record's state.

**Step 5: Write once**

Call `servicenow-update-incident` (INC) or `servicenow-update-problem` (PRB) with the record's `sys-id` and the confirmed text as `work-notes`. Report that the note was added.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* `servicenow-get-incident`, `servicenow-get-problem`, `servicenow-update-incident` and `servicenow-update-problem` are on the servicenow server. `jira-get-issue`, `jira-get-issue-comment` and `jira-get-issue-subtask` are on the jira server.
* Only pass `sys-id` and `work-notes` on the update; never change state, priority or assignment.
* Do not call any Jira write tool, including `jira-update-issue` and `jira-add-issue-comment`.

**Validation:**

* If `jira-get-issue-comment` rejects the key as `issue-id`, read the numeric id with `jira-get-issue-watcher` filtered by `issue-key`; if that finds nothing, write the note without comments.
* Keep the work note under 1000 characters; summarise comments rather than copying them.
