Search Jira Tickets

Search for Jira tickets using JQL (Jira Query Language).

When to Use

• User asks "what are my tickets?" or "find tickets about X"
• User wants to search for issues by keyword, status, or assignee
• User needs to query the backlog or sprint
• User wants to find related issues

How to Execute

Run:

aide jira search "JQL query" [maxResults] [--format text|json|markdown]

Flags

Flag	Description
maxResults	Maximum results to return (positional, default: 50)
--limit	Alias for maxResults
--sprint-board	Board ID to auto-resolve active sprint and prepend to JQL
--format	Output format: text, json, markdown

Common JQL Patterns

Personal Queries

# My open tickets
aide jira search "assignee = currentUser() AND status != Closed"

# My in-progress work
aide jira search "assignee = currentUser() AND status = 'In Progress'"

# Tickets I'm watching
aide jira search "watcher = currentUser()"

# Tickets I reported
aide jira search "reporter = currentUser()"

Project Queries

# All open bugs in project
aide jira search "project = PROJ AND issuetype = Bug AND status != Closed"

# High priority unassigned
aide jira search "project = PROJ AND priority = High AND assignee IS EMPTY"

# Sprint tickets
aide jira search "project = PROJ AND sprint in openSprints()"

# Specific component
aide jira search "project = PROJ AND component = 'API'"

Time-Based Queries

# Recent bugs (last 7 days)
aide jira search "issuetype = Bug AND created >= -7d"

# Updated this week
aide jira search "updated >= startOfWeek()"

# Resolved this month
aide jira search "resolved >= startOfMonth()"

Sprint Queries

# Search within active sprint (auto-resolves sprint ID from board)
aide jira search "assignee = currentUser()" --sprint-board 123

# All issues in active sprint
aide jira search "status != Closed" --sprint-board 123

Text Search

# Search by keyword in all text fields
aide jira search "text ~ 'authentication'"

# Search in summary only
aide jira search "summary ~ 'login bug'"

# Combine with filters
aide jira search "project = PROJ AND text ~ 'performance' AND priority = High"

Output Includes

1. Ticket key (e.g., PROJ-123)
2. Summary/title
3. Status
4. Assignee
5. Priority
