Risk Levels

Risk Legend: - Safe, read-only | ! Caution, modifiable | !! Warning, destructive but recoverable | !!! Danger, irreversible

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Discover project context: Auto-discover project metadata, workflows, and usage patterns
• Monitor cache status: Check cache size, entry counts, and hit rates
• Clear cache data: Remove stale or sensitive cached data
• Pre-warm cache: Load commonly accessed data for better performance
• Optimize performance: Reduce API calls through effective caching
• Troubleshoot slowness: Diagnose cache-related performance issues

What This Skill Does

IMPORTANT: Always use the jira-as CLI. Never run Python scripts directly.

• Project Discovery: Discover project metadata, workflows, and patterns for intelligent defaults
• Cache Status Monitoring: Display cache statistics (size, entries, hit rates)
• Cache Clearing: Remove cache entries by category, pattern, or all at once
• Cache Warming: Pre-load project metadata and field definitions
• Request Batching: Parallel request execution for bulk operations (programmatic API)

Quick Start

# Discover project context (saves to skill directory by default)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ

# Check cache status
jira-as ops cache-status

# Clear all cache
jira-as ops cache-clear --force

# Warm cache with all metadata
jira-as ops cache-warm --all

Common Tasks (30-Second Solutions)

Check cache status

# Basic status
jira-as ops cache-status

# Output as JSON
jira-as ops cache-status --json

# Verbose output
jira-as ops cache-status --verbose

Warm the cache

# Cache project list
jira-as ops cache-warm --projects

# Cache field definitions
jira-as ops cache-warm --fields

# Cache all available metadata with verbose output
jira-as ops cache-warm --all --verbose

Clear cache

# Clear all cache (with confirmation)
jira-as ops cache-clear

# Clear all cache (skip confirmation)
jira-as ops cache-clear --force

# Clear only issue cache
jira-as ops cache-clear --category issue --force

# Preview what would be cleared
jira-as ops cache-clear --dry-run

# Clear keys matching pattern
jira-as ops cache-clear --pattern "PROJ-*" --category issue --force

Discover project context

# Discover and save to skill directory (default)
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ

# Save to settings.local.json for personal use
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ --personal

# Save to both locations
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ --both

# Output JSON without saving
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ --output json --no-save

# Custom sample size and period
jira-as ops discover-project PROJ --sample-size 200 --days 60
