jira-commands

Manage links between Jira issues using jirac.

Steps:

1. Check that jirac is available by running jirac --version. If missing, tell the user to install it (cargo install jira-commands).
2. Determine the operation from the user's request:
   • List link types: jirac issue link list-types
   • Add link: needs link type (e.g. Blocks, Relates, Duplicates), outward key (source), inward key (target).
   • Delete link: needs the link ID (obtain it from jirac issue view <KEY>).
3. For unfamiliar link type names, run jirac issue link list-types first.
4. Run the appropriate command and report the resulting link.

Notes:

• The outward issue is the "source" of the link (the blocker, the duplicate). The inward issue is the "target" (the blocked, the original).
• Common link type names: Blocks, Relates, Duplicates, Clones, Cloners. Casing matters — match what list-types returns.
• Adding the same link twice is allowed by Jira and produces duplicate entries — check existing links via jirac issue view <KEY> before adding.

Examples:

• "what link types are available" → jirac issue link list-types
• "PROJ-1 blocks PROJ-2" → jirac issue link add --link-type Blocks PROJ-1 PROJ-2
• "PROJ-3 is related to PROJ-4" → jirac issue link add --link-type Relates PROJ-3 PROJ-4
• "PROJ-5 duplicates PROJ-6" → jirac issue link add --link-type Duplicates PROJ-5 PROJ-6
• "add a comment when linking" → jirac issue link add --link-type Blocks --comment 'blocked by infra change' PROJ-1 PROJ-2
• "delete link 10042" → jirac issue link delete 10042
