Jira Assistant

🌌 JIRA ASSISTANT: The Ultimate Agile Workspace & Developer Productivity Companion ✅ SUPPORTED: Jira Cloud (*.atlassian.net, *.jira.com). Jira Server / Data Center is not supported yet — most features use Jira Cloud's REST API v3, which self-hosted Jira does not provide. 🔐 PERMISSIONS: Host access to *.atlassian.net and *.jira.com only — no access to any other site. "tabs" and "scripting" are used only on tabs whose URL is a Jira site, to send requests through your signed-in Jira session. Plus "storage", "notifications" and "alarms" for local settings and reminders. No cookies, history, downloads or file-system permission. An optional all-sites permission exists only for connecting a self-hosted domain, and is requested for that one domain, after you approve it, if you choose to. Stop letting administrative friction drain your focus. Say goodbye to manual time tracking, tedious JQL syntax, copy-pasting branch names, and guessing what's blocking your sprint. Jira Assistant is a premium, lightweight Chrome extension that turns your browser into a high-performance productivity dashboard. Designed specifically for software engineers, scrum masters, product managers, and agile developers, this tool bridges the gap between your browser tabs, your terminal, and Atlassian Jira. It works with Jira Cloud out of the box, with nothing to configure. It automates your daily administrative tasks so you can focus on writing code and building products. --- 🤔 THE PROBLEM: THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST OF BEING A DEVELOPER As a developer, context switching is your greatest productivity killer. Every single day, you are forced to: 1. Spend valuable minutes manually logging hours in clunky, slow Atlassian Jira menus. 2. Manually copy issue titles, strip out special characters, replace spaces with hyphens, and construct Git branch names and commit messages. 3. Hunt down unassigned, unestimated, or stale tickets across giant, visual Kanban boards. 4. Manually run repeated, complex JQL queries to see what's assigned to you or blocked. 5. Track your time on scratchpads or random stopwatch apps, only to manually transcribe them later. 6. Rebuild a whole month of missing worklogs by hand after a busy sprint. These tiny micro-tasks create cognitive friction, lead to inaccurate data, and add up to real time lost every week. Jira Assistant eliminates this overhead entirely. --- 💡 WHAT JIRA ASSISTANT DOES (Deep-Dive Features) Jira Assistant brings a sleek, developer-centric dashboard into a single popup window, working directly alongside your active Jira pages. Here is exactly what it does: 📅 1. Interactive Worklog Calendar & Compliance Analytics Keeping your time logs accurate and compliant doesn't have to be a chore. • Color-Coded Time Compliance: Instantly visualizes your weekly and monthly worklog history against standard work hours (e.g., a default 5-hour active target). Days are color-coded in real-time—Red (Below Target), Green (Target Met), and Blue (Superb Adherence)—giving you an immediate health check of your logs. • Configurable Working Days: Customize which days of the week are active working days (e.g., Monday through Friday) via a workday picker in the calendar header, which dynamically adjusts weekend highlights and compliance analytics. • Collapsible Quick Log Form: Log hours instantly without loading heavy Jira pages. Set the start time for the entry, write your comment in Markdown, and preview it rendered before you submit. • Aggregated Analytics & Period Selector: Visualize detailed time statistics—including logged hours, daily averages, and a project/ticket breakdown—and filter insights across custom periods (Monthly, Quarterly, Half Yearly, or Yearly). ✏️ 2. Full Worklog Control: Edit, Delete, Copy & Bulk Import Logging time is only half the job — fixing it afterwards is where other tools send you back to Jira. • Edit Any Entry: Hover a logged entry in the day panel and hit ✏️ to correct its duration, start time, or comment in place. The quick-log form reopens pre-filled, with the issue key locked (Jira itself cannot move a worklog between issues). • Delete With Confirmation: 🗑️ removes an entry you logged by mistake, after an explicit confirmation. • Drag to Copy: Forgot to log the same stand-up or support rotation on three days? Drag the entry from the day panel onto any other calendar day to duplicate it there — same issue, duration and comment, confirmed before anything reaches Jira. • Bulk CSV Import: Rebuild an entire month in one pass. Point 📤 Import at a CSV with Issue Key, Date and Time Spent columns (Comment and Start Time optional; common header aliases like Key, Started and Duration accepted in any column order). Every row is validated BEFORE anything is uploaded, a review dialog shows exactly how many worklogs and how many hours are about to be logged, and unusable rows are listed with their file line number instead of being silently dropped. Uploads run sequentially, and one failed row never abandons the rest. • CSV Export & Monthly Reports: 📥 export a single day, or generate a full monthly report with your per-day breakdown, leave and holiday markings, and per-issue and per-project totals — ready for timesheets, invoicing, or a manager who wants a spreadsheet. 📋 3. Interactive Kanban & Personal Task Boards Manage your sprint work directly inside the extension popup without switching tabs. • Dual Sub-Tabs: Easily toggle between "My Assigned Items" to focus on your own tasks, and the "Sprint / Kanban Board" to see the active sprint. • Live Status Transitions: Move issues through your workflow (e.g., transition from "In Progress" to "Done") using a clean dropdown directly on the issue cards. • Quick Stopwatch Integration: Start tracking time on any assigned issue card with a single click. • Project & Sprint Filtering: Narrow down your board view to specific Jira projects or view all active sprints/projects. ⏱️ 4.
