# Ensure YouTrack Issue ## Steps ### 1. Determine intent | Signal | Action | |---|---| | User provides ticket ID (`DBA-123`, `123`, or URL) | Validate (step 2) | | User asks to create a ticket | Draft (step 3) | | No ticket mentioned | Ask: "Do you have a YouTrack ticket?" | ### 2. Validate Fetch with `get_issue`. If found, confirm with user it matches the work. If not found, offer to create (step 3). ### 3. Draft From conversation context, propose: - **Summary**: imperative one-line title - **Description**: 2-4 sentences - **Type**: Bug / Task / Feature (default: Task) Ask user to approve, edit, or reject. > **Autosteer exception**: create immediately without approval. ### 4. Create Use `create_issue` in **DBA** project. Report created issue ID. ### 5. Move to Develop Set `State` to **Develop** via `update_issue`. ## Guardrails - Never create without user approval of summary/description/type (except in autosteer mode). - Always validate when user provides an existing ID. - If YouTrack MCP unavailable, refer to `DEVELOPMENT.md`. - Default to **DBA** project. Accept `DBA-XXX`, bare numbers, or URLs. - Respect user declining to create a ticket.
