🖥️ Interactive view
The terminal board behind bare jira, with tabs, search and in-place writes.
Run jira with no arguments in a terminal to open your issues as a board. Piped or redirected, bare jira prints help instead. Ink is loaded only for this view, so jira issue list | grep never pays for it.
Tabs
By default the tabs are Jira's three status categories, To do, In progress and Done, so it works on any instance. Pass --board <id>, or set defaultBoard in the config file, and the tabs become that board's columns, matched by status id. Statuses no column claims land on an Off board tab. Hand-written tabs in the config win over both.
Rows hang under their epic and carry a type pill, a priority glyph and how long since the issue last moved. Closed work from the last fortnight is on Done; a loads everything.

Search
Plain words narrow the list as you type and, on enter, run as text ~ "…" within your issues, so comment matches count. Anything shaped like JQL (status = Done, ORDER BY …) is sent as-is and replaces the scope. The tag at the end of the line says which reading was used, and ⇥ flips it. A query Jira rejects shows Jira's message and keeps your text. esc clears the search.
Inside an issue
Description, comments and attachments render as Markdown in one scrolling view, with attachments listed against the comment or description they came from. Press t to transition, c to comment, a to assign to yourself and o to open the browser. Writes ask before they act.
