Auto-nudge stale Jira issues for updates
Build a scheduled workflow that runs a JQL query for issues not updated in N days in the chosen projects/statuses. For each, add a comment mentioning the assignee asking for a status update. Avoid re-nudging the same issue too frequently by checking for a prior automated comment within a window, paginate results, and retry API errors. Output the list of issues commented on.
What this prompt builds
Comment on Jira issues that have gone quiet to prompt assignees for an update.
The problem
Issues stall silently in Jira when assignees forget them, and backlogs fill with stale tickets that distort reporting. Manually hunting for inactive issues is a chore nobody does.
Solution and impact
This workflow finds Jira issues untouched for a configurable period and posts a comment requesting an update. Boards stay current and assignees get a gentle, automatic prompt without a manager policing the queue.
