Jira items drawer

Jira sits next to GitHub and Linear in the task drawer. Browse Jira Cloud issues, update them, and create a worktree from any issue without leaving Orca.

Connect a Jira site

1. Open the Tasks sidebar entry and pick Jira from the source picker — Jira sits next to GitHub and Linear by default, even before any credentials are saved.
2. Click Connect Jira. The Connect Jira site dialog appears.
3. Fill in the three fields:
   • Jira Cloud site URL — e.g. https://example.atlassian.net.
   • Atlassian email — the address on your Atlassian account.
   • Atlassian API token — create one at id.atlassian.com → Security → API tokens.
4. Click Connect. Orca verifies the credentials and loads your sites.

You can connect more than one Atlassian site. The Tasks header has a site picker once a site is connected; choose All sites to combine issues across them.

If you don't use Jira at all, hide it from the source picker via Settings → Tasks.

Using Jira

• The task drawer shows GitHub, Linear, and Jira issues in a unified list once each source is enabled.
• Open an issue to see the full description, comments, and metadata in a side drawer. Edit status (via available transitions), priority, assignee, and custom fields inline.
• Add a comment from the drawer's comment composer.
• Creating a worktree from a Jira issue pre-fills the task name and links the worktree to the issue, so the review and the issue stay tied together.
• Orca remembers your last-used task source per repo, so a Jira-driven repo defaults to Jira on next open.

Next steps

• Linear items drawer — same flow against Linear.
• Hosted reviews, issues & Actions — hand off the worktree to a hosted review once the Jira issue is in progress.
• Commit & push from Orca — ship the branch without leaving Orca.
