I Built Jira for AI Agents - Here's why your AI Coding Assistant needs its own project management

Generative AI AI Tools

Think about it. Your AI agent refactors code across 12 files, makes architectural decisions, tries three approaches before settling on one, and fixes a subtle race condition. Then it commits with the message "fix bug" and all that context is gone forever. We'd never accept this from a human developer. Why do we accept it from the tool that's increasingly writing most of our code? AI agents need their own project management I'm not talking about giving Claude a Jira API key. I'm talking about project management that's native to how agents work: plain files, git commits, and context windows.
