DevWorkWire documentation

Prepared work.
Ready for Jira.

Bring your Epic and Stories in Markdown. Use dwire to validate, preview, and import them from your terminal or through a terminal-capable AI agent.

A local CLI for already refined work. Jira is the current provider.

What you can do today​

Preview without Jira writes

Validate your Markdown and inspect create, skip, and unresolved items locally with preview-folder.

Resume with a local record

Imports record created Jira keys beside your Markdown. Keep the resume file so re-runs can skip recorded items; changed uploaded items are not updated.

One CLI for people and agents

Use dwire directly, or let a terminal-capable agent use the same commands through a portable skill. Direct commands support JSON output.

From folder to backlog

Inspect the work before you import it​

  1. Prepare your folder. Keep one Epic in epic.md and optional Stories in stories.md.
  2. Preview locally. Check validation results and see what will be created or skipped, without writing to Jira.
  3. Import and keep the state. Review the import preview and confirm in your terminal. Keep .devworkwire-import.json with the folder for resumable re-runs.
With dwire installed and Jira configured
dwire preview-folder ./work-items/my-epic
dwire import-folder ./work-items/my-epic

Direct create commands write immediately. Non-interactive imports require --yes when there is work to create.
