Building Multi-Project JIRA Support with Claude Code

Context-Driven Development Experiment 3: Building Multi-Project JIRA Support with Claude Code

In this week's experiment, I use Claude Code to implement a new feature in imdone-cli (https://imdone.io) that lets developers select which JIRA project to add issues to. This is especially useful when working with multiple teams - like when you need to create tickets for your infrastructure team in addition to your main project.

Watch as I demonstrate the full development workflow: from defining requirements in markdown, to AI-assisted TDD implementation, through testing and debugging. You'll see both the successes and challenges of using Claude Code for real-world feature development.

KEY TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Introduction to weekly CDD experiments
00:23 - Starting with Claude Code and defining the task
03:02 - Setting up the context and files
06:02 - Claude Code begins TDD implementation
09:05 - First test runs and debugging
14:00 - Code review: how Claude implemented the feature
18:38 - All tests passing!
19:00 - Building and linking for manual testing
20:10 - Live demo: selecting projects with the new feature
21:56 - Success! Creating issues in different projects
23:51 - Discovering edge case with sprint selection
27:00 - Running into credit limits (real challenges)
28:00 - Reflection and next steps

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
How to structure AI coding tasks using context-driven development
Practical TDD workflow with Claude Code
Managing multiple JIRA projects in imdone-cli
Real-world challenges and solutions when using AI coding assistants
How to keep your backlog in source code for better context

TOOLS FEATURED:
Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI)
imdone-cli (backlog management in source code)
JIRA integration
Test-driven development
Node.js development workflow

WHY MULTIPLE PROJECTS MATTER:
On my team, we constantly need to open tickets for the infrastructure team in addition to our main project work. This feature eliminates the friction of manually switching project configurations, making cross-team collaboration smoother.

RESOURCES:
imdone-cli on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/imdone-cli
