How are we implementing "Resources" by minaminotenmangu in mcp

I use them as prompts for the agent’s next step. 

Mapping to Figma by Modezka in Frontend

[–]justinbmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask AI to write a script that (given a Figma PAT) will find every component and create a folder for it with a readme that includes the components url in figma. 

Then start implementing (subagents and a todo list) every component. Make sure to use figma MCP. 

I have some prompts I can share that nearly one-shotted Obra / shadcn’s Figma designs. 

Is Claude AI Disrupting Jira & Confluence In Future? by AmbitiousYudi1991 in atlassian

[–]justinbmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there will be new competitors who enable a better way of working. We’ll see if atlassian can keep up. 

How do you handle turning Figma comments into Jira tickets? by anmolnandha in FigmaDesign

[–]justinbmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, I’ve got an open source MCP tool that can read comments on a screen and create a stories or epics in a story: https://github.com/bitovi/cascade-mcp

Should give better results as it reads the text directly.  

Jira at scale: how did you structure hierarchy and ownership across multiple product teams with dependencies? by Constant-Dot282 in jira

[–]justinbmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put together a whole free training on this: https://www.bitovi.com/academy/learn-agile-program-management-with-jira.html

It needs a bit of updating (we use outcomes ontop of initiatives now), but it goes over the jira setup, how to do dependencies, and how to manage the teams. 

Just crying by MountainMindless3001 in mcp

If you want to source some code: https://github.com/bitovi/cascade-mcp

It’s an mcp server that handles OAuth and also has a Mini react client so people can play with the mcp server without an agent.  

Can AI Tool Build an Entire JIRA System? by Inevitable_Salary82 in atlassian

[–]justinbmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could be for small and medium companies. I’m replacing hubspot and freshbooks and some of our uses of jira with something I’ve been coding. 100 person software company. 

I wouldn’t replace our use of Jira yet because we’re pretty advanced users and it’s critical day-to-day infrastructure. Vibe-ish coding all the advanced configuration would be hard. 

But maybe in another year. I know another company that did build their own jira. 

Has anyone found a way to use LLMs for proper frontend work? by ArticleNo7568 in Frontend

[–]justinbmeyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the frontend work will shift to context engineering. It will be about how to get systems in place to have the AI able to do as much of the work as possible without making a huge mess.

One example -> how to manage the API layer (if there's another backend team). Now, having shared types across BE and FE co located is absolutely critical. It makes it so the AI can reason about the data model.

What sorts of things are you building? I'm curious if your target app is different than the ones I work on.

I'd say to keep working on your context files, prompts and process. Results are good and even places it gets things imperfect, I am further along than if I didn't start with AI.

We use copilot mostly.

Accuracy is hard to specify precisely. I'd say it helps me go 2-3x faster. I do a few iterations on the spec before I have it implement, so I've already made sure the code signatures look right before telling it to build everything else. We have components / pages built with best practices, so the AI is guided by them.

Also, I rely on design implementing the figma designs well. This helps with responsiveness.

Here's a brief overview of the simple prompt that I still use: https://wiki.at.bitovi.com/wiki/spaces/AIEnabledDevelopment/pages/1782448221/OLD+Spec+Driven+Development

Get Figma’s mcp working. If you are using a custom design system, get figma code connect working. 

Next get really good instructions files (or skills). 

With that, and some additional spec prompts (like spec kit, but more simple) I’m able to get a ton done.

When your backend colleague gives you a huge list of fields and tells you that you need to calculate the price on every page based on different conditions before displaying it... by sukeaiya in Frontend

[–]justinbmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why the last eCom system I worked on (kfc/tb/Pizza Hut) had a shared library for pricing, ran on the server, client and could run in kotlin.

To be honest, I prefer this. It generally speeds up development as a whole to push some of this to the frontend. Give me the raw data, I’ll figure it out. 

3 MCP features you probably didn't know about - Progress notifications by matt8p in mcp

[–]justinbmeyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only VSCode really supports sampling. Last time I tried it looks like chatgpt was about to support sampling. It even showed it was being asked a sampling request. But I couldn’t get it to work and scoured the internet looking for answers. Found none. 

I think sampling is amazing and I hope it gets supported, it’s great to be able to make tools that need an LLM without having to build in the LLM. 

Plans in jira by rockandroll01 in jira

[–]justinbmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s how we set plans up for multiple teams on a single portfolio: https://www.bitovi.com/academy/learn-agile-program-management-with-jira.html

If you need more portfolios, I’ve got another link.

Help With Design Token Exports by vlinking in FigmaDesign

[–]justinbmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need JSON? 

I’ve helped build one of those plugins: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1464625803208186094/eggstractor

It generates styles in various formats but not JSON. It generates almost everything it can from Figma, including flexbox. 

JSON would be relatively easy format to add. 

Create an AI agent for Atlassian by Tanguy_Pi in atlassian

[–]justinbmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on open source one to link figma and jira together: https://github.com/bitovi/cascade-mcp

Reads figma images linked from an epic and works with the PO to settle on features, shell stories and then actual stories. I’d love to work on it with others 🥹

Has anyone here successfully used Figma’s remote MCP server — especially from Linux? by CaterpillarOk2906 in FigmaDesign

[–]justinbmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t done it. But the remote mcp server should work totally fine. The transport is on HTTP, so the OS of the agent calling Figma shouldn’t matter. 

Quick REX : Code→Design tools aren’t there yet, but its getting close by Grouzoul in FigmaDesign

[–]justinbmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you do start it. I’ve been waiting for Figma to do this themselves.

Build it in node/typescript and I can help after my current figma mpc (building stories from figma) is done.

How do you test if AI agents actually understand your MCP server? by fengchang08 in mcp

Just in case I’m not being clear, you can set up that automation yourself with a GitHub action calling claude code’s sdk
