Shared Claude Code workflow for Quber projects (Jira + GitHub automation)

Quber Workflow

Shared Claude Code workflow for Quber projects with Jira and GitHub automation.

What is Quber Workflow?

quber-workflow provides a standardized Claude Code workflow system for managing development workflows across Quber projects. It integrates Jira issue tracking with GitHub's pull request workflow through Claude Code agents and skills, with built-in LangSmith tracing for cost accountability.

Key Features

• Jinja2 Template System - All managed files rendered from templates with project-specific config
• Automated Jira Management - Agents handle issue creation, updates, and transitions
• GitHub PR Automation - Streamlined pull request creation and management
• LangSmith Tracing - Full token usage tracking for main agents and subagents
• Agent Teams Support - Experimental multi-agent coordination with subagent tracing
• Deny-by-Default Security - Enforces proper agent delegation and permissions
• Quality Standards - Built-in PR evidence requirements and workflow specs
• Lightweight - 95%+ reduction in context usage vs MCP servers

Installation

pip install quber-workflow

Or using uv:

uv pip install quber-workflow

Quick Start

1. Initialize a New Project

Navigate to your project directory and run:

quber-workflow init \
  --project my-project \
  --repo username/my-project \
  --jira-prefix PROJ \
  --jira-label my-project \
  --jira-url https://yoursite.atlassian.net

Or use interactive mode (prompts for missing values):

quber-workflow init

Or use a YAML config file:

quber-workflow init --config workflow.yaml

This creates:

CLAUDE.md                      # Agent delegation rules
.env.example                   # Environment variable template

2. Configure Environment Variables

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your credentials:

# GitHub CLI authentication
GH_TOKEN=ghp_...

# Jira REST API authentication
ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL=[e-mail]
ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
ATLASSIAN_SITE_NAME=https://yoursite.atlassian.net

# LangSmith tracing (enabled by default)
TRACE_TO_LANGSMITH=true
LANGSMITH_API_KEY=lsv2_pt_...
CC_LANGSMITH_PROJECT=my-project
CC_LANGSMITH_RUN_NAME=my-project

3. Configure GitHub Secrets

For the Jira transition workflow, add these repository secrets:

• JIRA_BASE_URL - Your Jira instance URL (e.g., https://yoursite.atlassian.net)
• JIRA_USER_EMAIL - Your Jira account email
• JIRA_API_TOKEN - Jira API token

Init Options

Flag	Default	Description
--project	Current directory name	Project name
--repo	(required)	GitHub repo (owner/repo)
--jira-prefix	QUE	Jira project prefix for issue keys
--jira-label	Same as project	Label auto-applied to Jira issues
--jira-url	(required)	Jira instance URL
--no-epic-manager	Enabled	Disable epic-manager agent
--no-langsmith	Enabled	Disable LangSmith tracing hooks
--no-agent-teams	Enabled	Disable experimental agent teams
--enable-logfire	Disabled	Enable Pydantic Logfire observability
--config	—	YAML config file (overrides all flags)

Usage

Update Workflow Files

Update to the latest workflow templates:

quber-workflow update

This re-renders templates from saved config while preserving your customizations.

Migrate from Manual Setup

If you previously set up workflows manually, migrate to the managed version:

quber-workflow migrate

This creates backups before migrating your existing setup.

Clean Git Exclusions

Remove workflow entries from .git/info/exclude:

quber-workflow clean

LangSmith Tracing

When enabled (default), every Claude Code response and subagent invocation is traced to LangSmith with full token usage data:

• Main session traces — Stop hook processes the session transcript
• Subagent traces — SubagentStop hook processes each subagent's transcript independently
• Run naming — Main session: {project}, Subagents: {project}({agent_type}) (e.g., quber-analyst(Explore))
• Parent linking — Subagent traces include parent_session_id in metadata

Why This Approach?

Minimal Context Usage

• Skills: ~100 tokens when loaded on-demand
• MCP Servers: ~46,000 tokens loaded upfront
• Result: 99%+ reduction in context overhead

Full Control

• All scripts visible in your repository
• Easy to audit, modify, and test
• No black-box dependencies

Cost Accountability

• Every LLM call (main + subagent) traced with token counts
• Per-project visibility in LangSmith dashboard
• Cache usage tracking (read + creation)

Requirements

Runtime

• Python 3.9+
• Claude Code CLI
• gh CLI (GitHub operations)
• jq (JSON parsing in hook and skill scripts)
• curl (Jira REST API, LangSmith API)
• uuidgen (LangSmith trace ID generation)

Development

See CONTRIBUTING.md for development setup.
