Intake Pile

The intake pile is a lightweight capture layer for bugs and ideas. File something in seconds; Jig’s AI triage matches it to the right spec in the background.

Bugs vs ideas

Type	When to use
bug	Something is broken or behaving unexpectedly
idea	A feature suggestion or improvement thought

Both types go into the same pile and appear in jig findings. The type affects triage priority: bugs are surfaced before ideas and are more likely to be promoted to tasks.

Capture channels

CLI

# File a bug
jig bug "Login button does nothing when clicked on mobile"

# File an idea
jig idea "Let users pin their most-used specs to the top of the list"

MCP (from Claude)

When you describe a bug or idea in conversation, Claude can file it immediately:

User: Oh, I just noticed the sidebar doesn't close after you navigate.
Claude: [calls file_bug with content and conversation context]
       Filed bug #bug-3a9f. Triage running in background.

Triage

After a finding is filed, Jig runs AI triage asynchronously:

1. Reads the finding description
2. Compares against existing spec intents and file scopes
3. Suggests the most relevant spec
4. Assigns a severity (bugs only: low / medium / high)
5. Updates the finding status from new to triaged

Triage results appear when you run jig findings.

Reviewing findings

# List all active findings
jig findings

# Filter to bugs only
jig findings --bugs

# Filter to ideas only
jig findings --ideas

Example output:

[bug] #bug-3a9f  sidebar-navigation  high
  Sidebar doesn't close after navigation on mobile
  Suggested spec: dashboard-ui

[idea] #idea-7c12  (untriaged)
  Pin most-used specs to top of list

Promotion

To turn a finding into a task, create or update a spec using the finding as context. The typical flow:

1. jig findings — review what’s accumulated
2. jig spec show <suggested-spec> — read the spec
3. Add a task manually via create_task (MCP) or jig decompose (CLI) with the bug description as context
4. jig dismiss <id> — dismiss the finding once the task is created

Dismissing findings

jig dismiss bug-3a9f

Dismissed findings are hidden from jig findings output but are not deleted. They remain in history.
