jira-in-branch

Agent hook that blocks gh pr create when the current branch has no Jira ticket in its name.

Built with @polyhook/sdk — works across Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and Amp.

How it works

Intercepts every bash tool call. When the command matches gh pr create (or gh pr new), reads the current git branch and checks for a Jira ticket pattern ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-\d+).

| Branch | Result | |--------|--------| | feat/PROJ-123-my-feature | ✅ allowed | | main | ❌ blocked | | fix-login-bug | ❌ blocked |

Install

pnpm add -D jira-in-branch

Wire up

Claude Code

Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Bash",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "pnpm exec jira-in-branch"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

Other agents

Same binary works for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and Amp — @polyhook/sdk detects the caller automatically. Replace the command value above with the equivalent hook config for your agent.
