alt Hacker News> ticket in JIRA -> solution in production
We started building that but it quickly turned out to be too narrow. Often we want agents to do task that have no input ticket and often the output is not a code change (Slack bot, incident investigatior, scheduled daily tasks, ...)

Correct and that is why bash coding agents like pi.dev got things completely backwards with their anti-minimalist bloated core tools.
No, giving the agent access to every single command on the system is not minimalist. It is actively detrimental if you want to do more than just attended coding with the agent.

I've worked on that as well, and agree with you. You do need the "build this thing" flow, but that just shifts the bottleneck. You also need a whole infrastructure around it, where the jira-to-production pipeline isn't the interesting part.
