Import external work

myco absorb pulls work that lives elsewhere into the ledger — code comments, Jira exports, GitHub issue dumps.

Sweep code comments

myco absorb comments                  # the repo root
myco absorb comments --path src/ --kinds TODO,FIXME,HACK
myco absorb comments --to issues      # file issues instead of backlog items
myco absorb comments --dry            # report without creating

Uses ripgrep (rg must be installed), respects .gitignore, and skips project/, docs/, target/. Findings land as T- items — BACKLOG.md by default, issues/ files with --to issues.

Jira CSV

myco absorb jira export.csv
myco absorb jira export.csv --include-done

Done/Resolved rows are skipped unless --include-done — then they're created done and archived.

GitHub issue dump

myco absorb github dump.json          # or dump.csv
myco absorb github dump.json --include-done

JSON input is an array of issue objects — a gh issue list --json number,title,state,labels,assignees,body dump works as-is (labels entries can be "name" strings or {name:…} objects, assignee/assignees strings or {login:…} objects; extra fields are ignored). CSV is the equivalent columns. closed issues are skipped unless --include-done (created done + archived).

After importing

myco status         # the ledger, now bigger
myco board          # or the kanban view
myco check          # sanity

Each absorb run is one commit — --no-commit batches several imports into one myco commit.
