Normally I don't like things like AppleScript, where it sounds like English but the syntax needs to be exact so I can never remember the correct syntax.
Then there's AI / LLM, but I think that would be overkill. I just want to be able to do this:
infrastructure bugs created by me in the past 2 days
items I worked on in the last two weeks
items I worked on in the previous sprint
all bugs created yesterday
all bugs marked done yesterday
items I worked on in the last two weeks
items I worked on in the previous sprint
all bugs created yesterday
all bugs marked done yesterday
I feel this is almost like SQL actually. Jira has JQL but sometimes it feels awkward.
"all"? (team "team"?)? ["items" | "stories" | "bugs"] ["created" | "updated"] ("by" [me | name])? ([today | yesterday | ("in the [last | past] n [days | weeks])])? ...

I started looking at autocomplete. It could be done without text parsing – just a decision tree.
