SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turning a long list of Jira items into individual issues is slow and error-prone when done manually, especially when you need consistent fields, labels, and descriptions across many tickets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bulk issue creation from a manifest: Create multiple issues at once by defining an array of issue objects in a JSON file (project and summary required).
  • Supports common Jira fields in one pass: Set issue type (defaulting to Task), assignee (including “me”), priority, labels, components, parent links, fix versions, and custom fields.
  • Markdown-ready descriptions: Provide each issue’s description as a Markdown string and publish it during creation.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to build your issues.json manifest for your project and then run jirac issue bulk-create with that manifest to create the tickets.
