FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Jira release notes from issues associated with a fix version?▼

Jira release notes generation queries issues tied to a specified fix version and groups them into Features, Bug Fixes, and Improvements. It outputs a markdown file with YAML frontmatter for local review and potential publishing.

Can I create a new Jira version and draft its release notes at the same time?▼

Yes, drafting Jira release notes supports both creating new Jira versions and updating existing ones. This allows you to query issues for a newly defined fix version and immediately generate a structured markdown draft.

How are Jira issues categorized when automating release note drafting?▼

Automating release note drafting groups queried Jira issues into three distinct categories: Features, Bug Fixes, and Improvements. This structured grouping is then formatted into a local markdown file for review.

What is the best way to prepare draft release notes for review before publishing?▼

Do I need any external dependencies to draft Jira release notes locally?▼

No external dependencies are required to draft Jira release notes locally. The Skill operates independently using scripts to query issues and output the structured markdown draft file.

Why use a local draft for Jira release notes instead of publishing directly?▼
