SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Captures rough messages and short descriptions and turns them into well-structured Jira issues without you having to manually figure out the right project, type, and level of detail.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routes to the right Jira project using an explicit parent ticket key, an explicit project key, or keyword matching with a fallback to listing projects for selection.
  • Selects the appropriate issue depth (Light, Standard, or Heavy) to avoid over-specifying while still creating tickets that are actionable.
  • Drafts the issue end to end with minimal clarification (up to two questions when something essential is missing), then confirms and creates the Jira issue via the Atlassian MCP.
  • Handles new Jira creation workflows and explicitly avoids editing/updating existing issues so users can instead use the MCP’s update tools directly.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to "create a Jira story from this message" and include any Jira key or project key you already have.
