FAQPage Schema

How do I create YouTrack issues automatically from development requests?▼

You can draft and create YouTrack issues automatically by providing a request to the agent. It structures summaries, descriptions, and types, obtains your approval, creates the ticket via MCP, and moves it to the Develop state.

Do I need YouTrack MCP configured to manage tickets through my agent?▼

Yes, YouTrack MCP must be configured and available to use this skill. If MCP is unavailable, the agent references DEVELOPMENT.md to guide issue management and workflow state transitions instead.

Can I validate existing YouTrack tickets before starting development work?▼

Yes, you can validate existing YouTrack tickets by providing a ticket ID. The agent uses get_issue to fetch and confirm the ticket details match the planned work before moving forward with development state transitions.

What YouTrack ticket ID formats are supported for validation and updates?▼

The skill supports flexible YouTrack ticket ID formats including standard IDs like DBA-XXX, bare numbers, and full URLs. This allows seamless validation and updates across different workflow contexts without manual formatting.

How does the approval workflow work when creating new YouTrack tickets?▼

Guardrails enforce user approval before creating new YouTrack tickets. The agent drafts the issue with structured details and pauses for your confirmation, except in autosteer mode where it proceeds automatically to move tickets to Develop.

What is the best way to transition YouTrack tickets to the Develop state?▼

The best way to transition tickets to the Develop state is using the update_issue MCP function. The agent validates the ticket, drafts any missing details, obtains approval, and applies the state transition end-to-end.
