name: jira-ticket-creator description: This skill should be used when users need to create Jira tickets for the RD (Research & Development) project. It supports creating features, bugs, and tasks with proper field mapping including assignee, team, sprint, and state. The skill uses Jira CLI commands and provides templates for different ticket types.

Jira Ticket Creator

Overview

This skill enables creation and management of Jira tickets in the RD project using the Jira CLI. It supports three ticket types: Features (with PRD-like content), Bugs (with problem analysis), and Tasks (general work items).

Quick Start

To create a Jira ticket, determine the ticket type and gather required information:

1. Feature: Summary, description, optional assignee/team/sprint
2. Bug: Summary, problem description, reproduction steps, resolution hypothesis, optional assignee/team/sprint
3. Task: Summary, description, optional assignee/team/sprint

Core Capabilities

1. Create Feature Tickets

Use for new capabilities or significant enhancements.

Execute the jira_helper.py script with feature parameters:

Copypython scripts/jira_helper.py create-feature "<summary>" "<description>" [assignee] [team] [sprint]

The script automatically formats the description with PRD-like sections:

• Feature Overview
• Requirements
• Acceptance Criteria
• Technical Considerations

2. Create Bug Tickets

Use for issues where the system behaves incorrectly.

Execute the jira_helper.py script with bug parameters:

Copypython scripts/jira_helper.py create-bug "<summary>" "<problem>" "<reproduction-steps>" "<resolution-hypothesis>" [assignee] [team] [sprint]

The script automatically formats the description with problem analysis sections:

• Problem Description
• Steps to Reproduce
• Expected vs Actual Behavior
• Resolution Hypothesis
• Additional Context

3. Create Task Tickets

Use for general work items that don't fit as features or bugs.

Execute the jira_helper.py script with task parameters:

Copypython scripts/jira_helper.py create-task "<summary>" "<description>" [assignee] [team] [sprint]

4. List and Update Tickets

List tickets in the RD project:

Copypython scripts/jira_helper.py list

Update existing tickets using the Jira CLI directly:

Copyjira issue update TICKET-123 --status "In Progress" --assignee username

Decision Tree

1. What type of work item do you need?

   • New capability/enhancement → Create Feature Ticket
   • Something is broken → Create Bug Ticket
   • General work item → Create Task Ticket

2. Do you have all required information?

   • Feature: summary + description
   • Bug: summary + problem + reproduction + hypothesis
   • Task: summary + description

3. Optional fields available?

   • Assignee, team, sprint → Include in command

Create a task ticket:

CopyUser: "I need a task to upgrade the database schema for the next release"
→ Use create-task with clear description of the upgrade work
