SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Manually reviewing a Jira ticket means chasing comments, linked issues, Confluence pages, and sprint context across multiple tools, then still guessing at scope and effort. This Skill fetches all of that context in one command and produces a structured analysis covering requirements clarity, technical feasibility, story breakdown, and key concerns. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full-context ticket analysis: Fetches the ticket, comments, linked issues, epic/sprint context, and Confluence pages via Atlassian MCP, then analyzes across four lenses. - Staleness and drift detection: Compares against any prior saved analysis and surfaces what changed since the last review. - CEU story point estimation: Scores Complexity, Effort, and Uncertainty against a decision matrix to produce a story point estimate. - Planning phase: Routes to a closure comment draft, an epic breakdown with child story creation, or an implementation plan depending on disposition. - Use Case: Run the analysis on PROJ-123 before sprint planning to get a saved analysis.md with requirements gaps, a CEU estimate, and an actionable story plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to analyze Jira ticket PROJ-123 and it will fetch the ticket context, produce a four-lens analysis, and save it to a file.

Frequently Asked Questions about jira-analyze-ticket

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a Jira ticket with an AI agent?▼

Provide the ticket key (e.g. PROJ-123), a Jira browse URL, or a branch name containing the key. The skill resolves the key, fetches the ticket, comments, linked issues, and Confluence pages via Atlassian MCP, then saves a structured analysis to a file.

How to estimate story points for a Jira ticket automatically?▼

The skill scores Complexity, Effort, and Uncertainty using the CEU matrix in assets/ceu-matrix.md, then looks up the story point value in the decision matrix. It also compares the estimate against any story points already set in Jira and flags discrepancies.

Does this skill work without the Atlassian MCP server?▼

No. All Jira and Confluence fetching requires Atlassian MCP tools. If the MCP server is unavailable at any step, the skill stops and asks you to start it rather than falling back to pasted content.

What happens when a Jira ticket has image or PDF attachments?▼

The skill cannot read images, archives, or binary files like PDF and DOCX. It stops and asks you to paste the relevant content as text, or type skip if the attachment is not relevant to the analysis.

Can it create Jira stories from an epic breakdown?▼

Yes. For epics needing implementation, it audits existing child tickets, drafts a plan with CEU estimates per story, and after your approval can auto-create stories via the createJiraIssue MCP tool or generate story files from manually created ticket IDs.
