What problem does it solve?
Product managers and engineers spend hours manually converting detailed specification documents into structured Jira Epics and tasks. This tedious, error-prone process often delays project kick-off and introduces inconsistencies. This skill automates the entire breakdown and creation process.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Backlog Creation: Read Confluence specification documents and automatically generate a hierarchical Jira backlog, including a parent Epic and linked child tickets.
- Intelligent Task Breakdown: Decompose high-level requirements into actionable tasks, assigning appropriate Jira issue types (Story, Task, Bug) based on content.
- Contextual Descriptions: Ensure each created ticket includes relevant context, requirements, and acceptance criteria derived directly from the specification.
- Use Case: A product manager finishes a detailed Confluence spec for a new feature. Instead of spending a day creating Jira tickets, they use this skill to instantly generate the entire backlog, complete with an Epic and linked implementation tasks, ready for sprint planning.
