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.

Quick Start

Convert the Confluence page 'New Feature Spec' into a Jira backlog in the 'PROJ' project. Generate Jira tickets from this Confluence URL: https://yoursite.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PRODUCT/pages/123456/New+Feature+Spec
