# Jira / Linear Ticket Writer

Turn a rough idea or bug report into a well-scoped ticket with acceptance criteria a developer can pick up cold.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Tracker** (choose one: Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, Asana, Generic)
- **Ticket type** (choose one: Bug, Feature, Chore / tech debt, Spike / investigation)
- **The rough idea** (longer free text)
- **Affected area** (free text, e.g. "Service")
- **Priority** (choose one: Urgent, High, Medium, Low)
- **Include a QA / test plan section** (choose one: Yes, No)

## Prompt template

## Jira / Linear Ticket Writer

Turn this into a ticket an engineer can pick up without asking me anything.

- Tracker: {{Tracker}}
- Ticket type: {{Ticket type}}
- The rough idea: {{The rough idea}}
- Affected area: {{Affected area}}
- Priority: {{Priority}}
- Include a QA / test plan section {{Include a QA / test plan section}}

Produce: a one-line title in imperative mood, a short context paragraph explaining why this matters, steps to reproduce (bugs) or user story (features), acceptance criteria as a checklist, out-of-scope notes, and a rough size estimate with the reasoning behind it. Flag any requirement I left ambiguous rather than inventing a decision.
