How do I run the syntax validation?

You can use the included 'validate-jira-syntax.sh' script to check your text files for common formatting errors before submitting them to Jira.

Does it include templates for agile workflows?

Yes, it provides standardized templates for Bug Reports and Feature Requests, including essential sections like Acceptance Criteria and User Stories.

Can I use this skill to create Jira tickets automatically?

This skill focuses on content formatting and validation. To perform API operations like creating or updating tickets, use this in conjunction with the jira-communication skill.

How does Jira syntax differ from standard Markdown?

Jira uses proprietary wiki markup, such as 'h2.' for headings instead of '##' and '{code}' blocks instead of triple backticks. This skill ensures your content is properly translated for Jira.
