Jira Ticket Creator

VS Code extension for creating Jira tickets using AI. Describe what you need, and AI extracts the summary, description, type, priority, and labels. Supports single tickets, bulk creation, and file import.

Features

• AI-powered ticket generation via GitHub Copilot LM API
• Bulk creation — one description per line, or load from a file
• Preview table with edit-before-create workflow
• 4 auth types — PAT, Basic, API Token, Cookie (for SSO/IAP)
• Jira Server/DC and Cloud support (API v2 and v3)
• Zero dependencies — pure JavaScript, no build step

Requirements

• VS Code 1.93+
• GitHub Copilot extension (installed and signed in)

Setup

1. Install the extension (download .vsix from Releases, then Ctrl+Shift+P → "Extensions: Install from VSIX...")
2. Configure settings (Ctrl+, → search "Jira Ticket Creator"):
   • Base URL — your Jira instance (e.g., https://jira.example.com)
   • Project Key — e.g., PROJ
3. Configure authentication: Ctrl+Shift+P → "Jira: Configure Jira Authentication"

Authentication

Type	When to use
PAT	Jira Server/DC 8.14+ — recommended
