Spec to Backlog

Overview

Transform Confluence specification documents into structured Jira backlogs automatically. This skill reads requirement documents from Confluence, intelligently breaks them down into logical implementation tasks, creates an Epic first to organize the work, then generates individual Jira tickets linked to that Epic—eliminating tedious manual copy-pasting.

Core Workflow

CRITICAL: Always follow this exact sequence:

  1. Fetch Confluence Page → Get the specification content
  2. Ask for Project Key → Identify target Jira project
  3. Analyze Specification → Break down into logical tasks (internally, don't create yet)
  4. Present Breakdown → Show user the planned Epic and tickets
  5. Create Epic FIRST → Establish parent Epic and capture its key
