Ready up Jira tickets for refinement, including brand-new not-yet-keyed backlog items, by gathering context from linked incidents or interviewing the user when no incident exists, populating a YAML template against the project's 'ready for refinement' standard, validating it against a JSON schema plus gap-detection heuristics for testability and vagueness, and generating a structured markdown document. Use when asked to ready up, prepare for refinement, draft a new backlog ticket, or write up…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# jira-ticket-readyup

Turn a sparse Jira backlog ticket — or a brand-new item with no key yet — into a fully-structured "ready for refinement" document by gathering incident context (or interviewing the user when no source material answers a required question), applying the standard template, and validating the output against both the schema and gap-detection heuristics.

## When to Use This Skill

Use jira-ticket-readyup when:
- User asks to "ready up" or "prepare for refinement" one or more Jira tickets
- A ticket exists but lacks Context, Conditions of Satisfaction, or Acceptance Criteria
- User wants to promote a follow-up ticket (spawned from an incident) into a proper backlog item
- User wants to draft a brand-new backlog ticket that has no Jira key yet (set `ticket.new_ticket: true` — see Step 2a)

**Do NOT use for:**
- Tickets that are already in "Ready for Refinement" status with full descriptions

## What a Good Ticket Looks Like

A ticket is "ready for refinement" when it has all four sections:

| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| **Context** | Background on the service, current behaviour, and why it matters |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/jira-ticket-readyup@sha256:6fa44620f4689295

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.263a106, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
