Auto-resolve Jira Tickets with GitHub Copilot using Port Context

Auto-resolve Jira tickets with coding agents

Improve issue resolution by assigning Jira tickets to coding agents with full operational context from Port, ensuring faster, accurate, and context-aware development

How it works Listen for Jira ticket updates and detect when an issue moves to In Progress with the label product_approved and without copilot_assigned. Query the Port catalog to extract only contextual information relevant to the Jira issue (services, repos, docs, resources, dependencies). Generate a concise GitHub issue title and a self-contained issue body that summarizes the Jira description and includes any found Port context. Create the GitHub issue in the target repository and post a comment that requests Copilot to take ownership. Write the GitHub link back to the Jira ticket and add the copilot_assigned label so the ticket is marked as handled.
