Add issue context from Jira to make AI reviews understand your requirements, generate accurate PR descriptions and analyze if your code meets the acceptance criteria from your Jira issues. Jira integration settings page

​
Setup

​
Connect Jira

  1. Navigate to integration settings.
  2. Follow the instructions to connect your Jira instance.
  3. Authorize cubic to access your Jira projects.

​
Configure AI behavior

Toggle these options based on your workflow:
  • Use context when reviewing code - AI reviews check if code matches issue requirements
  • Use context when writing PR descriptions - Generate descriptions from linked Jira issues

​
How it works

cubic finds Jira issues by looking for issue keys in your PR title or description. The format looks like PROJ-123 where PROJ is your project key. Include the Jira key in your PR title ([PROJ-123] Add authentication system) or description for cubic to pull in issue context. Once connected, you can also manually link Jira issues directly in the cubic PR interface.

​
Best practices

  • Write clear acceptance criteria and user stories in Jira for better AI feedback
  • Use Jira’s Description and Acceptance Criteria fields to provide comprehensive context
  • Format requirements as bullet points or numbered lists for automatic issue analysis
  • Be specific with testable criteria that cubic can verify against your code changes
  • Create custom rules that reference Jira context for specific checks
  • Link related issues and epics in Jira for complete context
