Skipper automates Jira ticket creation directly from Slack. Whether a long conversation or a quick Slack command, Skipper organizes the information, analyzes images, and creates detailed tickets in Jira — like an assistant!
Hi Product Hunt community 👋
I'm excited to share Skipper – an intelligent Slack bot that creates your Jira tickets for you!
Why
In our fast-paced technical team, we are power users of Jira and Slack. Planning and triaging issues in Slack, then translating all of that again into Jira tickets was getting tedious at our pace.
I built Skipper as an internal tool to automate this process for us, and it's been working pretty well.
What
Skipper uses AI to intelligently create Jira tickets from a Slack context, whether it's a conversation or a single message. It's decreases your team's effort and context switching, and now you only need to proof-read the ticket after it's made (or don't)!
How it's used
- Conversations: Tag @Skipper in a conversation, and it will create a ticket based on the discussion. Analyzes images within too!
- Slack Commands: Use /ticket for quick ticket creation with simple requirements.
- Direct Messages: DM Skipper with "create …” and add media files to create your ticket that way.
What it does
- Task type: Auto-detects based on context.
- Epics: Auto-assigns the most relevant epic it finds, or you can specify which one to use.
- Sprints: Detects the next sprint automatically and places the ticket there.
- Assignee: You can assign the ticket through your command, or leave it unassigned by default.

I'd love for you to try Skipper! I can't wait to hear your feedback, or answer any questions!
Thanks!
Very needed feature!, do you plan to be able to decide if multiple tickets should be created from the same thread, or if the ticket that would be created should instead be deduplicated and linked to an existing one?
I've been working with PMs for the last year to improve flows like these within enterprise software companies. I'd be happy to talk and exchange knowledge.
Best of luck with the launch!
I've been using skipper for the past several weeks and the whole team has been very impressed with how nuanced and helpful it is. I've seen countless instances where things get dropped or missed simply because the documentation or requirements never made it out of Slack. Skipper solves that and makes it easy to ensure everyone is working off of the same information.
The ability to create tickets from conversations is great, especially when things get busy. It's easy to lose track of important tasks when they're buried in chat threads. @vikram_ramkumar
this is such an awesome idea, my dev friends in my organization should be easily able to keep a thread from slack as their jira tickets, one question @vikram_ramkumar , does it also makes sure that no duplicate jira tickets for the same slack threads are created? like what if one person opens a thread for the same topic? will it make sure that duplication doesnt happen overtime?
Wow, Skipper looks like a real time-saver! As someone who's constantly juggling between Slack and Jira, this could be a game-changer. Love how it can create tickets from conversations - that's where most of our ideas pop up anyway. The auto-detection for task types and epics is pretty slick too. Curious about how well it handles complex discussions though. Any plans to integrate with other project management tools in the future? Either way, definitely giving this a try in our next sprint planning session!
