How it works
- Connect the Jira plugin in your workspace’s Plugins page
- Comment on your PR:
- Kody fetches the Jira ticket (title, description, acceptance criteria), reads the PR diff, and compares them
What you get
Kody produces a structured report with:- Status — Issues Found or Compliant
- Findings with severity levels:
- MUST_FIX — a required business rule is not implemented
- SUGGESTION — an edge case or robustness point is not covered
- INFO — useful observation that doesn’t block compliance
- Requirement tracing — each finding quotes the exact requirement from the Jira ticket
- Requirements Verified — what was correctly implemented, with file/line references
Automatic validation
Withbusiness_logic: true in your review options (enabled by default), Kody automatically validates against linked tasks during every PR review — no manual command needed.
Tips for best results
- Add acceptance criteria to your Jira tickets — tasks with explicit criteria get criterion-by-criterion validation
- If the PR scope doesn’t match the ticket, Kody detects the scope mismatch instead of producing misleading findings
- You can re-run the validation after addressing findings to confirm compliance
