jira-comment-webhook

A webhook server that automatically posts an Open workspace comment on newly created Jira issues.

When a Jira issue is created, the webhook posts a comment containing a direct link to open a Worktree workspace for that issue.

How it works

1. Jira sends a jira:issue_created webhook event to this server
2. The server posts a comment on the issue with a link to open a Worktree workspace
