When reviewing code, important issues often surface in discussions but get lost without proper tracking. CodeRabbit bridges this gap by creating issues directly from pull request conversations or chat interactions, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. CodeRabbit supports issue creation across GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Linear. You can create issues naturally through conversations—just mention @coderabbitai and describe what needs to be tracked.

​
Creating issues through agentic chat

The most straightforward way to create issues is through CodeRabbit’s chat interface. During pull request reviews or in comment threads, mention @coderabbitai and ask to create an issue. CodeRabbit analyzes the context and creates a well-structured issue with relevant details. Creating an issue inline during a pull request review conversation When using CodeRabbit’s agentic chat, you can have natural conversations about what needs to be tracked. CodeRabbit formats the issue appropriately for your chosen platform, including code context, discussion history, and technical details. Creating an issue through CodeRabbit's agentic chat interface

Best practices

Provide context

Include relevant code snippets, error messages, or discussion context when requesting issue creation. This helps CodeRabbit generate more detailed and actionable issues.

Specify the platform

If you have multiple issue platforms configured, explicitly mention which one to use: “Create a Jira ticket for this” or “Add this to Linear.”

Include assignee information

Mention specific team members who should handle the issue: “Create an issue for @username to investigate this performance problem.”

Set priority and timing

Indicate urgency or deadlines: “Create a high-priority issue for the memory leak in checkout flow” or “Add this to the next sprint.”
