2. For Jira tickets, you should follow the instructions in [Jira Integration](https://qodo-merge-docs.qodo.ai/core-abilities/fetching_ticket_context/#jira-integration) in order to authenticate with Jira.
Qodo Merge PR Agent will recognize the ticket and use the ticket content (title, description, labels) to provide additional context for the code changes.
By understanding the reasoning and intent behind modifications, the LLM can offer more insightful and relevant code analysis.
### Review tool
Similarly to the `describe` tool, the `review` tool will use the ticket content to provide additional context for the code changes.
In addition, this feature will evaluate how well a Pull Request (PR) adheres to its original purpose/intent as defined by the associated ticket or issue mentioned in the PR description.
Each ticket will be assigned a label (Compliance/Alignment level), Indicates the degree to which the PR fulfills its original purpose, Options: Fully compliant, Partially compliant or Not compliant.
Include a ticket reference in your PR description using either the complete URL format https://<JIRA_ORG>.atlassian.net/browse/ISSUE-123 or the shortened ticket ID ISSUE-123.
**Method 2: Branch Name Detection:**
Name your branch with the ticket ID as a prefix (e.g., `ISSUE-123-feature-description` or `ISSUE-123/feature-description`).
