Unlock the power of Prompt Generation with the CodeGen! Effortlessly leverage tailored, context-aware prompts for JIRA tasks. It empowers developers to fetch tasks assigned to them from Jira, and generate comprehensive prompts that include security guardrails, practices, etc. These prompts are further processed in GitHub Copilot to generate code.
