Technical issues are about code. So why use traditional trackers like Jira that aren't embedded in your editor and linked to your code ! Stepsize fixes this and brings issue tracking into your code editor. ### **Teams who use Stepsize...** 🚀🚀🚀 Ship up to **3x faster** 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 Track **8x more** issues than when using trackers like Jira 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 View issues **21x more often** because engineers can see them inline, next to the relevant code ## ## **Who is Stepsize for?** Stepsize is for teams who want a radically better way of managing technical issues. You might want to... * [x] Report more, better issues (without leaving your editor) * [x] Bring visibility to technical debt * [x] Create actionable issues, linked to code * [x] Visualise tech debt in your codebase * [x] Identify & prioritise tech debt that impacts your product roadmap ## ## **How do I get started?** Let's start with the basics: [**creating your first issue**.](/stepsize-documentation/getting-started/creating-your-first-issue.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://stepsize.gitbook.io/stepsize-documentation/getting-started/getting-started-with-stepsize.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
