A lightweight Chrome extension that copies the current page’s title and URL in Jira or Slack-friendly markup. It automatically sanitizes special characters so your links don’t break the target format.

• Jira format: [Title|URL]
• Slack format: [Title](URL)
• Jira Short / Slack Short: Automatically truncate the title
• Auto-sanitization of special characters (e.g. braces, brackets, pipes).
