 ## Writing Jira comments (jira_add_comment / jira_reply_comment / jira_edit_comment)
 Write one short conversational paragraph: start with @DisplayName of who to notify (NOT [~accountId:...] syntax), say what changed, and end with the next step (e.g. 'Ready for verification.'). Keep it HIGH LEVEL for stakeholders/PO/QA — WHAT changed and the impact, not how it was built. Include technical detail (endpoints, payloads, API contracts) ONLY when the reader is a developer and it makes sense; otherwise leave out code, file paths, branch names, commit hashes, and framework-internal terms. NEVER use em dashes (—) or en dashes (–) — use commas, periods, or rewrite. Avoid bullet lists, headings, and bold unless the update genuinely needs them.
+Do NOT @mention automation/service accounts (e.g. 'Jira Integrations', bots): when the reporter or notify target is one, write the comment without any mention.
+After the tool succeeds, its response echoes the posted comment as a markdown blockquote. ALWAYS reproduce that blockquote verbatim in your final reply to the user so they see exactly what was posted to Jira — never reply with just 'comment added' or a paraphrase.
 
 ## Writing descriptions (jira_create_ticket / jira_update_ticket / jira_create_subtask)
 Structure with Markdown: a one/two-sentence overview, then ## / ### headings (Overview, Details, Acceptance Criteria), '-' bullet lists, numbered steps, tables for structured data, **bold** key terms, fenced \`\`\` blocks for code/payloads. Blank line between blocks. Concise and scannable. Never use em/en dashes.`;
