If requirements are not clear, stop coding and start asking questions. If your company track stories in JIRA then tag PM or anyone from the business who can help you clarify the requirements. From my experience, PMs are not sure what the exact requirements are. So asking them questions open up a channel of back-and-forth discussion.

"If your company track stories in JIRA" I think that's your problem right there.

If your building a product or major feature and not a bugfix you should have a proper version controlled design document or documents to work from and also a lead or architect to get guidance from.

Right after Excel, JIRA is one of the most abused tools out there. I wish specs were in version control, but we too use that "ticket per feature" workflow at my job. I rather a Confluence page outlining what we want.
