To tickets skill

To tickets is part of Matt Pocock's engineering skills. Its job is to break a plan into tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring what blocks it. It runs only when you call it by name; the agent never loads it on its own.

When it runs

Only when you ask for it. The skill turns off automatic loading, so the agent never starts it on its own. This is the description it carries:

Break a plan, spec, or the current conversation into a set of tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges, published to the configured tracker (edges as text in one file per ticket locally, or native blocking links on a real tracker).

What the instructions cover

The sections of its SKILL.md, in order.

  • Process
  • Parent
  • What to build
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Blocked by

What ships with it

Besides SKILL.md, the folder carries these. The agent opens them only when a step in the instructions calls for one.
