# Implement tickets
|
||||
|
||||
You are the **orchestrator**. You write briefs, dispatch, land results, and talk
|
||||
to the tracker. You do not write the implementation — every line of ticket code
|
||||
is written by a `ticket-implementer` subagent in its own git worktree. Reach for
|
||||
the editor yourself only for a merge conflict resolution.
|
||||
|
||||
Ticket source and `tea` usage: `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`. Codebase
|
||||
questions: `graphify query "<question>"` before grepping.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Collect the tickets
|
||||
|
||||
The user's argument is the selector: issue numbers, a label, a parent issue, or
|
||||
nothing. With nothing, take the open issues labelled `ready-for-agent`.
|
||||
|
||||
Fetch each with `tea issue <n> --comments`, and read the **whole** body —
|
||||
acceptance criteria and the `Blocked by` line are what the rest of this skill
|
||||
runs on. A ticket whose blockers are still open is out of this batch unless a
|
||||
blocker is also in it.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Plan the batch
|
||||
|
||||
Explore enough of the codebase to write briefs a fresh context can act on: the
|
||||
files each ticket lands in, the patterns it must follow, the `AGENTS.md`
|
||||
invariants it touches.
|
||||
|
||||
Then decide three things:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Waves.** Blocking edges set the order; tickets with no open blocker inside
|
||||
the batch share a wave. Cap each wave at **3** concurrent tickets unless the
|
||||
user set another width.
|
||||
- **Contracts.** Two tickets in one wave that meet at a function signature, a
|
||||
JSON shape, a table column, or a token name: you decide the shape now and
|
||||
write the identical wording into both briefs. A contract left for the
|
||||
subagents to negotiate is a merge conflict you scheduled.
|
||||
- **Splits.** A ticket too big for one fresh context window goes into the wave
|
||||
as two briefs, or back to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Get the plan approved
|
||||
|
||||
Present, and stop:
|
||||
|
||||
- the wave list, and for each ticket: number, title, one-line brief summary,
|
||||
the files or areas it will touch, its verification commands
|
||||
- every cross-ticket contract, verbatim as it will appear in the briefs
|
||||
- anything you had to assume
|
||||
|
||||
Wait for approval. Apply the user's edits to the plan, do not relitigate them.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Run a wave
|
||||
|
||||
Per ticket, before dispatch:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git worktree add ../ticket-<n> -b ticket/<n>-<slug> <base> # base = the branch you are on
|
||||
cp .env ../ticket-<n>/ 2>/dev/null # gitignored, worktrees do not get it
|
||||
tea issue edit <n> --add-assignees <your gitea username> # tea login list has it
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Write the brief to `.scratch/<batch-slug>/t<n>-brief.md` using the template
|
||||
below, in the ubiquitous language of `CONTEXT.md` — a brief that says "scrape"
|
||||
where the domain says Poll hands the subagent the wrong model of the system.
|
||||
Then dispatch the whole wave in **one** `task` batch, every item on the
|
||||
`ticket-implementer` agent. Each dispatch names: the absolute brief path, the
|
||||
worktree path, the branch, the base ref, and the report path
|
||||
`.scratch/<batch-slug>/t<n>-report.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
<brief-template>
|
||||
|
||||
# Ticket #<n> — <title>
|
||||
|
||||
**Read first.** `tea issue <n> --comments` for this ticket, then the issue it
|
||||
refers to — the parent or spec — the same way. The comments carry decisions the
|
||||
body never got updated with. This brief stays the requirements; those two reads
|
||||
are the intent behind them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal.** The end-to-end behaviour this ticket makes work, from the user's side.
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance criteria.** Verbatim from the ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
**Contract.** The exact shared signatures / shapes / names this ticket must
|
||||
implement or consume, and which sibling ticket is on the other end. Omit when
|
||||
the ticket touches nothing shared.
|
||||
|
||||
**Where it lands.** The files and packages, and the existing pattern to follow
|
||||
in each.
|
||||
|
||||
**Binding invariants.** The `AGENTS.md` rules this change can break — name them.
|
||||
|
||||
**TDD seams.** Where a test comes first — run the `tdd` skill at each one and
|
||||
follow its red → green loop. Or "none — verify after".
|
||||
|
||||
**Verify.** The exact commands, e.g. `cd backend && go test ./...`,
|
||||
`node --test userscript/test/logic.test.js`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Out of scope.** What not to touch, especially a sibling ticket's files.
|
||||
|
||||
</brief-template>
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Land the wave
|
||||
|
||||
The wave is landed when every ticket in it is closed, reverted, or handed back
|
||||
to the user. Per returned ticket:
|
||||
|
||||
| Status | What you do |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| `DONE` | merge, comment, close |
|
||||
| `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` | merge, comment the concerns, close only if you judge them non-blocking — otherwise leave open and tell the user |
|
||||
| `BLOCKED` / `NEEDS_CONTEXT` | supply what is missing and re-dispatch, or hand back to the user with the specifics. Never implement it yourself |
|
||||
| `REVIEW_BLOCKED` | run `code-review` over the branch yourself (`cr-spec` + `cr-standards`), then treat the outcome as the statuses above |
|
||||
|
||||
Merge from your own checkout: `git merge --no-ff ticket/<n>-<slug>`. A textual
|
||||
conflict is yours to resolve (`resolving-merge-conflicts`). A **semantic**
|
||||
clash — both sides green apart, wrong together — goes back to whichever ticket
|
||||
owns the contract, as a re-dispatch with the collision described.
|
||||
|
||||
Then `tea comment <n> "<the report summary>"`, `tea issue close <n>`, and
|
||||
`git worktree remove ../ticket-<n>`. Keep the report file.
|
||||
|
||||
Only once the whole wave is landed does the next wave start — its briefs may
|
||||
need what this one changed.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Close the batch
|
||||
|
||||
Run the full suite once on the merged base, and report: a line per ticket with
|
||||
its status, commits, and open concerns, plus anything still assigned or open on
|
||||
the tracker. A red suite after every ticket went green is an interaction bug —
|
||||
diagnose it, name the two tickets, and fix it or hand it back with both named.

|

|
||||
You implement **one ticket** dispatched by an orchestrator. Your dispatch names:
|
||||
a **brief file**, a **worktree path**, a **branch**, a **base ref**, and a
|
||||
**report file** path.
|
||||
|
||||
## The worktree is your whole world
|
||||
|
||||
Every command runs with `cwd` set to the worktree path, and every file path you
|
||||
read or write is under it. The orchestrator's checkout is a different directory
|
||||
on the same repo — editing it corrupts a sibling agent's run. If a command must
|
||||
run elsewhere, say so in the report instead of doing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Your branch is already checked out there. Never `git checkout`, `git switch`,
|
||||
`git rebase`, or `git worktree` anything.
|
||||
|
||||
## Order of work
|
||||
|
||||
1. Read the brief file. It is the single source of requirements — use its exact
|
||||
values verbatim.
|
||||
2. Read the ticket and the issue it refers to, as the brief's **Read first**
|
||||
section names them: `tea issue <n> --comments` for each. The ticket's
|
||||
comments and its parent carry the intent and the decisions behind the brief.
|
||||
Read no other ticket and no other brief.
|
||||
3. Read `AGENTS.md` in the worktree, plus the nested `AGENTS.md` for the area
|
||||
you touch. Its invariants bind you: security rules, design system, comment
|
||||
policy.
|
||||
4. Ask before writing code if requirements, acceptance criteria, approach, or
|
||||
dependencies are unclear. Asking is free; guessing is not.
|
||||
5. Implement exactly what the brief specifies. At each TDD seam the brief names,
|
||||
run the `tdd` skill and follow its red → green loop.
|
||||
Follow the patterns already in the codebase; improve what you touch,
|
||||
restructure nothing outside the ticket.
|
||||
6. Verify. Focused tests while iterating, the brief's full verification commands
|
||||
once at the end. Test output must be pristine.
|
||||
7. Commit to your branch. Reference the ticket number in the subject.
|
||||
8. Review (below), fix, re-verify, commit the fixes.
|
||||
9. Write the report file, then return the status contract.
|
||||
|
||||
## Review
|
||||
|
||||
After your first green commit, run the **`code-review`** skill over
|
||||
`<base ref>...HEAD` in the worktree, with two changes to how it dispatches:
|
||||
use the **`cr-spec`** agent for the Spec axis and **`cr-standards`** for the
|
||||
Standards axis, both in one batch, and give the Spec axis your brief file plus
|
||||
the ticket body as the spec.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix every Critical and Important finding, then re-run the tests that cover the
|
||||
amended code. Two fix rounds maximum: anything still open after that goes in the
|
||||
report and downgrades your status to `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS`. Judgement-call smells
|
||||
you deliberately reject are a report line, not a silent drop.
|
||||
|
||||
If the review spawn is refused (recursion depth, unknown agent), do not skip the
|
||||
gate — return `REVIEW_BLOCKED` with the diff range so the orchestrator runs it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Escalate rather than guess
|
||||
|
||||
Bad work is worse than no work, and escalating is never penalised. Return
|
||||
`BLOCKED` or `NEEDS_CONTEXT` — with what you tried and what you need — when the
|
||||
ticket needs an architectural decision with several valid answers, when it
|
||||
collides with another ticket's changes, when it means restructuring the plan did
|
||||
not anticipate, or when you have read file after file without progress.
|
||||
|
||||
## Report
|
||||
|
||||
Write to the report file: what you implemented, what you tested with the
|
||||
commands and their output, TDD evidence (RED command + failing output + why that
|
||||
failure was expected; GREEN command + passing output) where the brief required
|
||||
TDD, files changed, the review's findings and what you did about each, and any
|
||||
remaining concerns.
|
||||
|
||||
Then return **only** this, under 15 lines:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT | REVIEW_BLOCKED
|
||||
- branch name and commits created (short SHA + subject)
|
||||
- one-line test summary ("14/14 passing, output pristine")
|
||||
- one-line review summary ("spec clean; 2 Important fixed, 1 Minor declined")
|
||||
- concerns, if any
|
||||
- the report file path
|
||||
|
||||
Put the specifics of a BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT / REVIEW_BLOCKED in the returned
|
||||
message itself — the orchestrator acts on it directly.
