ticket-start

ticket-start is a command for Claude Code from lancejames221b/agent-hivemind. It costs 13 tokens per session (801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for beginning work on a ticket with automatic context and dependency checks. A ticket is a tracked piece of work in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read a ticket's status, search and update shared hAIveMind memory, identify blockers, link dependencies, and record lessons from similar work.
Why use it?
It gathers related information and records the planned work before implementation, so agents start with shared context.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ticket-start scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ticket-start - Begin Ticket Work with Hooks

Purpose

Start work on a ticket with automatic pre-work synchronization hooks that capture context, check related memories, and store work intentions in the hAIveMind collective.

When to Use

  • Begin New Work: Starting any ticket or task
  • Context Capture: Automatically gather related information
  • Memory Integration: Link ticket work to collective knowledge
  • Agent Coordination: Notify other agents of work beginning

Syntax

ticket-start <ticket_id> [project_id] [options]

Features

Automatic Pre-Work Hooks

When you start a ticket, the system automatically:

  1. Reads ticket description and current status
  2. Checks hAIveMind memory for related context
  3. Stores work intention with expected outcomes
  4. Identifies dependencies and blocking issues
  5. Reviews lessons learned from similar work

Memory Integration

  • Searches collective memory for related work
  • Stores work context for other agents
  • Links dependencies and relationships
  • Captures lessons learned from similar tickets

Real-World Examples

Start Web Testing Ticket

ticket-start WEBTESTS-1 memory-mcp-project

Automatic Actions:

  • Reads WEBTESTS-1 ticket details
  • Searches for related web testing memories
  • Stores intention to start web testing work
  • Checks for UI/UX testing dependencies
  • Reviews lessons from previous web testing

Start API Development

ticket-start API-DEV-5 ewitness-project --verbose

Automatic Actions:

  • Captures API development context
  • Links to related API memories
  • Stores development work intention
  • Identifies authentication dependencies
  • Reviews API development best practices

Resume Previous Work

ticket-start INFRA-3 --resume

Automatic Actions:

  • Checks previous work context
  • Reviews any blocking issues resolved
  • Updates work intention
  • Syncs with latest infrastructure state

Expected Output

🚀 Starting Work on Ticket: WEBTESTS-1
🔄 Executing Pre-Work Synchronization Hooks...

✅ Pre-Work Hook Results:
   • pre_work_hook (0.245s)

📋 Ticket Context Captured:
   • Title: "Login form validation testing"
   • Status: todo → inprogress
   • Project: memory-mcp-project

🧠 Memory Integration:
   • Related memories found: 7
   • Dependencies identified: 2
   • Lessons learned retrieved: 3

💾 Work intention stored in hAIveMind collective
🤖 Other agents notified of work beginning

🎯 Ready to begin work! Use ticket-complete when finished.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
