mill

A skill for launching ticketmill, a batch process that takes selected GitHub issues through planning, coding, testing, review, and pull-request creation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process a group of GitHub issues end to end, including research, implementation, quality checks, pull-request creation, and squash-merging into an integration branch.
Why use it?
It organizes many issue implementations into one logged and resumable run while leaving the final batch pull request for human review.

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

mill 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 2d 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.

mill: launch a ticketmill batch run

Runs the ticketmill engine. For each selected GitHub issue: research, contrarian-gated approach and plan, per-task implementation with quality loops, a test loop, PR creation, spec + code review loops, and a squash-merge into a batch integration branch. The run ends with ONE batch PR for a human to review and merge; the engine never merges to the base branch itself.

Hard preconditions: check these IN ORDER before doing anything else

  1. The Workflow tool must be available in this session. Check your available tools for a tool named Workflow that accepts a scriptPath input. If it is not available: STOP IMMEDIATELY. Tell the user:

    The ticketmill engine requires the Claude Code Workflow tool, which is not available in this session/plan. The engine cannot run without it.

    NEVER attempt to simulate, approximate, or hand-execute the batch pipeline yourself (no ad-hoc issue implementing, no manual worktree orchestration in place of the engine). The engine's value is its journaling, claims, circuit breakers, and resumability. An inline imitation has none of those and is strictly worse than not running at all.

  2. The target repo must have a profile at <repo-root>/.claude/ticketmill.json. If missing, stop and direct the user to run /ticketmill:mill-init first. Do not write a profile ad hoc: mill-init exists to verify the environment (doctor pass) before a profile is trusted.

  3. Locate the engine script, in this order:

    1. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/ticketmill.js (plugin install)
    2. <repo-root>/.claude/workflows/ticketmill.js (copied by mill-init)

    If neither exists, stop and direct the user to /ticketmill:mill-init.

Engine-owned paths need a clean root tree

If an issue's fix touches the ticketmill profile (.claude/ticketmill.json), the agent roster (.claude/agents/**), or the engine copy (.claude/workflows/ticketmill.js, .claude/scripts/ticketmill/**), check the root working tree before you launch. The engine works from each issue's own worktree, and that worktree only sees committed state. Uncommitted edits sitting in the root tree, like a freshly forged agent or a profile field you just added, are invisible to it.

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.

mill is a skill published in the GitHub repository aaddrick/ticketmill (15 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 3,682 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
