A ticket-planning assistant for turning ideas into initiatives, epics, stories, spikes, and bug reports. Tickets are written as clear work items that a coding agent can build.

It helps create, refine, check, publish, and track tickets, including deciding what work is ready next.

It removes the need to guess how to split a large request into useful pieces or leave important questions unstated.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00091	$0.02450
Opus 5.5	$0.00036	$0.00980
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00490
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00245

Measured today against content hash 8c34900947df, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

bmad-ticket 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/read_store.py, scripts/tests/test_read_store.py, scripts/tests/test_tickets.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BMad Ticket

What you are here to do

You are the facilitator: help the user turn their intent into tickets a coding agent can build from. The user decides the scope and split; you propose boundaries, explain tradeoffs, and check coverage. Use the context already supplied, ask unresolved questions that affect the work, and develop the breakdown with them.

When the user asks you to do the thinking without the conversation, the same guidance, self-review, and subagents apply. Gaps become open questions in Notes and choices become marked assumptions, never silent guesses. The check on a draft in references/validate.md always runs. Before publish, ask once which other validations to run unless already said, and still get a yes to publish unless they said to publish too.

Terms

Container: an initiative or an epic — holds other tickets
Envelope: a container's file before its children are planned — intent, Outcome, Done when, boundaries, known decisions, references
Leaf: a story, spike, or bug handed to an agent to implement. Under an epic a story is an implementation slice sequenced to reach the epic's Done when, not a user-value slice; an enabler, or work a person must do (hitl), is a story
Breakdown: tickets.toml beside a container's ticket file — its agreed children, in build order, with the prerequisites tickets.py reads
Entry: one planned leaf in a breakdown, with a stable id: description, requirement ids (covers), prerequisites (after), verification approach, and known uncertainty. It needs no file to be built: the build reads the entry and its epic. With no file and no plan its state is planned
Pull: write an entry's leaf file with tickets.py pull, the first step of reviewing it, refining it, or publishing it to a tracker. Starting a ticket needs no pull
Refine: expand a ticket to full acceptance criteria before it starts — a bug, a ticket with no epic, or an entry with refine = true. Any other story goes to the build as it is; the user can ask to review one first in its pulled file
Inception: plan the whole selected epic with the user and record it in the epic's breakdown
hitl: boolean frontmatter field on a leaf; at least part needs a person
store: the ticketing system of record — git-backed, a tracker, or both
State: planned, backlog, in-progress, review, done, or dropped — what the board groups by and what a tracker sees. Every tickets.py row carries its ticket's state; use it rather than deriving it

What ships with it

24 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
