mdt-cli

A command-line skill for working with Markdown Tickets, a ticket system that stores project work in Markdown files. It supports looking up projects and tickets and viewing their details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view, list, search, create, or update tickets and their attributes from the terminal.
Why use it?
It provides quick terminal access to ticket information without needing a separate tool connection for each lookup.

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

mdt-cli 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

mdt-cli CLI

Terminal tool for Markdown Ticket management. Binary: mdt-cli.

Key Resolution

All ticket commands accept flexible key forms:

Input Resolves to
12 {PROJECT}-012 (from detected project)
ABC-12 ABC-012 (normalized, cross-project)

Bare numbers and full keys can be used directly: mdt-cli 12 views the ticket.

View

mdt-cli <key>                 # Bare shortcut
mdt-cli ticket get <key>      # Canonical form

Prints ticket title, labeled metadata (status, type, priority, phase, assignee, dates), and path. If the ticket has a CR directory with subdocuments, lists them below the path.

List

mdt-cli list                  # Shortcut
mdt-cli ls                    # Shortcut
mdt-cli ticket list           # Canonical form
mdt-cli ticket list --project <code>  # List another project's tickets

Shows up to 10 tickets sorted newest-first. Each ticket shows key + title on one line, then an indented metadata row.

Options:

  • --all — show every ticket
  • --limit N — override default count
  • --files — file paths only
  • --info — ticket info without paths
  • --json — parseable output for LLM consumption
  • -p, --project <code> — list tickets from a different project

Filters — positional key=value args with AND across fields, comma-separated fuzzy match within a field:

mdt-cli list status=impl priority=high,critical

Filterable fields: status, priority, type, level, assignee, epic/phase. (level accepts aliases: e→epic, t→ticket.)

Create

mdt-cli create <type>[/<priority>] '<title>' [slug]
mdt-cli ticket create --project <code> feature 'Add dark mode'
mdt-cli ticket create --stdin feature 'Add dark mode' <<'EOF'
## Problem
Users need a dark theme option.
EOF

For an enabled [project.cloudSync] binding, ticket create uses the shared cloud coordinator automatically. It requires a live Access credential and does not allocate a local fallback number. Dedicated cloud project/member management commands are owned by MDT-202.

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.
