tracking-tickets

tracking-tickets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bostonaholic/team. It costs 23 tokens per session (830 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for managing a software task through its tracker and pull request. It explains when to mark work in progress or in review and how to link a pull request to a ticket.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing ticketed work, updating tracker states, or opening a pull request that should close its related issue after merging.
Why use it?
Ticket status and pull-request links can become inconsistent or close work at the wrong time. These rules keep the lifecycle connected without relying on manual ticket closure.

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

tracking-tickets 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.

Tracking Tickets

Canonical tracker rules for pipeline pickup, PR linking, review state, and merge. Entry points keep only tracker-specific calls.

Best-effort, tracker-agnostic, never blocking

Every tracker interaction below is best-effort and tracker-agnostic: if the project defines no tracker-move mechanism (e.g. a free-form description with no ticket, or a tracker the environment cannot reach), skip silently and continue. Never block the pipeline on a tracker update.

Pickup: move the ticket to in-progress

When a run resolves its input to a ticket id or issue, move that ticket to its tracker's in-progress state. This is the first action of the run, before any other work begins.

When the PR phase opens a pull request and 1-task.md's frontmatter has ticketId set, link the PR to the ticket. The tracker then closes the ticket when the PR merges, and any board automation moves it to its done state. On GitHub, render the link as a closing line emitted as the final line of the PR body (Closes #<n>). For another tracker use its PR↔issue link mechanism.

Interpreting ticketId

ticketId is interpreted where it is consumed — at PR-open time:

  • A bare number → Closes #<n> (a GitHub issue in the origin repo).
  • A qualified reference (owner/repo#<n>) or an issue URL → Closes followed by that value substituted in — e.g. Closes https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/42.
  • Any other non-null shape still goes in verbatim as the footer text, as Closes plus the value. Note the unrecognized shape in the completion report, and never block on it. On GitHub such a value (e.g. Closes ENG-1234) auto-closes nothing — the footer is then a legible reference only, and the tracker-move rules on this page are what advance the ticket.
  • Null, absent, empty, or whitespace-only → omit the closing line entirely. No placeholder, no empty footer.

Multi-repo: the home PR alone closes the ticket

In multi-repo mode, only the home repo's PR carries the closing keyword (Closes #<n>). The ticket then closes exactly once, when the home PR merges. Companion PRs carry a non-closing reference to the issue in the same footer position, using the unambiguous qualified form (owner/repo#<n> or the issue URL) — for example:

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.
