writing-tickets

writing-tickets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from d-mariano/spicyclaude. It costs 123 tokens per session (768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for turning work into clear tickets, such as bugs, tasks, user stories, research spikes, or larger epics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft or refine issues, split work into suitable ticket types, ask about missing details, and add useful links and code references.
Why use it?
It helps prevent vague work descriptions and unclear expectations. Each ticket records observable acceptance criteria and what is outside its scope.

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

writing-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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ticket Authoring

Pick the issue type that fits the work, then read the sub-file for the template and type-specific guidance before drafting.

Issue Types

  • Epic — multi-sprint features, typically born from a PRD. Use on request. See epic.md
  • Spike — research or PoC work that may produce more issues. See spike.md
  • Story — user-facing features and behaviour changes. See story.md
  • Task — technical or operational work. See task.md
  • Bug — defects. See bug.md

Definitions

  • Acceptance Criteria: observable behaviour or deliverables. Testable from the outside.
  • Engineering Notes: how-to. Libraries, patterns, code pointers, citations.

Steps

  • ALWAYS use the template from the matching sub-file
  • If there are any gaps in the details, push back with clarifying questions before drafting
  • Create one or more tickets to capture the work; split when scope spans types
  • Always include reference and resource links in Engineering Notes and Summary where applicable
  • When referencing code or files, pair the short path with a SHA-pinned repo permalink — mechanics in references/code-references.md. Tickets must stand on their own
  • Hard gate: load-bearing content that exists only locally or in this conversation (uncommitted docs, local logs, decisions made in chat) blocks the ticket — commit + permalink, upload + link, or inline it before drafting
  • Do not write large chunks of tests or novels
  • Communicate effectively and keep it to the point
  • Conduct any web searches needed for frameworks in use, unless the usage examples in code are telling enough
  • Refer to usage examples and best practices when found
  • Research if third-party packages in use already provide required types and explicitly call this out
  • If alternative approaches are identified and you have a preference, only mention your preference
  • Favour simplicity and elegance
  • Cite sources

What ships with it

8 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.
