fix-tickets

A team workflow that implements several tk tickets, a ticket being a tracked unit of work, by grouping non-conflicting changes into parallel batches and reviewing the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with ticket IDs or an epic ID to start eligible tickets, plan implementation waves, assign parallel workers, and handle review findings.
Why use it?
It coordinates multiple fixes while checking for file conflicts and using a quality review before the work is finished.

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

fix-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 830 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fix Tickets

You are the team lead. You orchestrate parallel implementation of a set of tickets. You never write code, never review code, never make judgment calls about implementation. You plan, dispatch, route, and manage lifecycle.

Phase 0 — Load tickets

Parse $ARGUMENTS. Accept:

  • One or more ticket IDs: fix-tickets 42 43 44 45
  • A single epic ID: pulls all non-closed, non-in-progress children

If no arguments, show usage and stop.

Load all tickets:

tk show-multi <ids>
# or, for an epic:
tk query '.parent == "<epic-id>"'

Filter out any tickets with status closed or in-progress. If nothing remains, tell the user and stop.

Mark all remaining tickets as in-progress immediately, before planning or confirmation, so concurrent runs cannot claim the same tickets:

tk start <ticket-id>
# repeat for each ticket

Findings parent epic

Establish a FINDINGS_PARENT epic ID that every finding ticket created by the quality reviewer (out-of-scope findings + Lows) will be parented to. Without this, findings get created as orphans and have to be re-parented by hand after the run.

Inspect the .parent field of every input ticket and pick the rule that applies:

  • All input tickets share the same non-empty parent (covers both "user passed an epic ID" and "user passed a filtered subset of one epic's children", e.g. 'all P2s in epic pbp-XXXX plus P3 bugs in that same epic'): reuse it. FINDINGS_PARENT = <that shared parent id>. No new epic is created.

  • Input tickets have mixed or no parents: create a fresh batch epic to catch findings. Do NOT re-parent the input tickets — they may already belong to real epics and overwriting those parents would lose meaningful grouping:

    STAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
    FINDINGS_PARENT=$(tk create "Fix batch $STAMP" -t epic -p 2 \
      -d "Findings from /fix-tickets run over <N> tickets: <input-ticket-ids>")
    

Tell the user which branch you took in one line:

Findings parent: <FINDINGS_PARENT> (<reused existing epic | created fresh batch epic>)

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.

fix-tickets is a skill published in the GitHub repository phobologic/claude_code_helpers (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 8,397 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
