ticket-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,443 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing focused engineering tickets with a clear action, technical context, acceptance criteria, effort estimate, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break features, fixes, refactors, or maintenance work into tickets that can be assigned and implemented.
Why use it?
It helps engineers understand exactly what needs to change, why it matters, and how to tell when the work is complete.

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

ticket-writing 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 9d 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ticket Writing

Before you start

Gather the following from the user:

  1. What needs to be built/changed? (Feature, fix, refactor, or chore)
  2. Why? (Link to PRD, user report, incident, or business goal)
  3. What's the tech stack? (Languages, frameworks, database, hosting)
  4. What's the team context? (How familiar is the team with this area of the codebase?)

If the user gives you a vague request ("write tickets for search"), push back: "What specific behavior should search have? What does the user see today vs. what should they see?"

Ticket template

Use the following template for every ticket:


Title

Use the format: [Action verb] [specific thing] [context]

Good: "Add rate limiting to /api/search endpoint (10 req/s per user)" Bad: "Fix search" or "Search improvements" or "Rate limiting"

Context

2-3 sentences explaining WHY this work matters. Link to the parent epic, PRD, or incident. The engineer should understand the business motivation without reading another document.

The /api/search endpoint currently has no rate limiting, which allowed a single
user to generate 50k requests in an hour last Tuesday (INC-234), degrading
search performance for all users. This ticket adds per-user rate limiting to
prevent abuse while maintaining normal usage patterns.

Acceptance Criteria

Write specific, testable conditions. Use the format:

- [ ] Given [precondition], when [action], then [expected result]
- [ ] Given a user has made 10 requests in the last second,
      when they make an 11th request,
      then they receive a 429 response with a Retry-After header
- [ ] Given a user has been rate-limited,
      when the rate limit window expires,
      then their next request succeeds normally
- [ ] Rate limit configuration (requests per second, window size)
      is stored in environment variables, not hardcoded

Rules for acceptance criteria:

  • Every criterion must be independently verifiable
  • Include both the happy path AND edge cases
  • Include error/failure states explicitly
  • If there are performance requirements, state them with numbers

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.
