to-tickets

to-tickets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinvcn/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,217 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning a plan, specification, or conversation into small tickets, where each ticket is a complete vertical slice of work and lists the tickets that must come first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break feature work into independently verifiable tickets, record blockers, and handle broad mechanical refactors with an expand-and-contract sequence.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being split into isolated database, API, or interface tasks that cannot be demonstrated on their own. The dependency links make the order of work clear.

About the project

mattpocock-skills-zh-CN is a Simplified Chinese localization of a collection of reusable instructions for coding agents. Chinese-speaking developers use the translated skills to support engineering workflows while keeping their original commands, paths, identifiers, and behavior. The catalogue contains the localized skills, instructions, and plugin components.

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

to-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 13d 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

To Tickets

把 plan、spec 或 conversation 拆成一组 tickets:tracer-bullet vertical slices,每个 ticket 都声明 block 它的 tickets。

Issue tracker 和 triage label vocabulary 应该已经提供;如果没有,运行 /setup-matt-pocock-skills

Process

1. Gather context

使用 conversation context 中已经存在的内容。如果用户把 reference(spec path、issue number 或 URL)作为参数传入,获取并完整读取其 body 和 comments。

2. Explore the codebase (optional)

如果还没有探索 codebase,先了解 code 当前状态。Ticket title 和 description 应使用项目 domain glossary vocabulary,并遵守相关 ADRs。

寻找 prefactor code、让 implementation 更容易的机会。“Make the change easy, then make the easy change.”

3. Draft vertical slices

把工作拆成 tracer bullet tickets。

  • 每个 slice 都要贯穿每一层(schema、API、UI、tests)形成窄而完整的路径;必须是 vertical slice,不是某一层的 horizontal slice
  • 完成的 slice 可独立 demo 或 verify
  • 每个 slice 的大小必须能放进一个 fresh context window
  • 任何 prefactoring 都应先完成

为每个 ticket 给出 blocking edges:它开始前必须完成的其他 tickets。没有 blockers 的 ticket 可以立即开始。

Wide refactors 是 vertical slicing 的例外。 Wide refactor 是一个影响整个 codebase 的 mechanical change,例如 rename column 或 retype shared symbol;一次 edit 会破坏成千上万 call sites,无法让任何 vertical slice 独立保持 green。不要强行做成 tracer bullet;应按 expand–contract 排序。先 expand:在旧形式旁加入新形式,保持一切正常。再按 blast radius 分批迁移 call sites(按 package、directory 等),每批一个 ticket,并被 expand block;旧形式仍存在,因此 CI 每批都保持 green。最后 contract:一旦没有 caller 残留,就在被所有 migrate batches block 的 ticket 中删除旧形式。如果连单独 batches 也不能保持 green,仍保留这个 sequence,但让它们共享 integration branch,并全部 block 最后的 integrate-and-verify ticket;只在最后承诺 green。

4. Quiz the user

把建议的拆分作为 numbered list 展示。每个 ticket 包含:

  • Title:简短的描述性名称
  • Blocked by:必须先完成的其他 tickets(如有)
  • What it delivers:这个 ticket 打通的 end-to-end behaviour

询问用户:

  • Granularity 是否合适(太粗或太细)?
  • Blocking edges 是否正确,每个 ticket 是否只依赖真正 gate 它的 tickets?
  • 是否应继续合并或拆分 tickets?

迭代到用户批准拆分。

5. Publish the tickets to the configured tracker

发布已批准的 tickets。具体方式取决于 /setup-matt-pocock-skills 配置的 tracker;tickets 相同,只有 blocking edges 的形状不同:

What ships with it

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.
