What it does

Plan To Tickets is an agent skill from AnastasiyaW/codex-claude-code-config. Use when a large plan, PRD, feature, refactor, research plan, or multi-step coding task must be split into small ready-for-agent tickets with acceptance criteria, verification commands, blockers, and vertical tracer-bullet slices. Do not use for small tasks that should be implemented directly, single-bug fixes, or chat-only summaries.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories, Debugging and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code, Codex, and multi-agent configuration system: principles, hooks, skills, and workflow patterns for AI-assisted development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Multi-step coding task must be split into small ready-for-agent tickets with acceptance criteria
  • Verification commands
  • Vertical tracer-bullet slices
  • Small tasks that should be implemented directly

Example prompts

  • “/plan-to-tickets”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the plan/spec and current repo context needed to avoid fake tickets.
  2. Draft ticket files in dependency order.
  3. Run the validator
  4. Fix every validator failure before claiming the ticket split is ready.
  5. Report the ticket directory and the count of ready tickets.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 67709af. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Plan To Tickets loads about 683 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 307 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~683

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when a large plan, PRD, feature, refactor, research plan, or multi-step coding task must be split into small ready-for-agent tickets with acceptance criteria, verification commands, blockers, and vertical tracer-bullet slices. Do not use for small tasks that should be implemented directly, single-bug fixes, or chat-only summaries.

Plan To Tickets

Turn a large plan into small, independently executable tickets. Use this before handing a broad plan to agents, before long autonomous work, or when the user asks for tickets/issues/slices.

Output Location

If no issue tracker is explicitly selected, write local tickets under:

<project>/.agent/tickets/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>/

Each ticket is one Markdown file:

TICKET-001-short-slug.md

Required Ticket Shape

Each ticket must include these headings exactly:

  • ## Status
  • ## Parent
  • ## What To Build
  • ## Acceptance Criteria
  • ## Verification
  • ## Blocked By
  • ## Notes

## Status must contain ready-for-agent only when all acceptance criteria and verification steps are concrete.

## Acceptance Criteria must contain checklist items (- [ ] ...).

## Verification must contain at least one command, script, test, artifact check, or explicit manual-review gate.

Slicing Rules

  • Prefer vertical tracer bullets: a narrow complete path through the required layers, not "all backend" then "all UI" then "all tests".
  • A ticket must be independently verifiable.
  • Put prefactoring first only when it makes a later slice smaller or safer.
  • Keep dependencies explicit in ## Blocked By; write None when it can start immediately.
  • Do not include stale-prone file paths unless the path is already a stable contract or current codebase evidence.
  • Do not publish external tracker issues unless the user asked for that tracker.

Workflow

  1. Read the plan/spec and current repo context needed to avoid fake tickets.
  2. Draft ticket files in dependency order.
  3. Run the validator:
powershell
python "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\claude-code-config\scripts\validate_agent_tickets.py" --tickets-dir <ticket-dir>
  1. Fix every validator failure before claiming the ticket split is ready.
  2. Report the ticket directory and the count of ready tickets.

Gotchas

  • Horizontal tickets overload later agents. If a ticket cannot be verified alone, split it differently.
  • "Implement feature" is not an acceptance criterion. ACs must describe observable behavior or artifacts.
  • "Run tests" alone is weak verification. Name the test command or the artifact that proves success.
  • Do not use this to postpone work. Ticketization is for large plans; small tasks should be implemented directly.
