  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ticket Workpad is an agent skill from PacificStudio/openase. Maintain the persistent ticket work log comment on the current ticket and use it as the execution log.

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.

The repository describes itself as: Ticket-Driven Automated Software Engineering. OpenASE is an all-in-one platform that turns tickets into working code — AI agents automatically pick up tickets, execute workflows… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/ticket-workpad”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e530faf. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

Ticket Workpad loads about 678 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~678

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.

Ticket Workpad

The Workpad is the single persistent progress board for the current ticket. Bind this skill to ticket workflows that need long-running execution and resume support so agents consistently write durable state into one persistent comment instead of scattering it across ephemeral context.

Its job is not to expose platform APIs directly. It defines a persistence convention on top of primitive platform comments:

  • The platform base comes from the openase-platform skill: ticket comment list/create/update.
  • ticket-workpad defines which comment counts as the workpad, how to upsert it idempotently, and which sections should be maintained.
  • This lets later agents recover execution state from the same workpad comment even after runtime restarts, rescheduling, or lost conversation context.

Workpad upsert is no longer a standalone CLI subcommand. Call the injected openase-platform helper script instead; it will add the standard heading automatically and reuse or update the persistent comment.

Recommended usage:

bash
cat <<'EOF' >/tmp/workpad.md
Environment
- <host>:<abs-workdir>@<short-sha>

Plan
- step 1
- step 2

Progress
- inspecting current implementation

Validation
- not run yet

Notes
- assumptions or blockers

Execution rules:

  • Write the first workpad before you start changing code. Do not backfill it afterward.
  • Update the same comment after each major phase instead of creating new comments repeatedly.
  • Continuously maintain at least Plan, Progress, Validation, and Notes.
  • Treat the workpad as the resume point across runtimes and record the information the next agent will actually need, not a one-off chat summary.
  • If the workflow binds this skill, maintaining the workpad is mandatory. It is part of the execution loop, not optional decoration.
  • If you are blocked, record the blocker and missing prerequisites in the workpad instead of exiting silently.
