  • An issue tracker

What it does

To Tickets is an agent skill from stevesolun/ctx. Break a plan, spec, or conversation into dependency-aware, independently verifiable tickets. Use explicitly when the user wants work sliced for local planning or an issue tracker.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `TICKET-FORMAT.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Issue triage. The repository describes itself as: CTX Fit finds the cheapest AI coding setup that reliably works on your repository, then applies the winner as a reviewable change. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants work sliced for local planning
  • An issue tracker

Example prompts

  • “/to-tickets”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11b582a. 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.

    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

To Tickets loads about 416 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~416

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.

Create tickets

Read the source plan, spec, issue, or conversation and inspect enough of the repository to avoid fictional boundaries. Use the project's established domain language and preserve relevant architectural decisions.

Prefer narrow vertical slices that deliver observable behavior and can be verified independently. Size work for the actual team and risk rather than a fixed context-window rule. Use horizontal or mechanical slices when the change cannot remain coherent vertically.

Model only real blocking edges. Tickets without blockers form the available frontier and may proceed concurrently. For a broad compatibility migration, consider an expand–migrate–contract sequence so intermediate states remain usable.

Each ticket should communicate:

  • the behavior or outcome it delivers;
  • concrete acceptance criteria;
  • genuine dependencies;
  • relevant constraints or source references; and
  • scope boundaries when adjacent work is easy to confuse.

Use the ticket format when the destination has no stronger convention. Avoid brittle line numbers and implementation recipes unless the ticket is intentionally mechanical.

Present a draft when granularity or dependencies remain uncertain. Publish or write tickets only when requested and authorized, following the configured tracker's native dependency model. Do not alter a parent item or apply workflow labels unless that action is part of the request.
