/create-ticket — Create a tracked ticket

Create a new ticket in the project's local ticket system.

Steps

1. Determine the next ticket number:

   • Read .claude/tickets/ticket-list.md
   • Find the highest existing TICKET-NNN number
   • Increment by 1

2. Gather ticket details. If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the title. Then determine:

   • Title: short, descriptive (from arguments or ask the user)
   • Priority: High / Medium / Low
   • Description: what needs to be done and why
   • Acceptance criteria: specific, verifiable conditions

3. Read the ticket template:

   .claude/tickets/TICKET-000-template.md
   

4. Create the ticket file at:

   .claude/tickets/TICKET-NNN-kebab-case-title.md
   

5. Update .claude/tickets/ticket-list.md:

   • Add the new ticket to the appropriate priority section
   • Status: 🔴 Todo

6. Report:

   Created: .claude/tickets/TICKET-NNN-<title>.md
   Priority: <priority>
   Status: 🔴 Todo
   
   Acceptance Criteria:
   - [ ] <criterion 1>
   - [ ] <criterion 2>
   

Notes

• Use today's date for the Created field
• Keep titles under 60 characters
• Acceptance criteria must be objectively verifiable — not vague ("works well")
• Always update ticket-list.md when creating a ticket
• If the project also uses Linear, include the Linear issue ID if one exists
