Ticket Pipeline
Authoritative behavior is defined in prompt.md; SKILL.md is descriptive. When docs
conflict, prompt.md wins.
Overview
Chain existing skills into an autonomous per-ticket pipeline: pre_flight -> decision_context_load -> conflict_gate -> implement -> local_review -> create_pr -> ci_watch -> pr_review_loop -> auto_merge. Slack notifications fire at each phase transition. Policy switches (not agent judgment) control auto-advance.
Cross-repo detection: When implementation touches files in multiple repos, the pipeline no longer hard-stops. Instead it invokes decompose-epic to create per-repo sub-tickets, posts a Slack MEDIUM_RISK gate (10-min timeout), then hands off to epic-team for parallel execution.
Announce at start: "I'm using the ticket-pipeline skill to run the pipeline for {ticket_id}."
Auto-Detection (OMN-2614)
When no pipeline state file exists and neither --skip-to nor --force-run is specified, the
pipeline probes GitHub before the phase loop and infers the correct starting phase automatically.
Phase inference table:
GitHub State
Starting Phase
Branch exists on remote, no PR
local_review
PR open, CI pending / in-progress / failing
ci_watch
PR open, CI passing, not yet approved
pr_review_loop
PR open, CI passing, approved
auto_merge
PR already merged
skip ticket (mark Done, exit)
No branch, no PR
implement (normal fresh start)
Behavior notes:
Detection runs only once on a fresh state file (no existing state.yaml).
When an open PR is found, pr_number and pr_url are pre-populated into
phases.create_pr.artifacts so Phase 3 detects the existing PR and skips creation.
All phases prior to the detected start phase are marked complete with the current timestamp
(inferred from GitHub state — no checkpoint files are created for them).
--skip-to PHASE overrides auto-detection when provided explicitly.
--force-run bypasses auto-detection entirely and starts from implement.
If the GitHub repo slug cannot be determined, detection is skipped entirely. If individual
queries (PR list, CI checks) fail, detection degrades gracefully — a failed CI query defaults
to ci_watch (the safe choice for any open PR).
Limitations
No checkpoint artifacts for skipped phases: When auto-detection skips to (e.g.) ci_watch,
prior phases are marked complete with timestamps but no checkpoint files are written.
A subsequent --skip-to <earlier-phase> on the same ticket will fail checkpoint validation for those phases.
Use --force-run to restart from scratch if needed.
Detection skipped when GitHub is unreachable: If the repo slug cannot be determined
or gh returns an auth error, detection is skipped entirely and the pipeline starts
from implement (normal fresh-run behavior).
The pipeline runs without an interactive Claude Code session using claude -p (print mode).
This is the primary trigger surface for CLI automation, Slack bots, and webhook handlers.

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."export GITHUB_TOKEN="..."export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="..."export LINEAR_API_KEY="..."
claude -p "Run ticket-pipeline for OMN-1234" \
--allowedTools "Bash,Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep,mcp__linear-server__*,mcp__slack__*"
Authentication in headless mode
ONEX_RUN_ID is mandatory. It serves as the correlation key written to the pipeline ledger
(~/.claude/pipelines/ledger.json) and state file (~/.claude/pipelines/{ticket_id}/state.yaml).
Without it the pipeline cannot distinguish runs and will refuse to start.
MCP server auth is sourced from the environment at startup:
Linear: LINEAR_API_KEY (or the credential set in ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json)
Slack: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
GitHub: GITHUB_TOKEN (used by the gh CLI, not an MCP server)
Resume after rate limits
Checkpoints are written to ~/.claude/pipelines/{ticket_id}/state.yaml after every phase
transition. If the claude -p process is interrupted (rate limit, network drop, process kill),
resume from the last completed phase:
# Resume from where the pipeline stopped
claude -p "Run ticket-pipeline for OMN-1234 --skip-to ci_watch" \
--allowedTools "Bash,Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep,mcp__linear-server__*,mcp__slack__*"
Auto-detection (OMN-2614) will also pick up the correct phase automatically when no
--skip-to flag is provided and a state file already exists.

Phase 0: pre_flight
Runs pre-commit hooks + mypy on clean checkout
Classifies pre-existing issues as AUTO-FIX or DEFER
AUTO-FIX: <=10 files, same subsystem, low-risk → fix, commit as chore(pre-existing): fix pre-existing issues [OMN-XXXX]
DEFER: creates Linear sub-ticket, notes in PR description
AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 0.5
Phase 0.5: DecisionContextLoader (after intake)
After ticket intake completes and before implementation begins, the pipeline loads active
architectural decisions from the Decision Store and injects them into agent context.
Query parameters:
NodeDecisionStoreQueryCompute:
domain: (all domains relevant to ticket repo)
scope_services: [ticket.repo_slug]
scope_services_mode: ANY
epic_id: ticket.epic_id (if set; omit if ticket has no parent epic)
status: ACTIVE
Injection format — inject as a structured block, not prose:
--- ACTIVE DECISIONS ---
[TECH_STACK_CHOICE/architecture] Use Kafka for all cross-service async comms
Rationale: Decouples producers from consumers; fits existing Redpanda infra
Rejected: Direct HTTP → tight coupling | gRPC → overkill
Decision ID: <uuid>
[NAMING_CONVENTION/api] All REST endpoints use snake_case path segments
Rationale: Consistency with existing API surface
Rejected: camelCase → breaks existing client contracts
Decision ID: <uuid>
---
When no decisions match scope: inject an empty block — do not skip injection:
--- ACTIVE DECISIONS ---
No active decisions for this scope.
---
Agent instruction: The agent is instructed to flag any implementation choice that
contradicts an injected decision before proceeding. Contradictions trigger a Slack
MEDIUM_RISK notification and require human confirmation to continue.
Before dispatching the implementation agent, the pipeline checks whether any decisions
declared in the ticket YAML contract conflict with existing active decisions.
For each decision in ticket.contract.decisions:
Run check-conflicts (NodeDecisionStoreQueryCompute structural check)
→ synchronous pure function, no I/O side effects
→ returns: severity (HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW), conflicting_decision_ids, explanation
Severity routing:
HIGH → post Slack HIGH_RISK gate (blocks pipeline):
[HIGH_RISK] Structural conflict detected for {ticket_id}
Decision: {new_decision_summary}
Conflicts with: {existing_decision_id} — {existing_decision_summary}
Explanation: {explanation}
Reply "proceed {ticket_id}" to override, or "hold {ticket_id}" to pause.
Pipeline waits for operator reply before continuing. "proceed" → advance to Phase 1.
"hold" → pipeline exits with status: held_conflict.
MEDIUM → post Slack MEDIUM_RISK notification, continue automatically to Phase 1
LOW → log only (no Slack), continue automatically to Phase 1
When ticket has no decisions: block: skip this phase entirely, advance directly to Phase 1.
AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 1
Phase 1: implement
Dispatches ticket-work to a polymorphic agent via Task() (own context window)
Human gates still fire for questions/spec within the agent
Cross-repo detection (see below): invokes decompose-epic and hands off to epic-team instead of hard-stopping
Slack: notification.blocked when waiting for human input
AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 2 (single-repo only)
Phase 1b: cross_repo_split (inline in orchestrator)
When cross-repo changes are detected during Phase 1:
ticket-pipeline OMN-XXXX
→ During Phase 1 (implement), agent detects cross-repo dependency
[OLD] stop_on_cross_repo: true → Hard-stop: "Manual intervention required."
[NEW] → Invoke decompose-epic to split OMN-XXXX into per-repo sub-tickets
→ Create sub-tickets in Linear (one per repo affected)
→ Post Slack MEDIUM_RISK gate (10-min timeout):
"[MEDIUM_RISK] OMN-XXXX requires cross-repo work.
Decomposed into N sub-tickets. Handing off to epic-team.
Reply 'reject' within 10 min."
→ Silence (10 min): invoke epic-team with parent epic OMN-XXXX
→ epic-team assigns sub-tickets to workers in correct repos
→ ticket-pipeline exits (epic-team owns execution from here)
→ 'reject' reply: revert to hard-stop behavior, notify Slack
Cross-repo detection heuristic: Implementation touches files in repos not matching the ticket's labeled repo (from ~/.claude/epic-team/repo_manifest.yaml).
Phase 2: local_review
Dispatches local-review to a polymorphic agent via Task() (own context window)
Autonomous: loops until clean or policy limits hit
Requires 2 consecutive confirmed-clean runs with stable run signature before advancing
Stop on: 0 blocking issues (confirmed by 2 clean runs), max iterations, repeat issues, new major after iteration 1
AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 3 (only if quality gate passed: 2 confirmed-clean runs)
Phase 3: create_pr
Runs inline in orchestrator (lightweight git/gh operations)
Idempotent: skips creation if PR already exists on branch
Pushes branch, creates PR via gh, updates Linear status
AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 4
Phase 4: ci_watch
This phase is non-blocking. Authoritative behavior is defined in prompt.md lines 2362–2414.
Enables GitHub auto-merge on the PR (idempotent)
Takes a single quick snapshot of CI checks (one gh pr checks call — no polling)
If all checks are passing or pending: records status: auto_merge_pending and advances immediately
If any checks are already failing: dispatches ci-watch as a background agent (run_in_background=True) to fix failures, then advances immediately without awaiting the result
Always AUTO-ADVANCES to Phase 5 — phase completes in seconds, not minutes
ci_watch_timeout_minutes and max_ci_fix_cycles are pass-through args forwarded to the background ci-watch agent; they are not pipeline-blocking timers
Phase 5: pr_review_loop
Invokes pr-watch sub-skill (OMN-2524) with configured policy
pr-watch polls gh pr reviews every 10 minutes
Auto-invokes pr-review-dev on CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews, pushes fixes, re-requests review
With --auto-merge flag: merges immediately without gate
All three merge conditions must be met before proceeding:
CI passing (all required checks conclusion: success)
At least 1 approved review, no current CHANGES_REQUESTED
No unresolved review comments
Returns: status: merged | held | failed
On merged: clear ticket-run ledger entry, post Slack "merged", update Linear to Done
On held: pipeline exits cleanly; held is not a terminal state — the pipeline resumes when a human replies "merge" to the Slack HIGH_RISK gate. merge_gate_timeout_hours (default 48h) controls how long the gate stays open before expiring. On expiry, the ledger entry is cleared and a new pipeline run is required.
On failed: post Slack MEDIUM_RISK gate, stop pipeline

OR cross_repo_detector.py identifies imports/references to modules in different repos
Split Behavior
Phase 1 cross-repo detected:
1. Stop ticket-work agent (don't commit cross-repo changes)
2. Create parent epic if OMN-XXXX is a ticket (not already an epic)
OR use existing parent epic ID
3. Invoke decompose-epic --parent {parent_id} --repos {detected_repos}
→ Creates per-repo sub-tickets as children
4. Post Slack MEDIUM_RISK gate:
"[MEDIUM_RISK] ticket-pipeline: Cross-repo work detected for {ticket_id}
Decomposed into {N} sub-tickets for repos: {repo_list}
Handing off to epic-team in 10 minutes.
Reply 'reject' to revert to hard-stop behavior."
5. On silence (10 min): invoke epic-team {parent_epic_id}
6. On 'reject': hard-stop with error message, clear ledger
decompose-epic Dispatch for Cross-Repo
Task(
subagent_type="onex:polymorphic-agent",
description="ticket-pipeline: cross-repo split for {ticket_id}",
prompt="Cross-repo changes detected for {ticket_id}.
Invoke: Skill(skill=\"onex:decompose-epic\",
args=\"{parent_epic_id} --repos {comma_separated_repo_names}\")
Read the ModelSkillResult from ~/.claude/skill-results/{context_id}/decompose-epic.json
Report back with: created_tickets (list), repos_affected."
)
State Management
Pipeline state is stored at ~/.claude/pipelines/{ticket_id}/state.yaml as the primary state machine. Linear ticket gets a compact summary mirror (run_id, current phase, blocked reason, artifacts).
Ticket-Run Ledger
Prevents duplicate pipeline runs. Stored at ~/.claude/pipelines/ledger.json:
Entry cleared when pipeline reaches terminal state (merged, failed, capped, cross-repo-split, timeout)
held is a non-terminal waiting state (Phase 6 HIGH_RISK gate): the ledger entry is not cleared, preventing duplicate runs while awaiting human "merge" reply. Entry clears on merge or merge_gate_timeout_hours expiry.
On new invocation: check ledger first; if entry exists → post "already running" to Slack and exit 0
--force-run breaks stale lock
Dry Run Mode
--dry-run executes phase logic, logs all decisions, and writes state (marked dry_run: true), but does NOT commit, push, create PRs, or update Linear status. Slack notifications are prefixed with [DRY RUN].
Maximum Damage Assessment
If pipeline runs unattended with --auto-merge, worst case:
Pushes code to main via squash-merge — can be reverted
Deletes feature branch — recreatable from merge commit
Creates sub-tickets for cross-repo work — deleteable
Hands off to epic-team for parallel execution — epic-team has its own gates
Sends Slack notifications — ignorable
Without --auto-merge (default): pipeline halts at Phase 6 waiting for explicit "merge" reply.

Dispatch Contracts (Execution-Critical)
This section governs how you execute the pipeline. Follow it exactly.
You are an orchestrator. You coordinate phase transitions, state persistence, and policy checks.
You do NOT implement, review, or fix code yourself. Heavy phases run in separate agents via Task().
Rule: The coordinator must NEVER call Edit(), Write(), or Bash(code-modifying commands) directly.
If code changes are needed, dispatch a polymorphic agent.
No dispatch needed. The orchestrator runs pre-commit hooks and mypy directly, classifies issues, and auto-fixes or defers as appropriate. No Task() dispatch because pre_flight is lightweight and must complete before the first agent is spawned.
# Inline orchestrator actions for Phase 0:
# 1. Run: pre-commit run --all-files (capture output)
# 2. Run: mypy src/ (capture output)
# 3. Classify issues: AUTO-FIX (<=10 files, same subsystem) or DEFER (else)
# 4. AUTO-FIX: apply fixes, commit as chore(pre-existing): fix pre-existing issues [OMN-XXXX]
# 5. DEFER: create Linear sub-ticket via MCP, note in PR description template
# 6. Update state.yaml: phase=implement
# AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 1
After dispatch: if auto_fixed is non-empty, orchestrator commits:
git add <changed_files> && git commit -m "chore(pre-existing): fix pre-existing lint/type errors"
No dispatch needed. The orchestrator calls NodeDecisionStoreQueryCompute directly and
injects the result into the shared pipeline context before Phase 1 dispatches.
# Inline orchestrator actions for Phase 0.5:
# 1. Call NodeDecisionStoreQueryCompute:
# scope_services = [ticket.repo_slug]
# scope_services_mode = ANY
# epic_id = ticket.epic_id (omit if None)
# status = ACTIVE
# 2. Format result as structured block (see Phase 0.5 spec above)
# 3. Store in state["phases"]["decision_context_load"]["artifacts"]["decisions_block"]
# 4. If result is empty: store "No active decisions for this scope."
# 5. Update state.yaml: phase=conflict_gate
# AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 0.6
No dispatch needed. The orchestrator runs the structural conflict check synchronously
and routes based on severity before dispatching the implementation agent.
# Inline orchestrator actions for Phase 0.6:
# 1. If ticket.contract.decisions is empty: skip, advance to Phase 1
# 2. For each decision in ticket.contract.decisions:
# result = check_conflicts(decision, scope=ticket.repo_slug)
# → returns: {severity: HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW, conflicts: [...], explanation: str}
# 3. HIGH severity found:
# Post Slack HIGH_RISK gate with conflict summary
# Wait for operator reply: "proceed {ticket_id}" or "hold {ticket_id}"
# "proceed" → update state, advance to Phase 1
# "hold" → update state: phase=held_conflict, clear ledger, exit pipeline
# 4. MEDIUM severity found (no HIGH):
# Post Slack MEDIUM_RISK notification
# Continue automatically to Phase 1
# 5. LOW only (no HIGH/MEDIUM):
# Log conflict summary to pipeline log
# Continue automatically to Phase 1
# 6. Update state.yaml: phase=implement
# AUTO-ADVANCE to Phase 1
Phase 1: implement — Step 0 then dispatch to polymorphic agent
Step 0 runs inline (no dispatch) to create/checkout the git branch before ticket-work.
{branch_name} is resolved from state["phases"]["implement"]["artifacts"]["branch_name"]
after Step 0 completes. ticket-work is dispatched only after Step 0 artifacts exist.
Task(
subagent_type="onex:polymorphic-agent",
description="ticket-pipeline: Phase 1 implement for {ticket_id}: {title}",
prompt="You are executing ticket-work for {ticket_id}.
Invoke: Skill(skill=\"ticket-work\", args=\"{ticket_id}\")
Ticket: {ticket_id} - {title}
Description: {description}
Branch: {branch_name} # Resolved from Step 0 artifacts (not a template placeholder)
Repo: {repo_path}
Execute the full ticket-work workflow.
Do NOT commit changes -- the orchestrator handles git operations.
Report back with: files changed, tests run, any blockers, cross-repo files detected."
)
If the agent reports cross-repo files, execute Phase 1b (cross_repo_split) inline.
Phase 2: local_review — dispatch to polymorphic agent
Task(
subagent_type="onex:polymorphic-agent",
description="ticket-pipeline: Phase 2 local-review for {ticket_id}",
prompt="You are executing local-review for {ticket_id}.
Invoke: Skill(skill=\"local-review\", args=\"--max-iterations {max_review_iterations} --required-clean-runs 1\")
Branch: {branch_name}
Repo: {repo_path}
Execute the local review loop.
Report back with: iterations completed, blocking issues found, whether review passed."
)
Takes a CI snapshot: gh pr checks {pr_number} --repo {repo} --json name,state,conclusion
If any checks are failing and auto_fix_ci=true, dispatches a background fix agent:
Task(
subagent_type="onex:polymorphic-agent",
run_in_background=True,
description="ci-watch: fix CI failures for {ticket_id} PR #{pr_number}",
prompt="CI is failing for PR #{pr_number} in {repo} ({ticket_id}).
Invoke: Skill(skill=\"onex:ci-watch\",
args=\"{pr_number} {repo} --max-fix-cycles {max_ci_fix_cycles} --no-auto-fix\")
Fix any failures, push fixes. GitHub will auto-merge once CI is green."
)
Advances immediately to Phase 5 — does NOT await the background task result.
Phase 5: pr_review_loop — dispatch to polymorphic agent
Task(
subagent_type="onex:polymorphic-agent",
description="ticket-pipeline: Phase 5 pr_review_loop for {ticket_id} on PR #{pr_number}",
prompt="Invoke: Skill(skill=\"onex:pr-watch\",
args=\"--pr {pr_number} --ticket-id {ticket_id} --timeout-hours {pr_review_timeout_hours} --max-review-cycles {max_pr_review_cycles}\")
Report back with: status, pr_review_cycles_used, watch_duration_hours."
)
Phase 6: auto_merge — dispatch to polymorphic agent
merge_gate_timeout_hours is passed to auto-merge to control the HIGH_RISK Slack gate lifetime.
When auto_merge: false, the gate waits up to merge_gate_timeout_hours (default 48h) for a human
"merge" reply before expiring. On expiry, the pipeline clears the ledger and a new run is required.
Task(
subagent_type="onex:polymorphic-agent",
description="ticket-pipeline: Phase 6 auto_merge for {ticket_id} on PR #{pr_number}",
prompt="Invoke: Skill(skill=\"onex:auto-merge\",
args=\"--pr {pr_number} --ticket-id {ticket_id}{' --auto-merge' if auto_merge else ''} --strategy {merge_strategy} --gate-timeout-hours {merge_gate_timeout_hours}\")
Report back with: status, merged_at, branch_deleted."
)
