SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new work item often means writing a vague ticket that lacks context, classification, or a clear place in the project backlog. This Skill creates a consistent, lightweight tracker ticket with a plain-language title, a short TL;DR, and the correct metadata so ideas enter the workflow properly from the start. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Ticket Drafting: Writes a concrete, scannable title and a one- or two-sentence TL;DR body following the ASD-STE100 simplified writing standard. - Classification and Release Grouping: Applies configured ticket classifications, needs-details state, and release groupings, inferring the best fit and asking for confirmation when ambiguous. - Duplicate Detection and Positioning: Searches for existing equivalent tickets before creating a new one and places the ticket in the correct position within the project's TODO column. - Use Case: A developer has a new feature idea during a discussion. Use this Skill to draft the ticket, preview the title, body, classification, and backlog position, get approval, and create it in the tracker without writing a full specification. ## Quick Start Create a ticket for adding dark mode support to the settings page and place it near the top of the TODO column.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a project ticket with a TL;DR summary?▼

Describe the idea in conversation and the Skill drafts a concrete title plus a one- or two-sentence TL;DR body. It previews the full ticket including classification and position, then creates it only after your explicit approval.

How does the ticket creation skill handle duplicate tickets?▼

It searches the tracker for existing equivalent tickets before proposing a new one. If a plausible duplicate is found, it asks whether to reuse that ticket instead of creating a new one.

What happens if the tracker configuration is missing?▼

The Skill reads docs/agents/bb-skills.md as its configuration contract. If that file is absent, incomplete, or contradicts the tracker, it stops and directs you to run the setup-bb-skills skill first.

Does create-ticket also write specifications or subtasks?▼

No. It creates only the lightweight initial ticket with a TL;DR body. Specifications and child tasks are handled by separate downstream skills such as ticket-to-spec and spec-to-tasks.

What happens if ticket creation partially fails?▼

The Skill does not delete a partially created ticket. It reports which steps succeeded, such as creation or positioning, and what remains to be completed manually.
