FAQPage Schema
How do I create a research or investigation ticket in Hot Sheet?

Investigation tickets in Hot Sheet are structured task records categorized specifically for research and analysis work. They track investigations, research items, and next-up task planning with consistent metadata like category and priority fields.

How does next-up task planning work when creating Hot Sheet tickets?

The Skill parses next-up requests, preserves the intended title you provide, and sets the appropriate up_next status on the Hot Sheet ticket so your research item is queued correctly for subsequent task planning.

Do I need the Hot Sheet MCP tool to route ticket creation requests?

You need either the Hot Sheet MCP tool or a validated local API fallback to route ticket creation. Both paths require category and priority fields to generate the investigation ticket with consistent metadata.

Can I use a local API fallback for Hot Sheet ticket creation routing?

Yes, a validated local API fallback can route ticket creation if the Hot Sheet MCP tool is unavailable. The fallback still requires category and priority fields to create the investigation ticket with consistent metadata.

What are the limitations of automating investigation ticket creation in Hot Sheet?

The main limitation is the dependency on either the Hot Sheet MCP tool or a validated local API fallback for routing. Additionally, the Skill requires category and priority fields to generate tickets, limiting use without that metadata.
