What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of blocked code edits when the ticket-first workflow gate is enforced, so you can proceed with safe, production-ready changes tied to an active tracker item.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Declares an active ticket: Writes session marker files that allow the
require-active-ticket.sh PreToolUse hook to permit Edit/Write on permitted code paths.
- Validates ticket existence and state: Uses the configured tracker adapter (GitHub by default, or Linear/Jira/Asana/custom) to confirm the issue exists and warn if it appears closed.
- Scopes the marker correctly across projects: Resolves a per-project marker under the ops fork’s
.claude/session/tickets/<project> when the ticket’s repo is registered; otherwise uses the ops fallback marker at .claude/session/current-ticket.
Quick Start
Start an active coding session by running /start-ticket apexyard#41.
