work-on-ticket-plan

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the disciplined execution of a pre-written Jira ticket implementation plan, removing uncertainty about what to change, when to run tests, and how to update project progress while preserving review and approval gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase-by-phase implementation: Reads the plan and progress docs, identifies the next incomplete phase, and presents a structured phase summary for user approval before any code is written.
• Test baseline and regression handling: Captures a pre-implementation full-test baseline, distinguishes pre-existing failures from regressions, runs full-suite checks after the final phase, and requires regression fixes or escalation.
• Careful commit and PR workflow: Operates inside a dedicated git worktree, stages only approved changes, uses conventional commit messages, and can create a draft GitHub PR when the user requests it.
• Use case: A senior engineer working on CM-4873 wants a repeatable, auditable way to execute an implementation plan with evidence, tests, and controlled commits.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to "work on ticket CM-1234" to locate the worktree, read the plan, capture a test baseline if needed, and present the next phase for approval.
