Set up a ticket-to-code-change automation using Linear as the issue tracker and GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket as the source-control provider. The Jira templates are served by the jira-issue-to-pr skill instead. Watches for implementation-ready tickets, starts an OpenHands conversation to implement and test the request, opens a pull or merge request, and links the result back to the ticket.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ticket to code change

Create an automation that turns implementation-ready tickets into tested pull
requests or merge requests.

## Information to collect

Ask the user for:

1. The issue tracker: Linear. Jira automations are set up with the
   `jira-issue-to-pr` skill instead, which ships a poller.
2. The source-control provider: GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket Cloud.
3. The project or team to watch and the label or workflow state that means
   "implementation ready".
4. How a ticket identifies its target repository and base branch.
5. The polling schedule or issue event to use.
6. The ticket state to set when work starts and when the change request opens.
7. Whether linked dependencies must be completed before dispatch.

## Setup workflow

1. Verify that both required integrations are connected and can read the
   selected project and repository.
2. Prefer an issue event trigger when the deployment can receive events;
   otherwise use cron polling with durable issue-ID deduplication.
3. Limit each run to a small configurable number of new tickets. On initial
   deployment, establish a baseline instead of dispatching the entire backlog.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openhands/extensions/ticket-to-code-change@sha256:7db317dea3729b1b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.737ff7a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
