Orchestrates the full preparation workflow for a ticket. Calls /flagrare:intake (which gathers context from Jira/Notion/Figma, grounds the brief in the codebase via /flagrare:codebase-explore, then asks codebase-informed clarifying questions), then hands the codebase-grounded brief to /flagrare:atdd-plan for a TDD-first implementation plan. Use when the user shares a ticket key (e.g. SKU-123), says 'start work on', 'pick up ticket', 'plan this feature', 'work prep', or provides a Jira URL.

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

# Work Prep

Full preparation workflow: ticket context gathering followed by implementation planning.

This skill orchestrates two existing skills in sequence. It does not duplicate their logic.

---

## When to Use

- User shares a ticket key (e.g. `SKU-123`, `ST-456`, `CORE-789`)
- User provides a Jira/Atlassian URL
- User says "start work on", "pick up ticket", "plan this feature", "work prep", "let's work on [ticket]"
- User pastes a ticket key with no other context

---

## Workflow

### Step 0: Lock the goal (anti-stall)

**Hard requirement.** Before invoking any sub-skill, you (the executing model) MUST call `/goal` yourself. work-prep is a multi-skill chain (`intake → atdd-plan → confirm`) that emits a large context brief and a large plan mid-flow, both are points where the model tends to read "turn complete" and stop. A `/goal` is a session-scoped Stop-hook: after every turn a fast evaluator checks your condition against the conversation and makes you continue if it is unmet. Set it here, once, spanning the whole chain. (Grounded in [`docs/research/2026-06-11-claude-code-goal-anti-stall.md`](../../../../docs/research/2026-06-11-claude-code-goal-anti-stall.md).)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flagrare/agent-skills/work-prep@sha256:b2434e5202342a18

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.8acabf4, 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.
