Initialize work on a Jira ticket. Creates a new branch with conventional commit prefix based on the ticket type. Use when starting work on a new 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

# Start Ticket

Initialize work on a Jira ticket by looking up the ticket details and creating an appropriately named branch.

## Usage

```
/start-ticket AB-123
```

## Requirements

The shared `scripts/git-branch-preflight.sh` helper requires Bash, Git (with `git switch`), and awk.
It reports working-tree and branch facts without changing refs or files, and queries `origin` for
exact destination publication. A missing helper, failed status read, or unknown remote state is a
stop condition, not permission to assume a clean tree or absent branch. `current_worktree` is the
canonical root from `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`; invoke from any repository subdirectory.

## Instructions

### 1. Look Up the Jira Ticket

Use [jira-ticket](../jira-ticket/SKILL.md) for the key, summary and issue type. It owns tool
availability, deferred discovery and unavailable-context handoffs. If skill invocation is absent,
read that installed skill and follow it; do not reconstruct the lookup. If context remains
unavailable, stop branch creation or obtain the user-provided fields through that handoff.

### 2. Determine the Branch Prefix

Map the Jira issue type to a conventional commit prefix:
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/start-ticket@sha256:60156b5e4c10b89f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.2.3, 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.
