How does it handle blocked tickets?

It automatically checks for unsatisfied dependencies in both individual tickets and parent workstreams, skipping blocked items and notifying you of exactly what is preventing progress.

Can I pick a specific ticket instead of letting the algorithm decide?

Yes, if you specify a ticket by name, the skill will bypass the standard selection algorithm and workstream ordering to pick that specific item directly.

Where does the skill look for ticket information?

It reads Markdown files with YAML frontmatter located specifically in the kanban/todo/ and kanban/workstreams/ directories of your repository.

Does this skill automatically start work on its own?

No, the skill is only activated when you explicitly ask to start work on a ticket using phrases like 'pick up the next ticket.' It never auto-picks or auto-starts tasks without a prompt.

What happens once a ticket is picked?

The skill moves the ticket file to the in-progress folder, announces the task, and initiates a specific TDD workflow (Feature, Bug, Spike, etc.) based on the ticket's defined type.

Automates the selection of the next development task from a Kanban backlog based on priorities, dependencies, and workstreams.

The Kanban Ticket Picker skill streamlines the development workflow by intelligently identifying and initiating the next available task from a local Kanban system. It parses ticket metadata, evaluates complex dependency chains across individual tasks and entire workstreams, and respects priority levels to ensure developers are always working on the most impactful, unblocked item. Upon selection, it automatically transitions the ticket to an in-progress state and guides the user through type-specific Test-Driven Development (TDD) patterns, ensuring high-quality implementation from the start.
