When to use
- •You created/edited several files under
.tickets/. - •Work spans multiple tasks and you need clear sequencing.
Goal
Make the ticket graph reflect reality: explicit deps, correct statuses, and short rationale notes.
Checklist
- •
Identify the sequencing
- •List the tickets involved.
- •Decide which tickets are blocked by others.
- •
Encode dependencies (graph, not prose)
- •
loom ticket dep <id> - •
loom ticket dep-add <id> <dep-id> - •
loom ticket dep-rm <id> <dep-id>
- •
- •
Sanity-check status vs deps
- •If a ticket is blocked, keep it out of
in_progress. - •Only move a ticket to
in_progresswhen you can actively work it.
- •If a ticket is blocked, keep it out of
- •
Leave a rationale note for non-obvious edges
- •
loom ticket add-note <id> "Blocked by <dep-id> because ..."
- •
- •
Verify ready queue behavior
- •
loom ticket ready
- •
Failure modes
- •Hidden sequencing captured only in free-form text.
- •Tickets marked
in_progresswhile blocked. - •Dependency changes without a short explanation note.
