Use the hack tickets extension (git-backed JSONL event log) to create/list/show/sync lightweight tickets. Trigger when asked to track work items, decisions, or bugs inside a repo without external issue trackers. Prefer `hack x tickets ...` commands; store lives on hidden ref `refs/hack/tickets` by default.

hack tickets

This repo uses the hack tickets extension (dance.hack.tickets).

Enable

Enable globally:

  • hack config set --global 'controlPlane.extensions["dance.hack.tickets"].enabled' true

Or per-project by adding .hack/hack.config.json:

{
  "controlPlane": {
    "extensions": {
      "dance.hack.tickets": { "enabled": true }
    }
  }
}

Commands

  • Create: hack x tickets create --title "..." [--body "..."] [--body-file <path>] [--body-stdin] [--depends-on "..."] [--blocks "..."] [--actor "..."] [--json]
  • List: hack x tickets list [--json]
  • Tui: hack x tickets tui
  • Show: hack x tickets show <ticket-id> [--json]

Tip: use --body-stdin for multi-line markdown.

Data model

  • Tickets are derived from an append-only event log (JSONL).
  • Local state lives in .hack/tickets/ (gitignored on the main branch).
  • Sync writes commits to a dedicated ref (refs/hack/tickets hidden by default) and pushes to your remote.
  • Set controlPlane.tickets.git.refMode to heads to use a normal branch ref (and protect it if desired).

Tips

  • Keep ticket titles short; put detail in --body.
  • Use --json for agent workflows and piping.
  • Run hack x tickets sync before opening PRs if you want tickets to travel with the repo.
