Session Report — /ticket skill + ticket retirements

2026-07-16 14:53 · repo C:/Users/valte/Code/valter · branch main

Summary

Continues the session recapped in session-report-2026-07-15-2341 (the multi-source radio). Since then: built a new /ticket skill that retires an adb ticket end-to-end following the startup playbook — a definition-of-done gate → wiki capture → close → archive — then dogfooded it on two real tickets. TASK-00028 (the radio ticket) was closed + archived; TASK-00060 (a brand-architecture spike) was blocked by the gate for having no recorded decision, so the decision was captured first — MyImaginationAI adopts a Branded-House architecture — then the ticket was closed. Also set a recurring /session-report on an hourly loop.

Timeline

Researched the real mechanics before building: adb ticket lifecycle (update --status done, archive), the wiki ingest conventions (wiki/AGENTS.md, org-first), and the source-of-truth playbook (AI Micro-SaaS Solo Founder Playbook).
Wrote the /ticket skill via skill-creator: SKILL.md + a playbook-gate.md reference + a read-only gather-ticket.sh. Installed it by junction (the skills-repo linker).
Chose a safe validation path — because the skill closes/archives real tickets, the normal auto-eval harness (subagents executing the task) was inappropriate; validated by dry-run + supervised dogfood instead.
Dogfood 1 — TASK-00028 (feat): gate PASS → wiki skipped (already banked) → closed → archived to tickets/_archived/_local/.
Dogfood 2 — TASK-00060 (spike): gate BLOCKED (empty decisions.yaml). Captured the Branded-House verdict to decisions.yaml + a wiki decisions/ entry + log.md, then closed (archive skipped per the close arg).
Refreshed the front-door dashboard and scheduled a recurring hourly /session-report (cron 7 * * * *, job fae276b9, rounded from the requested 45 min).

Artifacts produced

File	What it is
`skills/personal/ticket/SKILL.md`	The `/ticket` skill — the end-to-end retire flow (gate → wiki → close → archive → refresh). Junction-installed; separate git repo.
`ticket/references/playbook-gate.md`	The definition-of-done gate as a per-ticket-type checklist, grounded in the startup playbook (spikes need a recorded go/no-go).
`ticket/scripts/gather-ticket.sh`	Read-only dumper: locates a ticket dir, prints status/decisions/notes + session/comm counts + wiki-mention signal for the gate.
`wiki/…/decisions/2026-07-16-brand-architecture-branded-house.md`	Durable record of the Branded-House decision (org `my-imagination-ai`), citing TASK-00060; gates the identity/site/naming tickets.

The skill files live in the skills repo, which the mtime scan prunes (./repos) — listed here from session context + verified on disk, not fabricated. reports/, tools/, and the skills repo are gitignored / separate repos.

Files edited

File	Change
`tickets/_local/TASK-00060-…/knowledge/decisions.yaml`	Recorded the Branded-House decision + accepted trade-off + follow-up (was empty `decisions: []`).
`wiki/log.md`	Appended a `decide` entry for the brand-architecture ratification (§13).
`reports/index.html`	Regenerated the front-door CEO dashboard (via `build_dashboard.py`).
`backlog.yaml` / `tickets/_archived/`	adb state: TASK-00028 → archived; TASK-00060 → done. shared also heavily edited by concurrent sessions.

Key decisions

/ticket is a retire-orchestrator, not a re-implementation — it composes adb + wiki-synth-ticket/wiki-ingest-source + ticket-progress-report, and its whole point is the gate: never close a ticket with its learning uncaptured.
Validate a destructive skill by supervised dogfood, not auto-evals — running subagents that actually close/archive real tickets would be harmful; a dry-run + confirmations was the honest test.
MyImaginationAI = Branded House (option A) — every venture is "MyImaginationAI <Venture>"; one trust surface across the portfolio, accepting weaker per-venture virality. Gates TASK-00061/62/63; "StageProof" was only an unratified placeholder. This was the user's call — captured, not invented.
Hourly session-report loop — cron can't express an even 45-min cadence, so rounded to hourly (offered 30 min as the alternative).

Tasks

Task	Status	Note
`TASK-00028` — radio to brain-live + 3D three.js fix	done · archived	Gate PASS (feat, verified in-browser); wiki skipped (already banked); dogfood #1.
`TASK-00060` — brand architecture: branded house vs house of brands	done	Gate initially BLOCKED (spike, no decision) → captured Branded-House verdict → closed. Archive skipped per `close`.

Other TASK-000xx churn in backlog.yaml (content-agency, staging venture, brand identity/site) is concurrent-session work, out of scope for this report.

Sources & caveats

Fact sources used this run: git mtime scan adb tasks gstack (stale) transcript (recency-picked; may be another session).

Heavy concurrent activity today: other sessions generated their own session reports (the 08:28–14:52 series) and a tools/.mia-reports-deploy/ mirror, and drove most of the TASK-000xx backlog churn. This report is deliberately scoped to this session's thread — the /ticket skill and the two ticket retirements — anchored to session context + the git/adb facts for that work, excluding the concurrent sessions' artifacts.

Recap reflects available context + git facts; a long/compacted session may omit earlier steps (the radio work is in the 2026-07-15-2341 report). File lists are derived from git + the mtime scan + on-disk verification, not memory.

Generated by the session-report skill (hourly loop, job fae276b9).
