Ticket Status

Programmatic verification scripts for KB workflow.

Prerequisites

ALWAYS run /pmc:kb first to understand ticket structure and TDD workflow.

Scripts Overview

check_ticket.py

Check individual ticket completion status.

python scripts/check_ticket.py T00001
python scripts/check_ticket.py T00001 --json

Status Flow

missing-docs → needs-spec → needs-tests → red-phase → needs-impl → needs-final → complete
                                              ↓              ↓
                                        tests-blocked   tests-failing
                                              ↓              ↓
                                           blocked      (retry impl)

Document Checks

Required documents (must exist):

• 1-definition.md - What: scope, success criteria
• 2-plan.md - How: steps, decisions
• 3-spec.md - TDD: test cases, edge cases

Optional documents:

• 4-progress.md - Log: TDD cycles, notes (created during work)
• 5-final.md - Done: status, learnings (required for completion)

Test Checks

For TDD tickets (default), verifies:

1. tests.json exists in .pmc/docs/tests/tickets/T0000N/
2. Tests have red_verified timestamp (RED phase done)
3. All required: true tests have status: passed
4. No tests have status: blocked

Example Output

# Ticket Status: T00001

## Documents

| Document | Exists | Content |
|----------|--------|---------|
| 1-definition.md | OK | OK |
| 2-plan.md | OK | OK |
| 3-spec.md | OK | OK |
| 4-progress.md | OK | OK |
| 5-final.md | MISSING | - |

## TDD: enabled

## Tests

Total: 3 | Passed: 2 | Failed: 1 | Blocked: 0 | Pending: 0
Required: 2/2 passed
RED verified: all

| Test | Status | Required | RED |
|------|--------|----------|-----|
| T00001-01 | passed | yes | OK |
| T00001-02 | passed | yes | OK |
| T00001-03 | failed | no | OK |

## Status

5-final.md: not set

## Next Step

**FIX TESTS**
Failing tests: T00001-03

}

TDD Opt-Out

Tickets with TDD: no in 1-definition.md skip test checks:

• No tests.json required
• Goes directly: docs → needs-final → complete

Integration

CI/CD Usage

# Check all active tickets
for dir in .pmc/docs/tickets/T*/; do
  ticket=$(basename "$dir")
  python scripts/check_ticket.py "$ticket" --json
done

# Fail CI if ticket not complete
python scripts/check_ticket.py T00001
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Ticket not complete"
  exit 1
fi

Workflow Integration

Before archiving a ticket:

python scripts/check_ticket.py T00001
# Only archive if exit code is 0

check_phase.py

Check phase completion - all tickets in phase done?

python scripts/check_phase.py 1
python scripts/check_phase.py 1 --json

Exit Codes

Example Output

# Phase 1 Status

**Goal:** Implement user authentication

Progress: [████████████░░░░░░░░] 60%

## Summary

| Status | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Complete | 3 |
| Blocked | 0 |
| In Progress | 2 |
| **Total** | **5** |

## Next Step

**2 ticket(s) remaining - next: T00004**

check_tests.py

Detailed test verification: trajectory, RED markers, coverage.

python scripts/check_tests.py T00001
python scripts/check_tests.py T00001 --json

Checks Performed

• tests.json exists and valid
• Each test has red_verified timestamp
• Passed tests have trajectory with [RED] and [GREEN] markers
• Coverage: tests vs 3-spec.md test cases

Example Output

# Test Status: T00001

## Summary

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total tests | 4 |
| Passed | 3 |
| Failed | 1 |
| RED verified | incomplete |
| Trajectories | incomplete |

## Tests

| ID | Name | Status | RED | Trajectory | Issues |
|----|------|--------|-----|------------|--------|
| T00001-01 | Login flow | passed | + | 12 | - |
| T00001-02 | Logout flow | passed | + | 8 | - |
| T00001-03 | Session timeout | failed | x | none | Missing RED |
| T00001-04 | Remember me | passed | + | 5 | - |

## Coverage vs 3-spec.md

Coverage: 75%

| Spec Case | Covered | Test |
|-----------|---------|------|
| login_valid | + | T00001-01 |
| login_invalid | + | T00001-01 |
| session_timeout | x | - |
| remember_me | + | T00001-04 |

## Next Step

**Run RED phase for tests missing red_verified**

check_integrity.py

Verify KB consistency: indexes match directories, roadmap has all active items.

python scripts/check_integrity.py
python scripts/check_integrity.py --json

Checks Performed

• All ticket directories have entry in tickets/index.md
• All active tickets are in roadmap.md
• No archived items still in roadmap (stale references)

Example Output

# KB Integrity Check

## Summary

| Type | Active | Archived | In Index | In Roadmap |
|------|--------|----------|----------|------------|
| Tickets | 5 | 12 | 5 | 4 |

## Issues Found

| Type | Item | Detail |
|------|------|--------|
| missing_roadmap | T00021 | T00021 is active but not in roadmap.md |

## Result

**INVALID** - 1 issues found

Verification Checkpoints

Use these scripts at each workflow stage:

All Scripts Usage

# Full verification sequence
python scripts/check_integrity.py           # KB consistent?
python scripts/check_ticket.py T00001       # Ticket status?
python scripts/check_tests.py T00001        # Tests valid?
python scripts/check_phase.py 1             # Phase done?

# JSON for automation
