| 2 | +name: write-perps-ticket |
| 3 | +description: Interactively author one clean, complete perps ticket — bug, EPIC, or initiative — that states intent and expected outcome without implementation. Use when a PM (or a Claude acting for one) has a raw perps observation, feature idea, or strategic goal and wants a single well-formed ticket ready for engineering to break down. This is the first (product) pass; the engineering split + layer routing is a separate pass (breakdown-perps-tickets). Captures what/expected/repro, makes the ticket surfaceable so it doesn't get lost, and stops before implementation or repo routing. |

| 7 | +# Write Perps Ticket |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Turn a raw perps observation, idea, or goal into **one clean, complete ticket** |
| 10 | +the product team can file and engineering can break down as-is. You describe |
| 11 | +*what* and *what's expected* — never *how*. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## When To Use |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- A PM (or a Claude acting for one) reports a perps bug, proposes a feature, or |
| 16 | + frames a strategic goal and wants a well-formed ticket. |
| 17 | +- The input is raw: a Slack message, a screenshot, a one-line idea. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +This is the **first (product) pass**. The technical split — which repos/layers |
| 20 | +change, dependency order, component routing — is the engineer's job and lives in |
| 21 | +`breakdown-perps-tickets`. Do not do it here. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Not for: engineering task breakdown, or routing a ticket across Core/clients |
| 24 | +(→ `breakdown-perps-tickets`). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Operating principle: intent, not implementation |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +You own the *what* and the *why*. The engineer owns the *how*. A product ticket |
| 29 | +that prescribes implementation boxes engineering into the wrong solution and goes |
| 30 | +stale the moment the code moves. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- State expected behavior as a **testable outcome**, not a fix. "Size shows USD |
| 33 | + value" — not "call `abs(size) * entryPrice` in `position-card`". |
| 34 | +- No file paths, no component names you'd have to guess, no layer routing. |
| 35 | +- 2-3 sentences per field. One concern per ticket — split multi-bug reports. |
| 36 | +- If you can't state the expected outcome in one testable line, it's not a |
| 37 | + ticket yet — ask the reporter. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Pick the type |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Ask which kind, or infer it and confirm. Each has its own shape: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- **Bug** — something is broken now. → behavior + repro. |
| 44 | +- **EPIC** — a shippable, user-facing capability. → outcome + feature-level |
| 45 | + acceptance; tasks are deferred to engineering. |
| 46 | +- **Initiative** — a strategic goal spanning multiple EPICs. → why + measurable |
| 47 | + success; no features yet. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +## Workflow (interactive) |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +1. **Intake.** Read the raw input. Identify the type. Ask only what you can't |
| 52 | + infer: the expected outcome (as a testable line), and for bugs the repro path |
| 53 | + and required wallet state. Don't ask for anything an engineer derives later. |
| 54 | +2. **One concern.** If the input bundles several bugs or goals, split into |
| 55 | + separate tickets — list them and confirm before writing. |
| 56 | +3. **Draft the ticket** in the matching format below. |
| 57 | +4. **Make it surfaceable** (see below) so it doesn't vanish into the backlog. |
| 58 | +5. **Stop at the product boundary.** Do not add implementation, file paths, or a |
| 59 | + layer split. Hand off: a bug/EPIC is ready for `breakdown-perps-tickets`. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## Surfacing (so bugs don't get lost) |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +A filed ticket nobody triages is a lost ticket. On every ticket set: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +- **Severity / priority** — for bugs, one line: user impact + how often it hits |
| 66 | + (every user / edge case). For EPICs/initiatives, the outcome's value. |
| 67 | +- **Area label** — `perps` + the surface in plain words (e.g. "order entry", |
| 68 | + "position card"). Enough for triage to route; not a component path. |
| 69 | +- **Type** correctly set (Bug / EPIC / Initiative) so it lands in the right |
| 70 | + queue, not an undifferentiated pile. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +## Ticket formats |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Keep every field tight. Plain language — the engineer maps surfaces to |
| 75 | +components during breakdown. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### Bug |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +**Title** — `[bug] <one-line user-visible symptom>` |
| 80 | +**What's broken** — actual behavior today: which screen, what the user sees, |
| 81 | +what value/element is wrong. 1-2 sentences. |
| 82 | +**Expected** — what should happen instead, as a **testable** "when X, then Y" |
| 83 | +line. This becomes the acceptance criteria. |
| 84 | +**Steps to reproduce** — numbered, from app open to bug visible. |
| 85 | +**Surface** — the screen/area in plain words ("Perps home position card"). |
| 86 | +**Pre-conditions** — required wallet/app state (unlocked, open BTC position, |
| 87 | +deposited balance). Only the ones that apply. |
| 88 | +**Severity** — user impact + frequency. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +For displayed numbers, describe the **semantic** ("shows the asset price", |
| 91 | +"shows USD value of the position"), never a decimal count — precision is |
| 92 | +range-adaptive (a $0.001 alt behaves differently from BTC). |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +### EPIC |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +**Title** — `[epic] <user-facing capability>` |
| 97 | +**Outcome** — what the user can do after this ships that they can't today. 1-3 |
| 98 | +sentences. |
| 99 | +**Acceptance (feature-level)** — testable "when X, then Y" lines describing the |
| 100 | +capability working end to end. Not implementation steps. |
| 101 | +**Scope** — in / out, in one line each. What this EPIC does NOT cover. |
| 102 | +**Surface** — the perps area(s) affected, in plain words. |
| 103 | +**Parent initiative** — link if one exists. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### Initiative |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +**Title** — `[initiative] <strategic goal>` |
| 108 | +**Why** — the problem/opportunity and who it's for. 1-3 sentences. |
| 109 | +**Success metric** — how we'll know it worked (measurable; a number or a clear |
| 110 | +observable change), not a feature list. |
| 111 | +**Scope boundary** — what's in and explicitly out at this level. |
| 112 | +**Child EPICs** — known candidate EPICs (titles only; they get their own |
| 113 | +tickets). Leave open if not yet decided. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +## Quality bar (reject before filing) |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +- Bug with no repro or no testable expected line → ask the reporter; don't file. |
| 118 | +- Implementation prescribed (file paths, "call X", layer routing) → strip it; |
| 119 | + that's the engineer's pass. |
| 120 | +- Multi-bug / multi-goal in one ticket → split. |
| 121 | +- "Investigate and fix" / "looks wrong" / "see recording" → narrow to a concrete |
| 122 | + expected outcome first. |
| 123 | +- EPIC/initiative with no measurable success or acceptance → not ready. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +## Handoff |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +A bug or EPIC produced here is the **input** to `breakdown-perps-tickets`, which |
| 128 | +(with codebase access) routes it across Core/Core-release/Mobile/Extension and |
| 129 | +emits the engineering task tickets. Keep this skill on the product side of that |
| 130 | +line. |
