Ticket-Driven Development
Also known as: Ticket-Driven Development / チケット駆動開発 / TDD(チケット駆動)
Workflow where ticket creation auto-triggers AI agents to code, test, and open a PR — humans focus on writing tickets and reviewing PRs.
Overview
Tickets act as mini-specs with acceptance criteria. The AI agent reads the ticket, creates a worktree, implements, passes tests, then submits a PR — all without hand-holding.
See OpenAI Symphony explainer. Ticket quality (clear acceptance criteria) is the key variable for success rate.
