Turn tickets into pull requests with an AI agent
“My backlog is full of small tickets nobody gets to.”
Well-written tickets can go straight to a coding agent that opens a pull request. Start with small, clear ones and add checks before you trust more.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Pick 3 small tickets and rewrite each with clear steps and 'done when'.
- Assign them to a coding agent (from your tracker, Slack or the agent's app) to open pull requests.
- Review each PR with tests passing; give feedback on the PR instead of re-explaining in chat.
Copy this prompt
Take ticket [ID/text]. Restate what 'done' means in one line, then implement it on a new branch with tests. Open a pull request that links the ticket and explains what changed and how you tested it. Don't merge or deploy — stop after the PR.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
