 Break a plan, spec, or conversation into a set of **tickets** — tracer-bullet vertical slices, each declaring the tickets that **block** it.
 
-The blocking edges are the whole point. They make one artifact read two ways: on a **local file** they're written as text and you work it top-to-bottom by hand; on a **real tracker** they're native blocking links, so any agent can grab a ticket whose blockers are all done — the **frontier** — and several can run at once. The edges live in the ticket either way; the medium only decides whether anything acts on them in parallel. You are producing the artifact, not deciding how it's run.

 The issue tracker and triage label vocabulary should have been provided to you — run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` if not.
