Ticket to PR · A traceable workflow

Ticket to PR with AI coding agents

Ticket-to-PR connects a software assignment to repository changes and a review handover. Anvil Coder plans implementation, coordinates coding agents and records check results. The hosted service produces a draft pull request for your team to assess before merging.

Four steps from assignment to review

  1. Prepare the ticket

    Describe behaviour, boundaries and acceptance criteria in the internal board or a connected tracker. Connect the repository and define your project rules.

  2. Plan the change

    The task is divided into small work units with dependencies. Review unresolved assumptions and configure the approvals your project needs.

  3. Check the changes

    Agents produce commits. Configured checks report findings; build and test execution require an available toolchain.

  4. Review the draft

    Open the pull request in your Git host. Inspect the diff, acceptance criteria and executed checks before deciding whether to merge.

A title leaves many decisions open. These acceptance criteria make the assignment more concrete for implementation and review:

The handover should bring implementation, test changes and check results together. Tests that did not run and unresolved assumptions belong in your review decision.

What makes a ticket ready for implementation?

Provide the affected feature, intended behaviour, relevant documentation and changes explicitly outside scope. A small, bounded ticket makes the first result easier to assess.

For larger work, start with a specification and curated epics. Generating tickets prepares work; it does not itself start a coding run.

Turn a specification into actionable tickets

What should a reviewer see?

Connect three perspectives: what was requested, what changed and what was checked. The commit history helps you follow implementation. The run report records executed checks and their results.

A passing check covers only what it actually examines. Your team still assesses domain correctness, appropriate permissions and unexpected effects in the concrete diff.

Questions before your first run

Can we use our existing issue tracker?
Anvil provides an internal board and connections to external trackers and Git hosts. Check the integrations page for your provider’s permissions, start trigger and feedback path.
Does Anvil merge the pull request automatically?
The hosted workflow hands over a draft. A person decides whether to accept the change. You can also configure approval points during implementation per project.
What if tests could not run?
Those tests have no execution evidence. Inspect the run findings and provide the matching toolchain or CI check before treating the draft as verified.
