start it with one message

Review all tickets in our current sprint backlog. For each one, analyze the codebase, provide a confidence score (green/yellow/red), and post an implementation plan as a comment. Do not start implementation, just scope.

Run this in OpulentCopy it, swap the names for your own, and send it.

step 1

Connect the ticket system and write the planning playbook

Connect Linear, Asana, ClickUp, or monday.com so Opulent can read the backlog and post comments. The planning logic lives in a playbook, a reusable, named set of steps that tells Opulent how to scope a ticket without writing code.

The playbook defines the confidence score rubric, the file analysis steps, and the format of the plan comment.

Playbook: !plan

For each selected ticket:
1. Read the title, description, and comments.
2. Search the codebase for relevant files and patterns.
3. Identify the change surface and any existing similar code.
4. Score confidence:
   - Green: change is isolated, pattern exists, no open questions.
   - Yellow: feasible, but one or more clarifications needed.
   - Red: too large, unclear, or risky; best for a human.
5. Post a comment with the score, relevant files, implementation
   plan, and open questions.
6. Do not write code unless explicitly told to.

Tip

Seed the playbook with your team's complexity thresholds. A 'green' ticket for a senior engineer might be 'yellow' for a junior, but the confidence score should reflect how well Opulent understands the work, not who will do it.

step 2

Select tickets and run the planning pass

Multi-select tickets in Linear and add a label that triggers Opulent, or run the playbook manually against a list of ticket IDs. Opulent scopes every selected ticket in parallel and posts a structured comment on each.

The trigger should target a specific status or label so only tickets that need planning get the treatment. Edge detection prevents re-planning tickets that were already scored.

Trigger: label "!plan" added to a ticket

Run for each ticket:
- Read ticket and linked context.
- Search codebase for relevant files.
- Score and plan.
- Post comment with score, plan, and questions.

Or bulk mode:
- Provide a list of Linear IDs.
- Opulent runs the same analysis in parallel.

step 3

Read the analysis on each ticket

Opulent posts a comment with the confidence score, relevant files, and a step-by-step implementation plan. The score tells the team whether the ticket is ready to hand to Opulent or needs human review first.

Scoring summary:

| Ticket | Title                        | Score | Relevant files / notes |
|--------|------------------------------|-------|------------------------|
| FE-412 | Dark mode toggle             | Green | ThemeContext exists; 3 toggles already use it. |
| FE-419 | Date picker timezone bug     | Green | Bug isolated to formatLocalDate(); test missing. |
| BE-203 | Migrate prefs to Postgres    | Yellow| 14 call sites; needs rollback strategy. |
| BE-210 | Rate limiting on webhooks    | Green | Existing middleware; needs config. |
| INF-102| k8s health check             | Green | Readiness probe exists; liveness follows. |

Comments posted on each ticket.

step 4

Set up continuous planning

Configure an automation so new tickets are planned the moment they hit a status like 'Triage' or 'Todo'. Opulent scores them and updates labels, so the team sees at a glance which tickets are ready to implement and which need clarification.

Automation:

Trigger: ticket moves to "Todo" in Engineering team
Filter: label is "Feature" or "Improvement"
Action: start Opulent run with !plan playbook

After scoring:
- Green label -> ready for !implement
- Yellow label -> needs clarification
- Red label -> assign to senior engineer

step 5

Sharpen the planning loop

When a plan is wrong, update the playbook or write the correction into memory (the notes a run recalls next time). When a ticket type is consistently scored wrong, add an eval that checks the plan against known good examples.

The natural chain: green tickets can move to Auto-Triage Bugs via Linear or Turn PRDs into Sprint Tickets for implementation; yellow tickets can route to Autonomous Triage for Knowledge Work Queues for clarification.
