Ticks Workflow

Ticks is an issue tracker designed for AI agents. The tk CLI manages tasks, runs agents in continuous loops, and provides a web-based board for monitoring.

When to Use Ticks vs TodoWrite

Use Ticks (tk) for work that:

• Spans multiple sessions or conversations
• Has dependencies on other tasks
• Is discovered during other work and should be tracked
• Needs human handoff or approval gates
• Benefits from persistent history and notes

Use TodoWrite for:

• Simple single-session tasks
• Work that will be completed in the current conversation
• Tracking progress on immediate work

Don't over-index on creating ticks for every small thing. Use your judgment.
