List parent tickets

[skorokithakis]

I may be missing this, but the dependency view is confusing/not in the same mental model as what I have.

My tasks consist of one parent task, and a few child ones, or a chain of tasks. If I run tk ready, I see the next child task that's unblocked (which is fine). However, in my mental model, I want to start working on a bunch of tasks that have one goal in common.

Therefore, I'd like to tell my agent "list all parent tickets and get the next one and its bunch of subtasks". Is there such a command? If not, would it be useful to add one?

Claude just got confused by the display:

Three ready tickets:

1. sta-ent0 — Fix empty GitHub repo descriptions for stavrobot plugins (we just saw these repos don't seem to exist under your account, so this one needs clarification)

This ticket is the last one/smallest one in a dependency chain, but tk doesn't give Claude the necessary context, because of the way tickets are displayed. Claude sees "add descriptions" rather than "add plugin index to website" (which depends on the tickets having descriptions).

I've created a small plugin (tk list) that works the way I'd like this to work. I can contribute this, but I'd much prefer if it were merged into core. Here's how it works:

❯ tk list
tic-51w1 [P3][open] - Set up monitoring and alerting

❯ tk ready
tic-clsb [P0][open] - Implement password hashing
tic-jtqt [P1][open] - Design database schema
tic-kd0f [P2][open] - Set up CI/CD pipeline

❯ tk list tic-jtqt
tic-51w1 [open] Set up monitoring and alerting
└── tic-dtdm [open] Deploy to staging
    ├── tic-kd0f [open] Set up CI/CD pipeline
    ├── tic-5nch [open] Write API integration tests
