## Inputs

| Input | Type | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `prompt` | string | `"Create a ticket for the requested work."` |

## Use it when

- The request is already narrow enough to be one implementable unit.

## Use something else when

- The request is broad: use [`tickets-create`](/workflows/tickets-create) to split it into many tickets.

## Resume & retry

`ticket-create` returns a single ticket in the run output; it does not write files. Runs are durable and resume with `up --resume`.
