# Remove Visible Proposal Protocol from ticket-create skill to unblock autonomous creation

**Context**
The `ticket-create` skill currently enforces a "Visible Proposal Protocol" (Section 6). This protocol mandates that agents must output the proposed ticket content in the chat to the human commander *before* (or alongside) invoking the `create_issue` MCP tool. Historically, this served as an early-intervention gate to prevent poorly scoped tickets from polluting the tracker.

**The Problem**
This human-in-the-loop gate acts as an artificial bottleneck for fully autonomous agent workflows. It conflicts with the project's evolving philosophical paradigm ("Tobi is the merge gate"), which centralizes human oversight at the final Pull Request squash-merge stage rather than micromanaging upstream artifact creation.

**The Architectural Reality**
By enforcing a visible proposal for every ticket, we effectively create a "human every gate" scenario. If an autonomous agent (like a background tech-debt radar or retrospective daemon) wants to log a ticket, it shouldn't need to halt the swarm for chat-based approval. The MCP server and downstream PR review provide sufficient safety nets.

**The Fix**
Update `.agent/skills/ticket-create/references/ticket-create-workflow.md` to completely strip Section 6 (Visible Proposal Protocol). Agents should be instructed to synthesize the Fat Ticket and immediately execute the `create_issue` tool without seeking explicit user-side verification in the chat output.

**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] Remove Section 6 (Visible Proposal Protocol) from `ticket-create-workflow.md`.
- [ ] Remove the `ticket-proposal-template.md` from the `assets` folder if it is no longer referenced.
- [ ] Update any references in `AGENTS.md` or other skills that cite the visible proposal requirement.

**Out of Scope**
Relaxing the Human-in-the-Loop Protocol for PR merges. The final merge remains strictly manual.

**Avoided Traps / Gold Standards Rejected**
- **Trap:** Maintaining legacy "human every gate" bottlenecks out of fear of tracker pollution. The five-stage challenge chain (Gate 1-5) inside the prompt is sufficient to prevent low-quality tickets; the human does not need to verify the output manually before creation.
