# Complete Ticket Workflow
**Purpose:** Finalize a ticket after `/execute-ticket` by transitioning Jira and updating the implementation plan.
---
## Step 1: Identify Ticket and Context
**If argument provided:** Use `$ARGUMENTS` as the ticket key.
**If no argument:** Look back in the conversation for:
- The most recently executed ticket (from `/execute-ticket`)
- The implementation plan URL (extracted during execution)
**If ticket cannot be identified:**
```
I couldn't identify which ticket to complete. Please provide the ticket key:
/complete-ticket <ticket-key>
```
---
## Step 2: Gather Completion Details
**From the Jira ticket:**
- Implementation Plan URL (from ticket description)
**From conversation context:**
| Field | Source |
|-------|--------|
| Ticket Key | From argument or recent `/execute-ticket` |
| Changes Made | From the completion summary presented |
| Files Modified | From the completion summary |
| Tests Added | From the completion summary |
| Deviations | Any approved deviations discussed |
| Follow-up Tickets | Any tickets created during implementation |
**If completion summary not found in context:**
```
I couldn't find a completion summary in this conversation.
Please either:
1. Run `/execute-ticket {ticket-key}` first
2. Provide a brief summary of what was done
```
**If Implementation Plan URL not in ticket:**
```
The ticket doesn't have an Implementation Plan URL.
Please provide the Implementation Plan URL to update:
```
---
## Step 3: Confirm Before Finalizing
Present a brief confirmation:
```
## Ready to Complete {Ticket_Key}
**Changes to make:**
- Transition Jira to "In Review"
- Update implementation plan with completion details
**Summary extracted from context:**
- Files modified: [count]
- Tests added: [count]
- Deviations: [Yes/None]
- Follow-up tickets: [Yes/None]
Proceed? (Yes / No)
```
**Wait for user confirmation before proceeding.**
---
## Step 4: Execute Finalization
**4a. Transition Jira ticket to "In Review"**
```
Use: jira_get_transitions to find "In Review" transition ID
Use: jira_transition_issue to transition the ticket
```
**4b. Update the Implementation Plan in Confluence**
Fetch the current implementation plan page and update:
1. **Completion Status table** - Add row:
| Ticket | Status | Completed Date | Notes |
| [ticket] | ✅ Complete | [today's date] | [brief summary] |
2. **Execution Order table** - Update ticket's Status column to "✅ Complete"
3. **Parallel Execution Strategy wave table** - Update ticket's Status to "✅ Complete"
4. **Add Completion Details section:**
```
## {Ticket_Key} Completion Details
**Completed:** [date]
### Changes Made
* [extracted from summary]
### Tests Added
* [extracted from summary]
### Deviations
[Any deviations, or "None"]
### Follow-up Tickets
[Any follow-up tickets, or "None"]
```
---
## Step 5: Confirm Completion
```
## {Ticket_Key} Completed
- [x] Jira transitioned to "In Review"
- [x] Implementation plan updated (version N)
**Next steps:**
- Create git commit using the suggested commit message
- Create PR when ready
```
---
## Error Handling
**If Jira transition fails:**
- Report the error
- Ask user if they want to retry or skip
**If Confluence update fails:**
- Report the error
- Provide the completion details so user can manually update if needed
**If implementation plan URL not found:**
- Fetch the ticket from Jira
- Extract the implementation plan URL from the description
- If still not found, ask user to provide it
---
## Standalone Usage
This command can be used standalone (without prior `/execute-ticket`) if the user provides details:
```
/complete-ticket CC-123
```
If no context is available, prompt user for:
1. Implementation plan URL
2. Brief summary of changes made
3. Files modified
4. Tests added (if any)
5. Any deviations or follow-up tickets
