Lisa Tracker Claim

Tracker Claim: $ARGUMENTS

Thin dispatcher. $ARGUMENTS must contain exactly one canonical work-item reference. The caller must have already fetched it with lisa-tracker-read; each vendor claim skill independently repeats the live read before mutation and verifies the claim afterward so stale caller context cannot authorize a write.

Workflow

1. Resolve merged tracker config exactly as lisa-tracker-write does:

   local_tracker=$(jq -r '.tracker // empty' .lisa.config.local.json 2>/dev/null)
   global_tracker=$(jq -r '.tracker // empty' .lisa.config.json 2>/dev/null)
   tracker="${local_tracker:-$global_tracker}"
   

2. Dispatch without changing $ARGUMENTS:

   • Missing / empty -> stop and report "No tracker configured in .lisa.config.json. Run /lisa:setup:jira, /lisa:setup:github, or /lisa:setup:linear first."
   • jira -> invoke lisa-jira-claim.
   • github -> invoke lisa-github-claim.
   • linear -> invoke lisa-linear-claim.
   • Anything else -> stop and report "Unknown tracker '<value>' in .lisa.config.json. Expected 'jira', 'github', or 'linear'."

3. Return the vendor result unchanged. Success must include tracker_provider, canonical work_item_ref, claim_outcome: claimed|reused, and the post-write live-read evidence.

Contract

• Claim only an open/unresolved, current-repository leaf per leaf-only-lifecycle and repo-scope-split. Never claim a container, terminal item, inaccessible item, or item from a different configured project.
• Preserve later active lifecycle states. If the item is already in the configured claimed role or a later non-terminal role, return reused; never move it backward.
• A fresh claim uses the same idempotency lock as the three build-intake Phase 3b flows: move configured ready to configured claimed, or place an unlaned backlog leaf directly in claimed; assign to the authenticated user only when unassigned; never replace an existing owner.
• Fail closed if the mutation or post-write read cannot prove the claimed-or-later state. A tracker outage is a blocker, not permission to work untracked.
• This skill claims existing work only. It never creates a ticket and never writes the worktree binding.
