# Create Rig & Skinning Tickets
Creates a parent ticket and subtask for rig & skinning based on the unit pipeline template.
## Process
1. **Get Parameters**
- Unit name (e.g., "Steam Sage")
- Start date (e.g., "May 11th" or "2026-05-11") - optional, will check dependency first
- Assignee name (e.g., "Felipe Chaves")
2. **Check 3D Lowpoly Dependency**
- Search for `{Unit Name} - 3D` parent ticket using `clickup_search`
- If found, get full task details with `clickup_get_task` and `subtasks=true`
- Look for `{Unit Name} - Lowpoly` subtask
- Check status:
- If **completed**: proceed with provided start date (or day after lowpoly completion)
- If **not completed**:
- Warn user that lowpoly is not done yet
- Suggest start date = lowpoly due_date + 1 working day
- Ask user to confirm or provide override date
- If 3D parent ticket not found: warn user and ask to confirm proceeding without dependency check
3. **Find Assignee**
- Use `clickup_find_member_by_name` to get user ID
4. **Load Estimates**
- Read `planning/pods/unit/rig_skinning_estimates.md` for task durations
5. **Calculate Schedule**
- Calculate working days (excluding weekends)
- Start from validated/confirmed start date (after dependency check)
- Single task based on estimates:
- Rig & Skin: 4 days
- Parent ticket spans from first task start to last task end
6. **Check Assignee Workload Conflicts**
Before creating the parent ticket, verify the assignee isn't already overloaded during the proposed window.
- Call `clickup_filter_tasks` with:
- `assignees`: [found user ID]
- `due_date_from`: proposed parent start date
- `include_closed`: false
- `subtasks`: true
- Post-filter the results — keep only tasks that:
- Have **both** `start_date` and `due_date` set (otherwise overlap is undefined)
- Have `start_date` **on or before** the proposed parent due date (otherwise they begin after our work ends)
- The survivors are the **conflicts**.
- **No conflicts:** proceed to the next step.
- **Conflicts exist:**
1. Show the user the conflict list — for each: task name, custom ID, status, `start → due` dates, URL.
2. Compute `suggested_start = max(due_date among conflicts) + 1 working day` (skip Sat/Sun).
3. Use `AskUserQuestion` with three options:
- **Reschedule to {suggested_start}** (Recommended) — recompute the entire schedule from this new start.
- **Proceed anyway** — accept the overlap and create the tickets as planned.
- **Pick a different start date** — user provides a custom date; recompute.
4. If the user reschedules (suggested or custom), **re-run this check** with the new dates. Loop until either no conflicts remain or the user chooses "Proceed anyway".
7. **Create Parent Ticket**
- Name: `{Unit Name} - Rig`
- List ID: `901208416337` (Product Backlog)
- Start/Due dates: calculated span
- Assignee: found user ID
- Custom field "🪷 Lotus Pod" = "Battle" (ID: `ee297ee9-3b42-4f32-b3d8-b577debf883f`, value: `a1bd403a-aafc-4224-834f-6a75a452e761`)
- Tag: "rig"
- Task type: `"Deliverable"` (parent only — subtasks use the default task type)
- Parent: `86ag91381` (Unit Content parent)
8. **Create Subtask**
- {Unit Name} - Rig & Skin
With:
- Calculated start/due dates (4 working days)
- Time estimate: 115,200,000 ms (4 days = 32 hours)
- Same assignee as parent
- Lotus Pod custom field = "Battle"
- Parent: the newly created parent ticket ID
9. **Return Summary**
- Parent ticket ID and URL
- Subtask ID and URL with dates
- Total duration
## Custom Field Details
**Lotus Pod Field:**
- Field ID: `ee297ee9-3b42-4f32-b3d8-b577debf883f`
- Battle option ID: `a1bd403a-aafc-4224-834f-6a75a452e761`
- Set using: `custom_fields` parameter with `[{"id": "ee297ee9-3b42-4f32-b3d8-b577debf883f", "value": "a1bd403a-aafc-4224-834f-6a75a452e761"}]`
## Time Estimates (milliseconds)
- 4 days = 115,200,000 ms (32 hours)
## Example Usage
User: Create rig tickets for "Steam Sage" starting May 27th, assign to Felipe Chaves
## Notes
- **Dependency Check**: Automatically checks if `{Unit Name} - Lowpoly` subtask is completed before scheduling
- If lowpoly not done, suggests start date based on lowpoly due_date + 1 working day
- User can override dependency check if needed
- Weekends (Saturday/Sunday) are excluded from working days
- All dates calculated sequentially (one task after another)
- Parent ticket gets parent ID: `86ag91381` (Unit Content parent)
- Total pipeline time: 4 working days (32 hours)
