 Bypassing `lisa-tracker-write` produces thin tickets that the rest of the lifecycle (triage, ticket-verify, journey, evidence) treats as broken. Read operations on Atlassian (ticket reads, JQL search, Confluence page reads, comment fetches) are still performed in this skill — but ONLY via `lisa-atlassian-access` (`operation: read-ticket | search-issues | read-page | search-pages | list-sites`), never via direct MCP tool calls or `acli`.
 
+## Source Requirement Section (shared format)
+
+Every ticket created by this skill — epic, story, and sub-task alike —
+carries a `## Source Requirement` section in its description so anyone can
+answer "why was this done?" without leaving the ticket:
+
+```markdown
+## Source Requirement
+
+- **PRD**: [<PRD title>](<PRD URL>) §"<section heading>"
+- **Requirement (R3)**: "<verbatim requirement text from the PRD>"
+
+This ticket exists to satisfy the quoted requirement. If implementation
+scope drifts from the quoted text, the PRD is the authority — raise the
+conflict rather than silently reinterpreting it.
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- **Verbatim quotes, never paraphrases.** The quote is what survives later
+  PRD edits, and it must be readable by a non-technical operator.
+- **Multiple requirements** → one `**Requirement (Rn)**` line each.
+- **Derived / cross-cutting work** (no single requirement) uses the
+  supporting form instead:
+  `- **Requirement**: Derived work supporting R3, R7 — no single PRD section.`
+- **All the way down**: sub-tasks carry full quotes, not just a pointer at
+  the parent Story, so a leaf claimed by build-intake in isolation is
+  self-explanatory.
+- JIRA descriptions render the section as `h2. Source Requirement`;
+  GitHub/Linear use the markdown heading. `lisa-tracker-write` and the
+  validators treat the section as mandatory for PRD-sourced tickets.

+### Phase 1.4: Requirement Register (traceability)
+
+Every ticket this skill creates must be able to answer "why was this done?"
+by pointing at the PRD requirement it satisfies. Build that mapping now,
+while parsing the PRD — it cannot be reliably reconstructed afterwards.
+
+1. **Atomize the PRD into requirements** in document order: goals, user
+   stories, functional and non-functional requirements, acceptance-criteria
+   bullets, and important notes. Use the same atomization
+   `lisa-prd-ticket-coverage` uses so the two views line up.
+2. **Assign sequential register ids** (`R1`, `R2`, …). Ids are
+   per-generation, not durable — the **verbatim quote is the durable
+   anchor**; if the PRD is edited and re-planned, ids may shift but quotes
+   still identify the requirement.
+3. **Record each entry** as `{ id, verbatim_text, section_heading }` plus
+   the inline-comment anchor capture described in the dry-run format above.
+4. **Tag every planned ticket** — epic, story, AND sub-task — with the
+   register ids it exists to satisfy. All the way down: sub-tasks carry
+   their own requirement quotes so a leaf dispatched in isolation is
+   self-explanatory. A ticket that genuinely traces to no single
+   requirement (cross-cutting infrastructure, derived enablement work)
+   gets `requirements: []` and must say which requirements it *supports*
+   in its Source Requirement section instead.
+
+The register feeds three consumers: the `## Source Requirement` section on
+every created ticket (Phases 3–5), the dry-run report (above), and the
+requirement tokens in the PRD back-link (Phase 7).

 ### Phase 1.5: Extract Source Artifacts
 
 PRDs typically reference external design, UX, and data artifacts (Figma files, Lovable prototypes, Loom walkthroughs, screenshots, example payloads, peer Confluence pages).

+#### S16 — Source Requirement traceability (PRD-sourced tickets)
+
+Answers "why was this done?": every ticket generated from a PRD must carry
+the requirement it exists to satisfy, quoted verbatim, at every level of
+the hierarchy — sub-tasks included, so a leaf claimed by build-intake in
+isolation is self-explanatory.
+
+**When the gate applies.** Run S16 whenever the spec declares `prd_source`
+(all `*-to-tracker` decomposition paths set it). Without `prd_source`
+(ad-hoc tickets with no PRD lineage) the gate is `N/A` — but if a
+`Source Requirement` section is present anyway, still validate its shape
+so a malformed section never passes silently.
+
+**What must be present.** A `Source Requirement` section (`h2.` / `##` in
+proposed text, or an ADF heading in live JIRA) containing:
+
+1. A link to the source PRD (the `**PRD**:` line), and
+2. At least one `**Requirement` line with **verbatim quoted text**, or the
+   explicit derived-work form (`Derived work supporting R3, R7 — no single
+   PRD section.`).
+
+Missing section, missing PRD link, empty/paraphrased requirement text
+(quotes shorter than a few words, or prose with no quotation), or a bare
+R-id with no quote: FAIL with remediation
+`"Add a Source Requirement section citing the PRD link and quoting the requirement(s) this ticket satisfies verbatim (see the Source Requirement shared format in the *-to-tracker skills). Derived work must name the requirements it supports."`
+
+`product_relevant: true` — a ticket whose requirement cannot be traced is
+a product-clarity problem: nobody can tell why the work exists.
