Digging the idea and incredibly simple implementation - but do you have a model in mind for clean-up? I've been working with it for an hour and have ~30+ tickets across a series of tasks, which are all just named by ID so no obvious way to purge (I could be missing something obvious).

Also, no concept of tags/labels? Are dependencies your primary means of organization?

Ah I don't delete these or really look at the `.tickets/` directory. I have about 1900 tickets in one project and navigate them through VS Code. Ctrl+t does fuzzy finding across all markdown headers and I Crtl+Click in the terminal quite a lot to jump to ticket files.

But yes, dependencies are everything here. I use `tk dep tree` regularly to visualize the graph and click on the things I want details on. Typically I don't have too crazy of a list of open tickets so it's easy enough to find things by running `tk ready` and `tk blocked` and clicking what I'm looking for. For historical things, I just search in the `git log` pager.

If it'd be useful though, I can look at a `tk delete` command that deletes a given ticket and all of its dependencies to clean up a whole tree in one shot. Not sure I'd ever use it myself though.
