What this Skill does
Manage issues, projects & team workflows in Linear. Use when the user wants to read, create or updates tickets in Linear.
How the upstream workflow works
Practical Workflows
Sprint Planning: Review open issues for a target team, pick top items by priority, and create a new cycle (e.g., "Q1 Performance Sprint") with assignments. Bug Triage: List critical/high-priority bugs, rank by user impact, and move the top items to "In Progress." Documentation Audit: Search documentation (e.g., API auth), then open labeled "documentation" issues for gaps or outdated sections with detailed fixes. Team Workload Balance: Group active issues by assignee, flag anyone with high load, and suggest or apply redistributions.

Upstream passage · L14 ↗Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
