How do I process multiple Linear issues in parallel to reduce manual triage?

You can process multiple Linear issues in parallel by executing the linear-issue lifecycle concurrently across assigned tickets. This Skill automates workflow steps and batch approvals to accelerate large-scale issue management.

Can I batch plan-review and pre-merge approvals across multiple Linear tickets?

Yes, batch plan-review and pre-merge approvals across multiple Linear tickets are supported. This allows you to coordinate code merges and approve multiple issues simultaneously to save time during feature pushes.

Do I need the Linear API and GitHub CLI to automate large-scale issue management?

Yes, automating large-scale issue management requires the Linear API, git, and gh dependencies. These tools provide the seamless operation needed for parallel issue processing and coordinated code merges.

What's the best way to drain a large backlog of Linear issues before a big feature push?

The best way to drain a large Linear backlog is to run this Skill to process all ready issues simultaneously. It handles parallel processing and batch approvals to ensure faster coordination for feature pushes.

When should I avoid using parallel processing for Linear issue resolution?

You should avoid parallel processing for Linear issue resolution when dealing with sequential dependencies between issues. This Skill is designed for large-scale concurrent processing rather than isolated, single-ticket troubleshooting.
