Can I identify task blockers and gaps from chat history alongside Linear project data?▼

Yes. The Skill scans chat context for unaddressed work and blockers not yet in Linear, then combines that gap analysis with cycle data to surface overlooked dependencies and prioritize accordingly in your focus document.

What's the best way to prioritize tasks across git history, test results, and project deadlines?▼

The Skill ranks tasks by blocking dependencies, test failures, and cycle deadlines in a single pass. It integrates git history and test results with Linear cycle scope to generate an intelligent prioritization that flows directly into CURRENT-FOCUS.md.

How do I generate a formatted project focus document with strict output constraints?▼

The Skill auto-generates CURRENT-FOCUS.md as UTF-8 Markdown with a strict 75-line limit, applying consistent templates and formatting rules. You simply request an update and receive a ready-to-use document that adheres to your project's structure requirements.

Does this work with Obsidian and other tools in my LifeOS workflow?▼

What data does the Skill need to generate accurate task prioritization?▼

The Skill requires access to your Linear project cycleId for cycle-scoped queries, recent chat context for gap analysis, git history for project momentum, and test results for blocker identification. Linear API credentials and read access to your repository are prerequisites.
