SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visualize and analyze issue dependencies in Linear to reveal blocking chains, circular dependencies, and critical paths that slow down delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Visualize Dependencies: Generate a dependency graph of Linear issues to understand relationships.
  • Analyze Blocking Chains: Identify longest blockers and bottlenecks in the backlog.
  • Detect Circular Dependencies: Surface cycles that prevent progress.
  • Identify Critical Path: Highlight the longest chain from work item to completion to prioritize.

Quick Start

Run linear deps ENG-100 to visualize dependencies and begin identifying blockers.

Frequently Asked Questions about deps

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize issue dependencies in Linear to find blocking chains?▼

To visualize issue dependencies in Linear, this Skill generates a dependency graph from your issues to reveal blocking chains and bottlenecks that slow down delivery across your backlog and sprints. Run linear deps ENG-100 to start.

How can I detect circular dependencies in my Linear backlog?▼

Detect circular dependencies in your Linear backlog by running this Skill to surface cycles that prevent progress. It analyzes issue relationships automatically to highlight blocking loops within your team roadmap.

What is the critical path in Linear issue tracking and how do I identify it?▼

The critical path in Linear issue tracking is the longest chain from a work item to completion. Identify it by applying this Skill to highlight the longest dependency chain, allowing you to prioritize work and assess delivery risks.

Can I analyze Linear sprint dependencies for risk assessment?▼

Yes, you can analyze Linear sprint dependencies for risk assessment. This Skill applies dependency visualization to team backlogs and roadmaps, revealing bottlenecks and blocking chains to help you evaluate and mitigate delivery risks.

What is the best way to optimize feature dependencies in Linear?▼

The best way to optimize feature dependencies in Linear is to generate a dependency graph and analyze the critical path. This Skill provides deterministic workflow recommendations based on blocking chains and circular dependencies.

Why does my Linear issue keep getting blocked by other dependencies?▼

Your Linear issue keeps getting blocked because it sits within a blocking chain or circular dependency. This Skill visualizes these relationships to reveal the exact upstream blockers preventing your work item from progressing.
