SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the fragmentation of managing large-scale development projects by automating the sequencing and execution of individual issues within an epic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-Aware Sequencing: Automatically identifies and prioritizes the next unblocked issue based on dependency depth and priority.
  • State Synchronization: Re-derives execution state directly from Linear to ensure the workflow is always based on the current source of truth.
  • Use Case: When working on a complex feature epic, use this skill to drive the entire process from planning to PR, ensuring no issues are missed or executed out of order.

Quick Start

Invoke the execute-epic skill to begin working through the unblocked issues for the specified Linear epic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate epic execution and sequence child issues in Linear?

To automate epic execution, you can orchestrate the end-to-end process by sequencing child issues from Linear using dependency-aware prioritization. This automatically identifies and executes the next unblocked issue based on dependency depth and priority to ensure consistent development gates.

What is dependency-aware sequencing for project management workflows?

Dependency-aware sequencing is a project management workflow mechanism that automatically identifies and prioritizes the next unblocked issue within a development epic by analyzing real-time dependency depth and priority constraints.

Do I need a configured ship-issue environment to manage Linear epics?

Yes, managing Linear epics through this workflow requires both an active integration with Linear and a configured ship-issue environment to delegate tasks and maintain consistent development gates throughout the execution process.

How does state synchronization work when orchestrating development epics?

State synchronization works by re-deriving the execution state directly from Linear in real-time. This ensures the workflow continuously relies on the current source of truth for dependency analysis rather than relying on static project snapshots.

What is the best way to handle complex feature epics from planning to PR?

The best way to handle complex feature epics is to use an orchestration workflow that drives the entire process from planning to PR. This approach automates dependency-aware sequencing and delegates tasks to ensure no issues are missed or executed out of order.
