SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing complex software deliveries requires coordinating gate checks, spec validation, and cross-system handoffs; this skill provides a self-contained process to gate Linear issues, orchestrate VBW planning/execution, and move items to UAT with auditable steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

Gate-based orchestration of Linear issues and VBW handoffs, including spec validation, dependency checks, and milestone gating.
Tier-aware routing with explicit human confirmation, enabling safe progression and clear decision points.
End-to-end workflow from open to close, including building, plan, execute, verify, and close, with structured status updates and audit trails.

Quick Start

Open a Linear issue with /launch PROJ-XXX and follow the gated path to Building, plan with VBW when required, and close to UAT after verification.

FAQPage Schema

How do I coordinate Linear issue gate checks and VBW handoffs for software delivery?▼

To coordinate Linear issue gate checks and VBW handoffs, the launch skill validates specs, routes issues to VBW planning, and transitions items to UAT using structured gating steps and auditable handoffs.

What is the process for moving a Linear milestone through building, planning, and UAT?▼

The process for moving a Linear milestone through to UAT involves opening an issue, validating specs, performing dependency checks, routing to VBW planning, and verifying before closeout to ensure safe progression.

Can I batch execute gate-based launches for multiple Linear issues?▼

Yes, you can batch execute gate-based launches for multiple Linear issues. The skill supports single issues or milestones, enabling batch execution alongside VBW-driven paths with explicit tier selection.

How does complexity routing work when handing off Linear issues to VBW?▼

Complexity routing during VBW handoff works by reading VBW phase state and applying structured gating steps. It requires explicit human confirmation and tier-aware routing to ensure safe progression and clear decision points.

What prerequisite checks are required before transitioning a Linear issue to UAT?▼

Before transitioning a Linear issue to UAT, you must complete dependency checks, milestone readiness validation, and spec verification. These structured gating steps ensure safe progression and auditable closeout.

When should I use a gated launch process for Linear issue management?▼

You should use a gated launch process for Linear issue management when coordinating complex software deliveries that require spec validation, cross-system VBW handoffs, and auditable status updates from building to UAT.
