SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Linear workflow management often requires manual, repetitive steps across issues, boards, and cycles; this skill automates those via Linear MCP and plugin commands to reduce toil and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP-powered operations: list, get, create, update, and delete issues, boards, cycles using the Linear MCP server.
  • Plugin commands for rapid actions: quick slash commands to view boards, cycles, and perform status updates.
  • Contextual enrichment: leverage issue-enricher agent to auto-suggest attributes and improve automation results.
  • Use Case: a backend team audits open issues in a sprint and updates statuses in bulk with one workflow.

Quick Start

Use the Linear API Skill to fetch the current board for a team and list active issues.
