What problem does it solve?
Manually creating and maintaining Linear issues for approved feature specs is time-consuming, error-prone, and often breaks traceability between original requirements and tracked work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Hierarchical Issue Creation: Automatically translates approved tasks.md, requirements.md, and design.md inputs into a tree of labeled Linear issues (feature → story → task) with correct parentId nesting and traceability links.
- Consistent Convention Enforcement: Applies standardized labels for issue type, feature association, requirement mapping, skill routing, and execution engine assignment to align with team workflows.
- Backlog Amendment Support: Handles updates to existing Linear backlogs when specs change, including adding, removing, or editing tasks without breaking audit trails.
- Use Case: For software teams using Linear as their project tracker, this skill eliminates hours of manual backlog setup and ensures every tracked task is directly linked to its original approved spec and requirement.
Quick Start
Use the linear-backlog-manager skill to publish the approved user authentication feature spec to the Ontoledgy Linear project as a structured nested backlog of issues.
