FAQPage Schema

How do I batch-create Linear issues from a markdown plan file?▼

Batch-creating Linear issues from a markdown plan file involves reading plans/PROGRESS.md, prompting for target team selection, and generating issues via the Linear MCP server. The skill then updates the plan file by annotating each entry with its corresponding Linear issue URL.

How does syncing Linear issue URLs back to project plans work?▼

Syncing Linear issue URLs back to project plans works by creating issues from selected plan content and then writing the returned linear_issue URLs directly into the original plans/PROGRESS.md file. This ensures your local markdown roadmap stays linked to the tracking system.

Do I need the Linear MCP server to create issues from PROGRESS.md?▼

Yes, you need the Linear MCP server available to create issues from PROGRESS.md. The skill explicitly validates Linear MCP availability before reading the plan file and uses the mcp__linear-server__create_issue function to interact with your Linear workspace.

Can I select specific plans from PROGRESS.md to create Linear issues?▼

Yes, you can select specific plans from PROGRESS.md to create Linear issues. The skill reads the file to identify candidate plans and prompts you for plan selection, ensuring only the chosen roadmap entries are transformed into Linear issues.

What is the best way to automate project management issue tracking from markdown?▼

Automating project management issue tracking from markdown is best handled by using a skill that parses plans/PROGRESS.md, creates Linear issues via MCP integration, and writes the issue URLs back into the file. This eliminates manual creation work and maintains bidirectional links.

What are the limitations of automating Linear issue creation from markdown files?▼

Limitations of automating Linear issue creation from markdown files include strict dependence on the plans/PROGRESS.md file structure for parsing and the requirement of a valid Linear MCP connection. The skill cannot create issues if the MCP server is unavailable or the plan format is unrecognized.
