SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the friction of switching between your terminal and the Linear web interface, allowing you to manage your entire issue lifecycle directly from your development environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

Issue Lifecycle Management: Create, update, and transition issues through states like triage, backlog, and completed without leaving your CLI.
Contextual Integration: Automatically link pull requests, manage project milestones, and track cycles using git branch context.
Use Case: A developer can start work on a ticket by running a single command that creates a git branch and sets the issue status to started, then later create a linked pull request once the code is ready.

Quick Start

Use the linear skill to list all unstarted issues currently assigned to you in your default team.
