SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing weekly or biweekly stakeholder updates for Linear projects is repetitive and time-consuming, and generic updates erode stakeholder trust. This Skill drafts a concrete, data-grounded status update from real project activity and posts it only after your explicit approval.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Resolution: Finds the right project from a URL, slug, or UUID, or lists your led active projects sorted by which most needs an update.
  • Audit-Driven Drafting: Runs a project health audit and cites specifics like stale issues, open scope, and target-date risk so the update is concrete rather than generic.
  • Voice Matching: Reads your last 2-3 updates and matches your tone and format so the draft sounds like you wrote it.
  • Use Case: You lead three Linear projects and it is Friday. Ask for a project update, pick the project, add context about a teammate's PTO, review the draft and target-date recommendation, and approve posting in one flow.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to help you write and post a status update for your Linear project, optionally pasting the project URL.

Frequently Asked Questions about linear-project-update

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I post a status update to a Linear project?▼

Provide the project URL, slug, or UUID, or pick from a list of projects you lead. The skill drafts an update from project activity, shows you the draft and any target-date recommendation, and posts only after your explicit approval.

How does the Linear project update draft get its content?▼

It runs a project status audit covering health verdict, recent activity, stale issues, and blockers, then combines that with any context you provide such as PTO or competing priorities. It also reads your last few updates to match your writing voice.

Can the skill post a Linear update without my approval?▼

No. The skill never posts a status update or changes a target date without your explicit confirmation in the same turn. You can submit as-is, request edits, or take the draft and post it yourself.

What if I do not provide a Linear project URL?▼

The skill lists projects you lead or belong to, filters out completed and canceled ones, and sorts them by status and time since the last update. You then pick the project from the presented list.

Does the skill recommend changing the project target date?▼

Yes, when the audit shows the current date is unrealistic given remaining scope. It recommends dates with real headroom, flags small sub-week moves as potentially signaling indecision, and justifies any change with audit specifics.
