SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Keeping track of assigned Linear issues, new comments, blockers, and @mentions across teams is time-consuming, and important updates are easy to miss during a busy day. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Assigned Issue Review: Queries the Linear MCP server for your open issues, fetches full details including comments, labels, and due dates, and categorizes them by urgency. - Mention Detection: Finds issues where you were @mentioned but are not the assignee, classifying each as Action Required or FYI Only. - Prioritized Report Generation: Produces a structured markdown report with summary statistics, priority-grouped issues, checkbox action items, and clickable Linear links. - Use Case: Start your morning by asking for a Linear review to get a prioritized list of urgent issues, stalled work needing status updates, blockers to escalate, and mentions awaiting your response. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review my Linear issues and generate a prioritized report of what needs my attention today.

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I review my assigned Linear issues automatically?▼

Use the Linear MCP server to query issues where you are the assignee, excluding Done and Canceled states, ordered by priority and update time. The skill fetches full details including comments and due dates, then generates a prioritized markdown report.

How does Linear issue prioritization work in this review?▼

Issues are categorized using Linear's numeric priority (1=Urgent, 2=High, 3=Medium, 4/0=Low) combined with signals like state, recent comments, due dates within two days, and blocked status. Urgent items include production issues and anything with new comments in the last 24 hours.

Can this skill detect Linear @mentions in comments?▼

Yes, when mentions are enabled in config, it searches for issues where you are mentioned but not assigned. Mentions are classified as Action Required if they contain questions, action keywords, or are recent, otherwise they are marked FYI Only.

Does the Linear reviewer modify or update issues automatically?▼

No, the skill is strictly read-only by default. It never updates issue status, adds comments, or changes assignees without explicit user confirmation, and every issue in the report includes a clickable Linear link for manual action.

What happens if the Linear MCP connection fails?▼

The skill checks authentication first and asks you to verify the Linear MCP server configuration. If the connection still fails, it offers to skip the Linear review, and for rate limiting it suggests waiting or processing in smaller batches.
