SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turn shaped work into trackable Linear work items by organizing into initiatives, projects, and issues with clear AFK/HITL classification and dependency ordering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Classify work by AFK or HITL to determine automation readiness and human-in-the-loop needs.
  • Create Linear initiatives, projects, and issues from shaped documentation sources (e.g., PRDs, Obsidian shapes, capability lists).
  • Establish dependency order across projects to reflect execution priority and risk containment.
  • Use case: Convert a product spec into a Linear plan that links outcomes to measurable targets.

Quick Start

Provide your shaped docs (PRD, Obsidian folder, or capability list) and I will scaffold a Linear initiative with projects and issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a PRD into Linear initiatives and projects?

To turn a PRD into Linear initiatives, you provide your shaped documentation and the tool scaffolds the work into Linear initiatives, projects, and issues mapped to outcomes and deadlines.

What is AFK and HITL classification for work management?

AFK and HITL classification determines automation readiness and human-in-the-loop needs, organizing shaped work into trackable Linear items based on whether tasks require manual intervention.

How do I set dependency ordering across Linear projects?

Setting dependency ordering across Linear projects involves establishing execution priority and risk containment by structuring issues to reflect the sequence required for project completion.

Can I convert Obsidian notes into trackable Linear issues?

You can convert Obsidian notes into trackable Linear issues by using the shaped documentation sources from your Obsidian folders to scaffold projects with clear dependency ordering.

Does this work for project scoping and task decomposition from capability lists?

This works for project scoping and task decomposition by taking capability lists and organizing the work into Linear structures that map directly to measurable targets and outcomes.

What is the best way to link product specs to measurable targets in Linear?

The best way to link product specs to measurable targets in Linear is converting shaped work into initiatives and issues with dependency ordering that reflects execution priority.
