SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams struggle to keep Linear organized: issues lack owners and priorities, backlogs grow stale, and workflow states multiply into parking lots. This Skill provides expert guidance on structuring Linear for engineering velocity. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Issue Structuring: Create issues with clear owners, priorities (P0-P3), Fibonacci estimates, and acceptance criteria using scannable title patterns. - Cycle & Project Planning: Run two-week cycles with explicit carry-over, milestone-based project breakdowns, and triage rotations. - Workflow Automation: Connect Linear to GitHub for automatic state transitions and use the Linear GraphQL API for dashboards and velocity metrics. - Use Case: A new engineering lead inherits a chaotic Linear workspace and uses this Skill to redesign workflow states, set up SLA tracking by priority, and establish a daily triage practice. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help design a Linear triage and cycle planning process for your engineering team. Note: This Skill is deprecated and superseded by the canonical linear skill; use that one for new work.

Frequently Asked Questions about linear-tools

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure Linear issues for better sprint planning?▼

Give every issue a clear owner, priority, and estimate, and use titles in the pattern '[Area] Brief description' for scannable lists. Keep the backlog at a meaningful abstraction level and use sub-issues for breakdowns rather than creating issues for every minor task.

How should I set priority levels in Linear?▼

Use Urgent (P0) for production incidents, High (P1) for current cycle blockers, Medium (P2) for planned work, and Low (P3) for nice-to-have improvements. Define response time targets per priority and filter views by priority and age to catch SLA violations.

Can Linear integrate with GitHub for automatic status updates?▼

Yes. Connect Linear to GitHub so that opening a pull request moves the linked issue to In Review and merging it moves the issue to Done. This removes manual status updates and keeps the board accurate.

What workflow states should a Linear team use?▼

Keep states minimal and meaningful: Backlog, Todo, In Progress, In Review, and Done. Avoid states that become parking lots, and keep states consistent across teams so cross-team collaboration and organization-wide reporting remain possible.

When should I not use this linear-tools skill?▼

This skill is deprecated and superseded by the canonical 'linear' skill, which contains all of its merged content. Use the 'linear' skill for any new Linear project management work instead of extending this file.
