SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams understand the interdependencies between Linear issues by rendering a visual graph of blockers, relationships, and project scopes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Visualizes dependency chains across projects or initiatives.
  • Generates a Graphviz graph with project-colored clusters and deduplicated edges.
  • Useful for planning, progress reviews, and identifying bottlenecks across multiple teams.

Quick Start

Render a dependency graph for your Linear issues to understand blockers and project relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions about linear-visualize

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize Linear issue dependencies and blockers?

Visualizing Linear issue dependencies involves generating a Graphviz graph of blockers and relationships using the Linear CLI. It produces a graph.dot file and renders project clusters to help identify bottlenecks.

Can I visualize dependencies across an entire Linear initiative or just a single project?

Yes, you can visualize dependencies across an entire Linear initiative or a single project. The graph generates per-project clusters with colored nodes and deduplicated edges to map relationships at either scope.

Do I need Graphviz installed to render Linear dependency graphs?

You need Graphviz installed to render Linear dependency graphs. The skill assumes Graphviz is available for rendering the graph.dot file and relies on the Linear CLI for data retrieval.

What is the best way to identify blocker bottlenecks across multiple Linear teams?

Generating a Graphviz dependency graph across a Linear initiative is the best way to identify blocker bottlenecks. It creates a visual map of per-project clusters with colored nodes to reveal cross-team blockers.

What output files are generated when mapping Linear issue relations?

When mapping Linear issue relations, the skill generates a manifest.json file and a graph.dot file. The graph.dot file contains the deduplicated edges and project clusters for Graphviz rendering.
