SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Linear issue creation and rewriting can be error-prone and time-consuming without a precise template; this skill provides a consistent, agent-ready pattern to generate high-quality Linear cards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent-ready card template enforcement: ensures summaries, acceptance criteria, scope, and verification sections are present.
  • MCP-first workflow: prioritizes MCP-based actions with CLI fallback when needed, enabling reproducible automation.
  • Use cases include creating new issues, rewriting existing ones, writing spikes, and improving issue descriptions for clarity and execution.

Quick Start

Draft an agent-ready Linear card by outlining the objective, acceptance criteria, scope, and verification steps using the agent-ready template.

Frequently Asked Questions about linear-write

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Linear issues that are ready for automated execution?▼

To create Linear issues ready for automated execution, use a structured card template enforcing precise acceptance criteria, scope, and verification steps. This approach ensures deterministic execution by reducing ambiguity and maintaining consistency across issue drafting.

What is an agent-ready card template for Linear issue tracking?▼

An agent-ready card template for Linear issue tracking is a standardized format that mandates specific sections like summaries, acceptance criteria, scope, and verification steps. This structure ensures issues are drafted with precision for consistent, automated processing.

How do I rewrite existing Linear issues to improve clarity and execution scope?▼

Rewrite existing Linear issues by applying an agent-ready template that refines the objective, acceptance criteria, scope, and verification steps. This process improves issue descriptions for clarity and ensures consistent, deterministic execution across your engineering workflow.

Does this Linear issue automation skill work with MCP-based tooling?▼

Yes, this Linear issue automation skill works with MCP-based tooling by prioritizing MCP-first actions. It includes a CLI fallback mechanism to maintain reproducible automation when MCP-based interactions are unavailable or require alternative execution paths.

When should I use a structured template for Linear spikes and engineering tasks?▼

Use a structured template for Linear spikes and engineering tasks when you need to reduce ambiguity and enforce precise acceptance criteria. This ensures consistent issue drafting, maintains workflow clarity, and provides deterministic verification steps for automated execution.
