FAQPage Schema
How do I organize tasks in Linear using GTD methodology?

GTD in Linear uses status mappings for task organization: capture items to your In list, triage to Backlog, schedule work to This Week or Next, flag dependencies as Waiting For, and mark completed items Done. AI assistance helps clarify next actions and prioritize across these buckets.

Can I use AI to triage my Linear inbox automatically?

Yes, this Skill provides AI-assisted triage to help you process inbox items, clarify actionable next steps, and route tasks to the appropriate Linear status (Backlog, This Week, Next, or Waiting For) based on GTD principles.

What's the best way to capture tasks from multiple channels into Linear?

This Skill supports multi-channel task capture into a single Linear In list via MCP-based item creation. Tasks flow through triage and organize workflows before progressive prioritization moves them from Backlog to Next as needed.

How do I run a weekly review with GTD in Linear?

Weekly reviews process your full Linear system—review In and Backlog for new items, reassess This Week and Next for progress, clear Done items, follow up on Waiting For dependencies, and reprioritize using context and agenda labels with AI guidance.

Does this GTD system work with Linear's existing labels and statuses?

Yes, the Skill maps GTD concepts directly to Linear statuses and labels: In, Backlog, This Week, Next, Waiting For, Agenda, and Done statuses work alongside context and agenda labels for flexible task organization.

What problem does offloading my task list to an external system solve?

Capturing and organizing all tasks externally in Linear frees your mind from constant mental tracking, allowing you to focus on productive thinking instead of remembering what needs attention and when.
