SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It removes the friction of manually formatting and filing new linter rule ideas as Linear issues, ensuring every rule proposal follows a consistent title, description, and labeling convention. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standardized Issue Creation: Files issues in the TOOLS-* project of the FineDesigns Linear workspace with a [lint] hyphen-case-lint-name title format. - Concise Descriptions: Enforces 1-2 sentence descriptions without unnecessary detail or filler. - Consistent Triage: Automatically applies the lints label and places the issue at the bottom of the Backlog. - Use Case: While reviewing code, you think of a rule like "disallow default exports". Ask the assistant to file it, and a properly formatted Linear issue appears in the backlog. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to file a new lint rule idea, for example: create a new lint for disallowing default exports.

Descriptions should be one to two sentences maximum with no filler or extra detail unless explicitly requested. The goal is a concise statement of what the rule enforces.
