SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns vague or messy user input—like a brain dump, bug report, or feature idea—into a clear, well-structured Linear issue that’s ready for execution and review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Input-to-issue structuring: Interprets the user’s raw text and extracts a task Type, Title, Description, Priority, Labels, Project, and Milestone.
  • Priority and labeling intelligence: Suggests priority and relevant labels based on keywords (for example, bugs, security concerns, UI impact, or encryption-related work).
  • Duplicate detection workflow: Checks existing open tasks for similar titles before creating a new issue, prompting the user to confirm whether it’s a duplicate.
  • User confirmation step: Shows a “New Task Preview” for explicit Create vs Edit control before any Linear issue is saved.

Quick Start

Use the new-task skill and say: "Create a Linear task from: <your raw input about the bug, idea, or request>."
