SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms raw backlog issues from Linear into structured, TDD-ready implementation plans, ensuring clarity and reducing ambiguity before development begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Planning: Converts Linear backlog items into detailed PLANS.md documents.
  • Issue Triage: Validates and cancels irrelevant or invalid backlog issues.
  • Codebase Contextualization: Explores the codebase and CLAUDE.md to inform plan generation.
  • Use Case: When you have a list of bugs or feature requests in Linear, this Skill will analyze them, filter out any that are no longer relevant, and create a step-by-step plan for tackling the rest, moving them to the 'Todo' state.

Quick Start

Use the plan-backlog skill to plan all issues currently in the backlog.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert Linear backlog issues into TDD implementation plans?▼

You can convert Linear backlog issues into TDD implementation plans by analyzing your codebase and CLAUDE.md, triaging invalid items, and writing detailed step-by-step plans to PLANS.md.

How does backlog triage work when planning Linear issues?▼

Backlog triage validates Linear issues by analyzing codebase context, automatically canceling irrelevant or invalid backlog items, and moving actionable issues to the Todo state for development.

What is the best way to generate actionable plans from a Linear backlog?▼

Generating actionable plans from a Linear backlog requires analyzing repository context and CLAUDE.md, filtering out obsolete issues, and outputting structured TDD-ready plans to a PLANS.md file.

Can I plan all backlog items in Linear at once or do I need specific issue selectors?▼

You can plan all backlog items at once or use specific issue selectors to target individual Linear issues, with the Skill triaging and generating plans for the selected scope.

Do I need a CLAUDE.md file to generate implementation plans from Linear issues?▼

A CLAUDE.md file is analyzed alongside the codebase to provide contextual information for generating accurate TDD implementation plans from your Linear backlog.

Why are my Linear backlog issues being canceled during the planning process?▼

Linear backlog issues are canceled during planning when the codebase analysis identifies them as invalid or no longer relevant, ensuring only actionable items proceed to the Todo state.
