SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of inconsistent development workflows by enforcing a disciplined, gate-controlled pipeline that ensures every Linear issue is planned, reviewed, tested, and shipped with high quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrated Pipeline: Manages the entire lifecycle from issue intake and planning to implementation, decorrelated review, and final deployment.
  • Safety Gates: Implements mandatory PLAN and SHIP gates to prevent unauthorized code changes and ensure user sign-off.
  • Use Case: Use this skill when you need to take a Linear issue from start to finish, ensuring that all acceptance criteria are met, tests are verified, and the PR is ready for production.

Quick Start

Invoke the ship-issue skill by providing the Linear issue ID you want to work on to begin the automated development flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate the Linear issue shipping pipeline from planning to deployment?

You automate the Linear issue shipping pipeline by enforcing a structured workflow of planning, decorrelated code review, and gated deployment. This ensures consistent branch management, rigorous TDD, and automated verification of acceptance criteria.

What is a decorrelated code review and when do I need it for software engineering tasks?

Decorrelated code review is an isolated evaluation step preventing bias by separating implementation from review. You need it for software engineering tasks requiring rigorous cross-review, scope hygiene, and strict safety gates before deployment.

How do I enforce mandatory TDD and safety gates in my development lifecycle?

You enforce mandatory TDD and safety gates by applying a gate-controlled pipeline with explicit PLAN and SHIP checkpoints. This prevents unauthorized code changes and requires user sign-off before proceeding to automated verification and deployment.

Can I use this automated pipeline for Linear issues without configuring external dependencies?

Yes, you can use this automated pipeline without configuring external dependencies. It orchestrates the end-to-end development lifecycle natively, requiring only a Linear issue ID to initiate the structured planning, review, and deployment flow.

What's the best way to manage branch lifecycle and scope hygiene for complex Linear issues?

The best way to manage branch lifecycle and scope hygiene is through an orchestrated pipeline enforcing strict safety gates. This approach guarantees every Linear issue satisfies consistent branch management and mandatory post-ship retrospectives.

Why do I need a post-ship retrospective in an automated deployment workflow?

You need a post-ship retrospective in an automated deployment workflow to satisfy requirements for continuous improvement after gated deployment. It ensures every shipped Linear issue undergoes mandatory review, closing the end-to-end development lifecycle loop.
