SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of translating an idea into a new Linear task by capturing the essential fields quickly and creating the issue in the correct ProductFlash team.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Low-friction task capture: Accepts a one-line prompt via /task <description> and derives a concise title plus a structured description.
  • Smart clarification only when needed: Bundles at most one round of questions (fast-track, labels only when ambiguous, and blockers/dependencies only when implied).
  • Optionally fast-track: If the user indicates urgent priority, it creates the task in Todo with Urgent priority so it can be picked up promptly.

Quick Start

Use /task when you want to capture an idea and create a corresponding Linear task in the ProductFlash team.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Linear task from a quick idea without filling out multiple fields?

Creating a Linear task from an idea requires providing a one-line description, from which the tool derives a concise title and structured markdown description automatically. It captures essential backlog items with minimal friction.

Can I fast-track a Linear task to Todo status with Urgent priority?

You can fast-track a Linear task to Todo status with Urgent priority by indicating urgency in your prompt. The tool creates the issue immediately so your engineering team can pick it up promptly.

How does this tool handle labels and dependencies when creating a Linear task?

The tool calls the Linear server to list available team labels, saving the issue with inferred priorities and optional label metadata. It only asks for clarification on dependencies when blockers are explicitly implied.

What is the best way to capture product management backlog items into Linear quickly?

Capturing product management backlog items into Linear is best handled by submitting a single prompt that automatically derives the title and structured description. It restricts clarifications to a single round to maintain workflow speed.

Does this task creation method support adding markdown descriptions to Linear issues?

The task creation method supports assembling clear markdown descriptions for Linear issues automatically. It takes your raw idea and formats it into a structured summary before saving it to the specified team.
