You can generate an implementation plan from a Linear issue by fetching issue data through the Linear API and synthesizing a structured task briefing. Provide an issue identifier like MC-123 or a full URL to retrieve details, priority, and status for actionable planning.

Yes, you can use a Linear URL to fetch issue context for task onboarding. The skill accepts issue identifiers via CLI or a full Linear URL to retrieve data, summarize the task, and produce a ready-to-use plan and onboarding briefing for the assigned task.

Yes, you need curl and jq to parse Linear API responses for issue tracking. The skill requires these dependencies alongside a LINEAR_API_KEY to access the Linear API, fetch issue details, and parse the returned JSON results into a structured implementation plan.

The best way to prepare for engineering work on a new Linear task is to fetch the issue details and generate a comprehensive implementation plan. This approach summarizes the task, priority, and status, and provides a structured checklist to ensure thorough preparation before coding.

Automating Linear issue planning requires a LINEAR_API_KEY to authenticate requests and fetch issue data. Combined with curl and jq, the API key allows the script to access your Linear workspace, parse the JSON response, and generate a structured task briefing.
