SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Coordinating issue triage, sprint planning, and project updates in Linear requires many manual clicks and context switches. This Skill provides a structured workflow for reading, creating, and updating Linear tickets, projects, and documentation directly from the AI agent via the Linear MCP server. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Issue Management: List, search, create, and update issues with priorities, labels, cycles, and assignees using tools like list_issues, create_issue, and update_issue. - Project & Team Workflows: Manage projects, teams, cycles, and users for sprint planning, release planning, and workload balancing. - Documentation & Collaboration: Search documentation, read comments, and post status updates to keep teams aligned. - Use Case: During bug triage, list all critical bugs for a team, rank them by user impact, move the top items to "In Progress", and summarize remaining blockers in one session. ## Quick Start Connect the Linear MCP server with OAuth, then ask the agent to list my open Linear issues and move the highest-priority bug to In Progress.
