linear-task-management

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent issue naming, labels, priorities, and status transitions can fragment work across teams and agents and make feature decomposition, parallel execution, and session resumption unreliable. This Skill provides a clear, repeatable set of conventions and workflows that ensure issues are created, tracked, and transitioned consistently on a Linear board so agents and humans can coordinate without stepping on each other's changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Naming & Partitioning: Standard area-prefixed issue titles and a Files (partition) section to prevent overlapping file edits when multiple agents work in parallel.
• Priority & Status Workflow: Defined priority levels and a status lifecycle that maps agent-driven transitions and GitHub PR automations to Linear states.
• Bug & Session Handling: Guidance for capturing discovered issues, creating tracked bug tickets, and resuming interrupted sessions by reading In Progress and Todo issues.
• MCP Integration: Works with an MCP connector to create, list, get, update, and search issues programmatically and relies on a Linear API key for authentication.

Quick Start

Use the linear-task-management skill to decompose a new feature into Linear issues with area-prefixed names, labels, priorities, acceptance criteria, and Files partitions so agents can be assigned without overlap.
