SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a large initiative into an actionable plan is error-prone: scope is vague, milestones are missing, and work gets created in Linear without approval. This Skill structures an initiative-sized ask into a complete Linear project — name, outcome, success metric, milestones, and a seed backlog — with a mandatory human approval gate before anything is created. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Intake: Collects working name, outcome, customer, surfaces, success metric, time horizon, owner, and non-goals through a guided brief. - Org-Knowledge Pre-Flight: Searches prior organizational knowledge to detect whether the initiative already fits an existing Linear project before drafting. - Draft-First Planning: Produces a full project plan draft (outcome, success metric, non-goals, 2–4 milestones, 3–7 seed issues) in chat before touching Linear. - Approval-Gated Execution: Creates the project, milestones, and labeled seed issues in Linear only after explicit operator approval. - Use Case: An operator says "Set up the audit library OSS wave 2 initiative." The skill checks org knowledge, drafts a plan with three milestones and five seed issues, waits for approval, then creates everything in Linear and hands off to feature-factory. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a new project for your initiative and answer the intake questions about outcome, metric, and scope.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Linear project from an initiative idea?▼

Invoke the project-planner skill with your initiative. It collects a structured brief (outcome, metric, milestones, seed issues), posts a draft plan, and creates everything in Linear only after you explicitly approve.

When should I use project-planner instead of feature-factory?▼

Use project-planner when the work is too big for a single ticket or fits no existing project. Single features or bugfixes should go directly through feature-factory, which can also trigger project-planner via its project-decision heuristic.

Does project-planner create anything in Linear without approval?▼

No. The skill posts a draft plan in chat and halts until the operator replies with an approval command. Only then does it create the project, milestones, and seed issues in Linear.

How does project-planner avoid duplicate projects?▼

Before drafting, it searches organizational knowledge from the last 60 days. If a strong match points to an existing Linear project, it halts and asks whether to fold the work in as a milestone instead.

What are the limitations of project-planner?▼

It does not add milestones to existing projects, create GitHub repos, or do sprint planning. It also halts if Linear is unavailable or the operator cannot supply enough brief detail.
