SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When someone joins a Linear project midway, they cannot reconstruct why decisions were made or where the project currently stands from scattered issues, Slack threads, meeting notes, and PRs. This Skill consolidates those sources into a single chronological document focused on decisions, current status, and next steps rather than raw work logs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-source aggregation: Pulls context from Linear issues, milestones, and documents plus Slack threads, Notion pages, Google Meet notes, and GitHub PRs via dedicated fetch skills. - Decision-focused timeline: Filters out routine status changes and work logs, keeping only scope changes, key decisions, milestone completions, and blockers, organized by date with linked evidence. - Safe write workflow: Always presents a draft for user approval before creating or updating the Linear project document, and stops on authentication errors instead of falling back to partial writes. - Use Case: A new engineer joins a project. Run this Skill against the Linear project to produce a timeline document covering what was decided, the current milestone position, and links to the key artifacts they need to read. ## Quick Start Use the workflow-update-linear-project-timeline skill to create a chronological decision and status document for this Linear project, covering everything since the project started.

Frequently Asked Questions about workflow-update-linear-project-timeline

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a project timeline document in Linear?▼

Provide the Linear project URL, name, or ID and optionally a target period and reader. The skill fetches linked issues, milestones, and external sources, drafts a date-organized timeline of decisions and status, and writes it as a Linear project document only after your approval.

How do I update an existing Linear project timeline with recent decisions?▼

Pass the existing document URL or title along with the project. The skill reads the last recorded date, fetches only new significant events since then, verifies current milestone and issue states against live Linear data, and appends the updates after you approve the draft.

What information sources can be aggregated into a Linear project timeline?▼

The skill pulls from Linear issues, milestones, and documents, plus Slack threads, Notion pages, Google Meet notes and transcripts, and GitHub PRs through dedicated fetch skills. It selects only sources relevant to the timeline rather than exhaustively fetching everything.

Does this skill write directly to Linear without confirmation?▼

No. It always presents a draft showing the document title, target project, and key additions before writing. Linear writes happen only after explicit user approval, and major rewrites of existing documents require explicit consent.

What happens when Linear authentication fails during timeline creation?▼

The skill stops immediately on errors like 401 Reauthentication required or oauth_token_invalid_grant. It reports the authentication error and asks you to re-authenticate rather than falling back to comment-based partial updates or alternative tools.

What content is excluded from the Linear project timeline?▼

Routine status changes, issue creation and completion logs, bot notifications, full comment threads, and meeting transcripts are excluded. Only scope changes, key decisions, milestone-level completions, blocker events, and current-position changes are recorded.
