Proven methodology for building and tracking features, projects, and issues in Linear. Use when the user wants to set up Linear tracking, sync or audit a board, run a Linear health check, finish install after skills add, or keep session discipline honest. Routes to linear-setup / linear-sync / linear-monitor / linear-finish-install as needed; linear-discipline is always-on.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Linear Methodology

> Keep Linear useful by making it reflect the project, the repository, and the work actually happening.

## What it does

- Anchors tracking to the project's North Star and real roadmap.
- Sets up or repairs projects, milestones, issues, labels, and dependencies.
- Reconciles Linear with repository evidence instead of trusting stale tickets.
- Keeps active work current and closes the loop when work ships.

## How it works

1. Read [RESPONSE.md](./RESPONSE.md) for concise, action-first chat.
2. Read [AUTH.md](./AUTH.md), then verify Linear access before any call.
3. Route the request:
   - Set up, backfill, or start tracking → `linear-setup`
   - Sync, audit, or rescue a board → `linear-sync`
   - Check project health → `linear-monitor`
   - Finish installation → `linear-finish-install`
4. Apply `linear-discipline` throughout the session.
5. Use [METHODOLOGY.md](./METHODOLOGY.md) when the routed skill needs deeper guidance.

Default ambiguous requests like “set up Linear tracking” to `linear-setup`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tjcages/skills/linear-methodology@sha256:d4cf3ecd188b19d7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
