name: linear-methodology
- version: 1.0.2
description: >-
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.

# Linear Methodology
- Pack: `linear-setup` · `linear-sync` · `linear-monitor` · `linear-discipline` · `linear-finish-install`
+ > Keep Linear useful by making it reflect the project, the repository, and the work actually happening.
- | Ask | Skill |
- |-----|-------|
- | Set up / backfill / track this project | `linear-setup` |
- | Sync / audit / rescue a board | `linear-sync` |
- | Health check / `/linear-monitor` | `linear-monitor` |
- | `finish linear-tracking install` | `linear-finish-install` |
- | Always-on close-the-loop | `linear-discipline` (user rule) |
+ ## What it does
- Chat: [RESPONSE.md](./RESPONSE.md). Auth: [AUTH.md](./AUTH.md). Method: [METHODOLOGY.md](./METHODOLOGY.md).
+ - 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.
- Default for ambiguous “set up Linear tracking” phrasing: follow **`linear-setup`**.
+ ## 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`.
