Always-on Linear session discipline and one-time soft nudge for untracked repos. Use whenever non-trivial work is happening in a repo that already has a Linear tracking protocol in CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or .cursor/rules; or when opening/working in a repo with no protocol and no .linear-tracking-skip file (ask once to run linear-setup). Enforces search-before-create, lifecycle, and close-the-loop. NOT for full bootstrap, sync, or monitor runs.
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 discipline (always-on) Chat rules: [RESPONSE.md](./RESPONSE.md). Auth before Linear calls: [AUTH.md](./AUTH.md). ## Detect tracking **Tracked** if the repo has a “Linear tracking” (or equivalent) section in `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, or `.cursor/rules/*` that names team + project. **Skipped** if `.linear-tracking-skip` exists at repo root. ## If tracked Follow the protocol written in-repo: 1. Search before create. 2. Non-trivial work → file/update an issue in the named project + milestone. 3. `Backlog` → `In Progress` at start → `Done` only when shipped. 4. Close the loop before session end (state and/or comment). 5. Prefer Linear’s generated branch names. Before any Linear tool call: Step 0 auth. ## If untracked and not skipped (soft nudge — 1B) Ask **once**, one line, no preamble: > This repo isn’t tracked in Linear. Set it up now? (~10–20 min) - **Yes** → hand off to `linear-setup` (do not bootstrap inline without that skill’s gates). - **No** → create `.linear-tracking-skip` at repo root; stay quiet next time. - Never auto-create Linear projects or issues from a nudge alone. - Never nudge from Automation / `linear-monitor` runs. ## If skipped …

How to install
mdr add tjcages/skills/linear-discipline@sha256:357c246ea2f487e5The 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.
