linear-discipline skillA
linear-discipline is agent-read markdown (skill) from tjcages/skills: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@v1.0.2mdr add tjcages/skills/linear-discipline@sha256:357c246ea2f487e5Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
