linear-setup skillA

linear-setup is agent-read markdown (skill) from tjcages/skills: Bootstrap or extend Linear project tracking the right way — methodology, not API CRUD. Use when the user asks to set up Linear tracking, track this project in Linear, add this repo to Linear, backfill history, get ready to track, or consents after a soft-nudge from linear-discipline. Anchors to North Star, backfills Done with evidence, wires blockedBy, installs per-repo discipline. NOT for one-off issue create/comment — Linear MCP handles that..

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 setup

Chat rules: [RESPONSE.md](./RESPONSE.md). Auth: [AUTH.md](./AUTH.md). Full method: [METHODOLOGY.md](./METHODOLOGY.md).

## Step 0 — auth

Probe Linear MCP. On failure → AUTH.md steps for this agent; **stop**. Never invent API calls.

## Operating order

Follow **in sequence**. Early gates exist because getting them wrong corrupts live workflows.

### 1. Already tracked? (§1a)

Search Linear by repo name **and** ask the user. Never assume blank slate.

- **Nothing** → fresh bootstrap; continue.
- **Exists** → STOP. Enumerate issues/milestones/labels/docs/status updates → summarize → per-category yes/no **before any write**. Extend conservatively. Scan repo for unmirrored roadmap docs (§4.7).

### 2. North Star (§1b)

README-as-vision is usually enough — say the call out loud. Question 5 (why track?) picks the shape — see METHODOLOGY goal→shape table.

### 3–4. Type + structure (§2–§3)

Suggested types: Product / Tool / Drop / Marketing. Milestones 1:1 with real phases. Separate engineering / launch / rollout tracks. Dates only with a real signal. Prefer §17 if shape is unclear.

### 5. Backfill (§4)

How to install

Latest version
mdr add tjcages/skills/linear-setup@v1.0.2
Exact content
mdr add tjcages/skills/linear-setup@sha256:effcfdf8f066d6e0

Pin 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.
