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.
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 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
mdr add tjcages/skills/linear-setup@sha256:effcfdf8f066d6e0The 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.
