Guides software teams from product direction through scoped projects, clear issues, user feedback, and frequent launches. Use when setting goals, prioritizing work, shaping projects, writing issues, or planning execution and delivery.
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
# Shaping and Shipping Software Build software through clear direction, small scopes, explicit ownership, user feedback, and frequent shipping. The bundled Linear Method documents provide the source guidance for these practices. ## Workflow 1. Identify the user's decision or artifact: product direction, goal, project scope, issue, design plan, execution cadence, launch, or changelog. 2. Read only the relevant source documents listed below. 3. Apply the principles to the user's actual context rather than repeating the source verbatim. 4. Keep recommendations concrete, brief, and biased toward clear ownership, small scope, momentum, and frequent shipping. 5. Distinguish source guidance from any additional judgment or adaptation. ## Source Guide - For an overview and source index, read `reference/2026-01-31 @linear - 0.0 Linear Method – Practices for building -- source__clipper.md`. - For the current principles and operating practices from Linear's site, read `reference/2026-01-31 @linear - 1.1 Principles & Practices - Linear Method -- source__clipper.md`. - For principles and operating practices, read `reference/Principles & Practices - Linear Method.md`. …

How to install
mdr add bdsqqq/dots/shaping-and-shipping-software@sha256:44371ed1f8578587The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.d055431, 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.
