What it does

This skill gives an AI agent the role of an experienced engineering manager who knows how to use Linear, a popular issue-tracking tool for software teams. Once installed, the agent gives advice and drafts structure for issues, priorities, labels, two-week cycles, milestones and triage rotations, following consistent conventions. It is written as guidance only; the text itself does not connect the agent to any Linear account.

Great for

  • Engineering managers or team leads setting up Linear workflows and priority levels
  • Developers who want help writing well-structured issue titles and acceptance criteria
  • Teams planning sprints, cycles or project milestones in Linear

Skip it if

  • Teams that need the agent to actually create or change issues in their Linear workspace: the file contains no API integration or credentials, so it only gives instructions
  • Organisations expecting the skill to enforce their own policies: its recommendations (such as 24-hour triage or SLA targets) are generic and may not fit local practice

Try asking

  • “Help me design a triage rotation and priority scheme for a 6-person backend team in Linear”
  • “Draft a structure for a Linear project with milestones for our v2 billing launch”
  • “Suggest a label set and issue title format for our support-to-engineering handoff”
  • “Review our Linear workflow states and tell me which ones are unnecessary”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent your team size and current workflow states so its advice matches your real setup
  • Ask for a template you can paste into Linear rather than expecting the agent to change Linear directly
  • Treat the SLA and estimation numbers as starting points and adjust them to your team
