Linear Issue Analysis

Start work on Linear issue $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

This skill depends on external tools. Before proceeding, verify availability:

Required:

Linear MCP (mcp__linear): Must be connected. Without it the skill cannot function at all.

GitHub CLI (gh): Must be installed and authenticated. Run gh auth status to verify. Used to fetch linked PRs and issues.

Optional (graceful degradation):

Notion MCP (mcp__notion): Needed only if the issue links to Notion docs. If unavailable, note the Notion links in the summary and tell the user to check them manually.

Loom transcript skill (/loom-transcript): Needed only if the issue contains Loom videos. If unavailable, note the Loom links in the summary for the user to watch.

curl: Used to download images. Almost always available; if missing, skip image downloads and note it.

If a required tool is missing, stop and tell the user what needs to be set up before continuing.
