Can this skill tell me what to do next on a ticket?

Yes, by analyzing the files within a task directory (like eng-1234), it can identify which stage of the RPI process you are in and suggest the next skill to use.

What is the RPI workflow?

RPI stands for Research-Plan-Implement. It is a structured software development methodology that ensures a developer thoroughly researches and plans a solution before writing any code.

How does this skill interact with Linear?

It uses the Linear CLI to fetch ticket details, branch information, and issue descriptions, then organizes that data into a local 'thoughts' directory for the RPI process.

What happens if my HumanLayer environment isn't set up?

The skill includes a critical validation sequence that checks for CLI installations, initializes configuration, and verifies repository syncing before allowing you to proceed.

Which external tools do I need for this skill?

You need the HumanLayer CLI (`brew install humanlayer/tap/humanlayer`) and the Linear CLI (`npm install -g @codelayer/linear-cli`) installed and configured.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Automates the Research-Plan-Implement (RPI) workflow by integrating Linear tickets with HumanLayer's task management system.

Acerca de

This skill streamlines the development lifecycle by setting up a structured Research-Plan-Implement (RPI) workflow within Claude. It performs automated environment validation for HumanLayer and Linear CLIs, initializes task-specific directories in your 'thoughts' repository, and fetches issue data directly from Linear. By enforcing a rigorous process of research and planning before implementation, it helps developers maintain high-quality documentation and clear execution paths for complex engineering tickets.
