What prerequisites are needed for the Linear Issue Starter skill?

This skill requires the Linear MCP server to be configured. If it's unavailable, the skill can still perform local Git-only operations but won't update issue statuses.

Does it automatically close issues when I'm done?

No, this skill is specifically designed for the 'start' phase of development. Merging and closing issues are typically handled during the PR and review process.

Can I use this skill without updating my Linear status?

Yes, you can use the --no-status flag to perform the local setup (branch/worktree creation) without changing the state of the issue in Linear.

How does the skill handle blocked issues?

The skill performs a pre-work check. If it detects an issue is blocked by another task, it warns you and offers to start the blocking task instead.

Why does the skill use Git worktrees instead of branches?

Worktrees provide better isolation, allowing you to work on multiple issues simultaneously without worrying about uncommitted changes bleeding into different branches.

コラボレーションツール

Streamlines starting development on Linear issues by automating status updates, Git worktree creation, and context gathering.

The Linear Issue Starter skill optimizes the developer workflow by bridging the gap between project management and local development. When a user begins work on a task, the skill automatically fetches issue details via the Linear MCP, checks for blockers, updates the issue status to 'In Progress,' and sets up an isolated Git worktree. This ensures developers have immediate access to acceptance criteria and a clean environment for every feature, reducing manual setup time and context switching.
