How do I trigger the Linear skill in Claude?

You can invoke the skill directly by using the command /linear or by asking Claude to create an issue based on your current conversation or work.

How does the skill determine issue estimates?

The skill uses an Estimate Guide that calculates points (1-8) based on the number of files affected, technical complexity, and whether the task touches the critical path.

Can I review the ticket before it is posted to Linear?

Yes, the skill includes a Proposal Wizard that displays the title, metadata, and a description preview, requiring your explicit approval before creation.

Does it support specific Linear cycles and labels?
