Synchronizes Linear issues with implementation progress based on real-time evidence from your code repository.
The Linear Issue Sync skill bridges the gap between manual project tracking and actual development reality. By analyzing your codebase status, it identifies implementation evidence—such as feature branches, merged pull requests, and CI status—and maps them to specific Linear tickets. The skill follows a safety-first approach with an 'upgrade-only' rule, ensuring that Linear statuses are only moved forward based on evidence and never downgraded automatically. It provides a detailed preview of all proposed changes, requiring explicit user confirmation before modifying any project data.
Key Features
01Automated matching of code components to Linear issues via titles or identifiers
02Safety-first 'Upgrade-Only' logic to prevent accidental progress loss
03Evidence-based status upgrades (Backlog to In Progress, In Review to Done)
04Support for both Linear MCP and direct GraphQL API fallback authentication
052 GitHub stars
06Detailed change previews including current status, proposed status, and evidence
Use Cases
01Updating project boards instantly after a series of commits or PR merges
02Ensuring project managers see the most accurate, evidence-backed status of development
03Identifying components in the codebase that are missing corresponding Linear issues
