Linear Issue Registration Skill

Create a new Linear issue.

Configuration

Team Selection: Query available teams dynamically using mcp__plugin_linear_linear__list_teams, then select the appropriate team. If only one team exists, use it automatically.

Mandatory Labels (CRITICAL)

Every issue MUST have these labels:

1. Type Label (MANDATORY - Choose ONE)

Type Purpose Creates PR?
Feature New functionality Yes
Bug Fix broken behavior Yes
Chore Config, CI, maintenance Usually Yes
Thinking Design, research, memo No

This is the primary classification for MCP operations.

Simple rule:

  • Feature / Bug / Chore → Produces PR, needs worktree
  • Thinking → No PR, no worktree needed

2. Repository Label (MANDATORY - Choose ONE)

Every issue MUST have exactly one Repository label (exclusive). Query existing labels: mcp__plugin_linear_linear__list_issue_labels with team parameter. (チーム固有のRepositoryラベルを取得するため、teamパラメータは必須)

Prerequisites

  • Linear MCP tools are available (mcp__plugin_linear_linux__*)

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Type Label

Ask or determine from context:

Feature: New functionality being added Bug: Something is broken and needs fixing Chore: Config, CI, dotfiles, non-functional tasks Thinking: Research, design comparison, hypothesis, undecided

If unclear, ask: "Does this produce a PR?"

  • YES → Feature / Bug / Chore
  • NO / Undecided → Thinking

Step 2: Determine Team

Query teams: mcp__plugin_linear_linear__list_teams

  • If single team → use automatically
  • If multiple teams → ask user or infer from context

Step 3: Gather Information + Repository Label

IMPORTANT: Query Repository labels with team parameter: mcp__plugin_linear_linear__list_issue_labels with team: <selected_team>

CRITICAL: ラベル付与時は名前ではなくIDを使用すること。 list_issue_labelsの結果から該当ラベルのIDを取得し、create_issuelabelsパラメータにはIDを指定する。

For Feature / Bug / Chore:

  • Repository label (select from team's Repository label group)
  • What to change (files, behavior)
  • Done criteria (clear and measurable)

For Thinking:

  • Repository label (select from team's Repository label group)
  • Topic/question
  • Current state
  • Options/candidates
  • Decision criteria (if any)

Step 4: Create Issue

Use mcp__plugin_linear_linear__create_issue with:

  • team: Selected team name or ID
  • title: English (for branch name generation)
  • description: User's language (see templates below)
  • labels: [Type label ID, Repository label ID] ← 名前ではなくIDを使用

Description Templates

Feature / Bug / Chore Template

Repo: {repository-name}
Files:
- src/xxx.ts
- src/yyy.ts

Done Criteria:
- [ ] Specific condition is satisfied
- [ ] Existing behavior unchanged
- [ ] Tests pass

Keep it concise. NO thinking logs.

Thinking Template

## Current State
{What exists now}

## Options
- Option A: ...
- Option B: ...

## Decision Criteria
- Criterion 1
- Criterion 2

## Notes
{Free-form thinking, long text OK}

Thinking Issues:

  • Do NOT need to be Done
  • Can stay in Todo/Backlog indefinitely
  • Can contain long text

Step 5: Return Information

After creation, provide:

  • Issue identifier (e.g., DEV-123-feat-awesome-feature)
  • Issue URL
  • Applied labels (Type + Repository)
  • Auto-generated branch name (for Feature/Bug/Chore)

Thinking → Feature/Bug/Chore Flow

When a Thinking Issue leads to implementation:

  1. Keep the Thinking Issue open (or close, your choice)
  2. Create a new Feature/Bug/Chore Issue
  3. Link from the Thinking Issue
  4. Complete the new Issue

Never mix thinking logs into Feature/Bug/Chore Issues.

Error Handling

Scenario Action
Type unclear Ask "Does this produce a PR?"
Repository Label not found Query labels, create if needed
Missing title Prompt user using AskUserQuestion

Important Notes

  • Linear is for "action management", GitHub is for "change history"
  • Do NOT use GitHub Issues - Linear is the single source of truth
  • Status is auto-managed via GitHub or other service integrations
  • Branch names are auto-generated - never create locally
  • Issue title MUST be in English for clean branch names
