The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Read references/connector-contract.md before any Linear connector call.

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    Read references/task-lifecycle.md only for issue, dependency, claim, milestone, status, or task execution operations.

    line 15
  3. Very specific:

    Read references/document-persistence.md only when reading or writing Linear Documents, retrospectives, learning indexes, or learning …

    line 17
  4. Distinctive:

    Use compact projected reads first.

    line 23
  5. Distinctive:

    Read all blocker states, but expand only unfinished or contract-relevant blockers within the active depth and node limits.

    line 24
  6. Distinctive:

    Never mutate during a read-only request.

    line 26
  7. Distinctive:

    Keep volatile plans and completion receipts out of stable issue descriptions.

    line 30
  8. Distinctive:

    Do not infer completion, persistence, dependency, or milestone membership from titles or prior conversation state.

    line 31

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Linear Workflow

Linear is durable coordination memory for agents and humans. Keep descriptions stable, keep one authoritative current plan, and persist compact completion evidence. The active command's project scope, approval, context budget, and session boundary remain authoritative.

Load only the required operation rules

  • Read references/connector-contract.md before any Linear connector call.
  • Read references/task-lifecycle.md only for issue, dependency, claim, milestone, status, or task execution operations.
  • Read references/document-persistence.md only when reading or writing Linear Documents, retrospectives, learning indexes, or learning entries.

Invariants

  • Resolve the project before milestones, issues, or documents; stop on ambiguity.
  • Use compact projected reads first. Expand full text only when it can affect the command result.
  • Read all blocker states, but expand only unfinished or contract-relevant blockers within the active depth and node limits.
  • Never mutate during a read-only request. For writes, re-read, apply only intended fields, and read back before reporting success.
  • Preserve human-authored issue intent and enforce Human draft -> Unplanned -> Backlog; never skip refinement or planning readiness gates.
  • Keep volatile plans and completion receipts out of stable issue descriptions.
  • Do not infer completion, persistence, dependency, or milestone membership from titles or prior conversation state.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
