# Linear Project Management Skill

When this skill is activated, you MUST follow these steps:

1. **Load Linear Conventions**: Use the Read tool to read `.claude/rules/linear/README.md` from the user's project directory.

2. **Follow Loaded Rules**: The README.md file contains all necessary guidance for Linear project management tasks. Follow the instructions and conventions defined there.

## 🚨 MANDATORY CHECKPOINT - Linear Project Creation

**BEFORE creating any Linear project**, you MUST follow this workflow:

1. **Draft the project description** following all conventions (branch, purpose, scope, etc.)
2. **STOP** - Do not create the project yet
3. **Invoke the reviewer** using the Task tool:
   ```
   subagent_type: "project-roles:linear-project-description-reviewer"
   prompt: "Review this Linear project description: [paste description]"
   ```
4. **Address all feedback** from the reviewer
5. **ONLY THEN** create the project using `mcp__linear-server__create_project`

❌ WRONG: Draft description → Immediately create project
✅ RIGHT: Draft description → Get reviewed → Address feedback → Create project

**You do NOT have discretion to skip review.** This ensures every project provides comprehensive context for agents working on its issues.
