Linear Task Completion
After finishing work on a Linear task, execute this workflow.
Steps
1. Fetch the issue
Use the MCP Linear tool via CallMcpTool after reading its schema in
/Users/callumflack/.cursor/projects/Users-callumflack-Repos-vana-vana-app/mcps/user-Linear/tools/.
Extract gitBranchName and the issue ID from the response.
2. Create branch
git checkout -b <gitBranchName>
If gitBranchName is missing, follow .cursor/rules/linear-task-creation.mdc
to create and checkout a branch name that includes the issue ID.
3. Identify session-specific changes (not everything in git status)
Important: Track which files were actually modified during this session.
- Review the edits made (search_replace, write tool calls)
- Verify with
git status to see unstaged changes
- List the specific files, not just "everything"
4. Stage and prepare commit
git add <specific-files-from-step-3>
Commit message format:
ISSUE_ID: <commit message>
Do NOT commit unless explicitly asked.
If the user asks for a commit message only, provide the message and stop.
