| name | update-linear-issue |
| description | Use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes /update-linear-issue to change fields on an existing Linear issue (title, description, state, assignee, priority). This is a write skill with irreversible side effects — it must never be auto-invoked from conversational context. It shows a payload preview, requires explicit confirmation, then applies the update.

Update Linear Issue
!${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/accelerator config context --skill update-linear-issue --fail-safe
Configuration: Set work.integration: linear in .accelerator/config.md.
Update an existing Linear issue via issueUpdate. Work through the steps in
order. This skill never auto-invokes — it only runs when the user explicitly
types /update-linear-issue. Body/description content comes only from the
user's current turn, never synthesised from prior context.
Step 1: Parse arguments
Read the issue identifier (positional) and the mutating flags: --title,
--description, --state (a WorkflowState name resolved to its UUID via the
catalogue), --assignee-id, --priority. At least one is required.
Step 2: Generate the payload preview
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/integrations/linear/scripts/linear-update-flow.sh \
<IDENTIFIER> [flags] --print-payload
If the helper exits non-zero (e.g. unknown state — E_UPDATE_BAD_STATE, or no
mutating flags — E_UPDATE_NO_OPS), STOP and report the error; make no API
call.
Step 3: Render the preview
Show the operation (issueUpdate), the target id, and the assembled input
under:
Proposed Linear write — review before sending
Step 4: Confirm before writing
Ask:
Apply this update to Linear? Reply y to confirm, n to revise, anything
else to abort.
On a clear yes, proceed. On no/revise, rebuild the preview. On anything
ambiguous, abort with "Aborted — no Linear write was made."
Step 5: Send and render
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/integrations/linear/scripts/linear-update-flow.sh \
<IDENTIFIER> [flags]
Confirm the updated fields. Suggest /show-linear-issue <IDENTIFIER> to verify.
