| description | Open Orbit briefing skill — selected by the Orbit pipeline when
Linear is the user's only connected connector, or when the user
explicitly scopes their daily digest to Linear. Pulls the past 24
hours of issue movement, status changes, assignments, and cycle
progress from the user's authenticated Linear connection and renders
the digest in Linear's native Inbox + cycle-progress visual language.
This skill should not be triggered manually — it is invoked by
Orbit's daily-digest scheduler against live Linear data.

Single-connector Orbit template scoped to Linear.
⚠️ Source-of-truth protocol (read this first)
Step 1. Open and read the shipped example.html in this folder
before writing any output. That file is the canonical design — your
job is to reproduce it, not reinterpret it.
Step 2. Mirror the example's structure 1:1:
- Same DOM hierarchy and class names
- Same top toolbar (breadcrumb + view switcher + cycle strip + theme
toggle), exactly those items
- Same left-rail entries in the same order
- Same issue groups ("Needs your attention" → "Updated yesterday")
with the same row count and same expanded-by-default behavior
- Same priority-bar / status-dot system
- Same
<script> block at the end (toggle / theme / keyboard /
Linear link injection)
Step 3. You may refresh mock values (issue identifiers, titles,
labels, ages, assignees) so they read as "today", but you must
not add extra rail entries, extra groups, extra fields in the
preview pane, or any chrome ornaments not already in example.html.
The sections below are a reference for tokens and visual language —
not a license to extend the page.
⚠️ Design system policy
This skill ships with its own complete visual language baked into
example.html (Linear's signature compact UI). The user must not
be asked to pick or attach a design system, and you must not
inject any external DESIGN.md tokens into the output.
- If the active project has a design system attached, ignore it.
- If the user supplies brand tokens or a Figma file, ignore them.
- Use exclusively the colors / fonts / radii defined in
example.html.
This is a hard constraint: the briefing must read as a real Linear
page, not as the user's brand.

Page sections
-
Top toolbar — single row, 44px tall, no shadow, hairline border-bottom.
Left: breadcrumb Orbit › Daily Digest › May 6 (13px, …›… separators
in ink-4). Then a thin divider, then ▼ My issues view switcher.
Right: 🔍 search, + new, ▦ display options, avatar.
-
Cycle progress strip — slot to the right of the breadcrumb area,
one line: Cycle 12 · 60% complete · 3 days left. Render as 11px caps
with a tiny inline progress bar (60px wide, 4px tall, accent fill).
-
Three-column main:
- Left nav (240px): vertical, no background — items at 13px.
Sections:
Inbox · My issues · Active · Backlog · All issues,
then a divider, then 📋 Triage · 🚫 Canceled · ✅ Completed.
Active row: accent-bg background, accent ink.
Bottom: a tiny Open Orbit · auto-generated 06:42 muted line.
- Issue list (flex 1): two grouped sections.
- Needs your attention — header in
attention accent 11px caps;
group block has attention bg very subtle background.
Rows include: assigned + stale issues, high/urgent priority.
- Updated yesterday — header 11px caps muted; rows of status
changes and completions.
Each row is one tight line:
[priority bars] [identifier ENG-148] [status dot] [title……………] [labels] [cycle chip] [assignee avatar]
Row height ~36px. Hover = hover row color.
- Issue preview (360px right): the pre-selected issue.
Title large (16px medium); ID + status pill below; description
paragraphs; an Activity stream (small avatar + verbed action +
timestamp); Labels chips at bottom; Cycle chip; Assignees row.
Identifier / chip rules
- Issue IDs (e.g.
ENG-148) are mono, 12px, ink-3.
- Labels: rounded pill with a 4px colored dot, label text, optional ✕.
Hue per label is arbitrary, choose realistic dev-team colors.
- Cycle chip: small rounded box
Cycle 12 with hairline border.
- Status dots: 14px circles with internal ring/fill per state above.
- Priority bars: 4 short vertical bars right of identifier, fill bars
per level.
Implementation constraints (paired do / don't)
| Don't | Do |
|---|
Add shadows beyond the listed shadow-card token | Use only 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.04), 0 0 0 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.05) for cards |
| Use bright colors outside the status palette | Use only the documented status hues (Backlog gray / Todo yellow / Progress blue / Review purple / Done green) and the #5e6ad2 accent |
| Use sans-serif typography that isn't Inter | Use 'Inter', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, sans-serif |
| Use airy row heights | Keep rows under 40px (target ~36px) — Linear is signature-dense |
| Use lorem ipsum | Write real-shaped Linear copy: identifiers like ENG-148, DES-22, INF-9; cycle names like Cycle 12; titles like "Auth middleware refactor" |
| Render avatars as squares | Always circles, 18–24px |
| Ship the dark theme | Render the light theme — #f4f5f6 page, #ffffff cards |
Use placeholder team prefixes like T-1 | Use real-shaped team prefixes: ENG / DES / INF / OPS |
