Linear Review — Project Check
Skill to review the state of Linear projects: issues in review, blockers, stale items, sprint progress, and assigned tasks.
Always respond in English.
Workflow
Execute the steps below silently and present a consolidated report at the end.
Step 1 — Gather context
Use the Linear MCP tools to collect data:
-
Issues in Review — list issues with state "In Review" or "Review":
list_issues(state="In Review")
-
User's issues — list issues assigned to the user:
list_issues(assignee="me")
-
Blockers — list issues with Urgent (1) or High (2) priority:
list_issues(priority=1)
list_issues(priority=2)
-
Stale issues — list "In Progress" issues not updated in the last 3 days:
list_issues(state="In Progress", updatedAt="-P3D")
Compare: if the issue is "In Progress" but hasn't been updated in more than 3 days, mark as stale.
-
Current cycle — check active sprint/cycle progress:
list_cycles(teamId="...", type="current")
Step 2 — Analyze
For each group, identify:
- In Review: who needs to review, how long it has been pending
- Blockers: what is blocking and who is responsible
- Stale: issues stagnant without activity — need attention or re-prioritization
- My issues: what the user needs to do first (by priority)
Step 3 — Report
Present in the format:
## Linear Review — {data}
### In Review ({N})
| Issue | Title | Assignee | Days in review |
|-------|--------|-------------|----------------|
### Blockers ({N})
| Issue | Title | Priority | Assignee | Block description |
|-------|--------|------------|-------------|----------------------|
### Stale — Inactive >3 days ({N})
| Issue | Title | Assignee | Last updated |
|-------|--------|-------------|-------------------|
### My Issues ({N})
| Issue | Title | Status | Priority |
|-------|--------|--------|------------|
### Current Sprint/Cycle
- Progress: {X}% ({completed}/{total})
- Deadline: {end date}
- Risk: {high/medium/low}
Step 4 — Save HTML artifact
Read the template at .claude/templates/html/custom/linear-review.html, fill all {{PLACEHOLDER}} with the data collected in previous steps, and save the complete HTML to workspace/projects/linear-reviews/[C] YYYY-MM-DD-linear-review.html.
Create the directory workspace/projects/linear-reviews/ if it does not exist.
Rules
- Do not modify issues — only read and report. Changes only with user approval
- Prioritize clarity — if unable to determine the team or cycle, list what you find without blocking
- Highlight risks — issues in review for more than 2 days or stale are warning signs
- Be direct — numbers, not narrative
