Close Issue

Close Linear issue $ARGUMENTS with mechanical verification.

Steps

1. Run the harness gate script:

   bash scripts/close_issue.sh $0
   

   This runs 3 gates:

   • Gate 1: Tests passing? (npm test)
   • Gate 2: CI green? (gh run list)
   • Gate 3: Acceptance criteria all checked? (Linear API)

2. If ALL gates pass: The script automatically:

   • Posts evidence comment to the Linear issue
   • Moves issue to "Done"
   • Report: Issue $0 closed with evidence.

3. If ANY gate fails:

   • Report which gate failed and why
   • Do NOT close the issue
   • Suggest what the user needs to fix

Rules

• NEVER close an issue if a gate fails.
• NEVER use workarounds to bypass gates.
• NEVER close issues manually in Linear — always use this skill.
• The user must fix the root cause, then run /close-issue again.
