Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Linear Issue Management Before using Linear workflows, search for `linear` MCP tools. If not found, treat as not installed. ## PR Creation with Linear Issues A PR that fixes a Linear issue has **two separate jobs to do**, and both matter: 1. **`Fixes LOBE-xxx` in the PR body** — Linear watches GitHub for these magic keywords and auto-links the PR and auto-closes the issue on merge. This is the machine-readable side. 2. **A completion comment on the Linear issue** — gives the reviewer/PM/teammate landing in Linear a human-readable summary of what changed and why, without forcing them to click through to GitHub and read a diff. If you only do step 1, Linear watchers (often non-engineers) hit the issue and see no context. So pair PR creation with the Linear comment as part of the same task — finish both before considering the work done. ## Workflow 1. **Retrieve issue details** before starting: `mcp__linear-server__get_issue` 2. **Read images** — issue descriptions often contain screenshots with critical context (mockups, error states, before/after). Use `mcp__linear-server__extract_images` so you actually see them; reading raw markdown alone misses what the reporter was looking at.

- 2. Nest sub-issues by logical parent-child, not flat under the root
- 3. Sub-issue creation order is dictated by blockedBy
- 4. Don't waste rounds trying to parallelize
- 5. Keep each sub-issue description self-contained

What does the linear skill do?
Linear issue management. Use for LOBE-xxx issues, Linear links, PRs referencing Linear, retrieving issues, updating status, completion comments, or sub-issue trees.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add lobehub/lobehub --skill linear --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From lobehub/lobehub, a repository with 81,252 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
