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:

1. Issues in Review — list issues with state "In Review" or "Review":

   list_issues(state="In Review")
   

2. User's issues — list issues assigned to the user:

   list_issues(assignee="me")
   

3. Blockers — list issues with Urgent (1) or High (2) priority:

   list_issues(priority=1)
   list_issues(priority=2)
   

4. 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.

5. 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
