Linear Close
Use this after implementation review when a PR has been merged, a direct issue-ID commit is present, or squash/import release evidence proves the expected files and content are present on current main and release/main CI passed. If the current Linear issue ID and the implemented issue ID recorded in the ticket evidence have different team prefixes because the issue was moved to another team, manually verify the old implemented ID according to the same closeout rules, then close the current issue with a note naming both IDs.
Read and follow:

Do not implement code, merge PRs, or alter review policy. This skill only finalizes work after merged PR evidence, issue-ID commit evidence, or squash/import release evidence exists.
The issue may already be in Done when this skill runs, because the implementer's closing magic word (Fixes HCL-123) makes Linear auto-move it on merge. Treat an already-Done issue as expected: still verify the evidence, update the dashboard, post the closeout comment, and strip llm-* and in-use. Moving status to Done is then a no-op. Do not reopen the issue or treat already-Done as an error or as a reason to skip the closeout finalization.
