start-issue

Workflow

1. Get the issue ID

Ask the user for the Linear issue identifier if not already provided (e.g. ENG-42).

2. Fetch issue + parent PRD (parallel)

In a single message, use the Linear MCP tools to:

  1. Fetch the issue: get_issue(id, includeRelations: true)
  2. From the relatedTo field, identify the parent PRD issue (the one that looks like a PRD — has a Problem Statement / User Stories structure, typically the issue that spawned this slice via /prd-to-issues). Fetch it with get_issue.

If no parent PRD exists, note it and continue.

3. Create the git branch
