Linear Workflow Router

Use this skill before creating, reading, or relying on Linear issues, PR workflows, or Linear-shaped local slice/task artifacts.

Core rule

First classify the work mode. Then choose the tracking surface.

Do not turn every task into Linear. Do not turn real Linear intent into local docs.

Mode decision

Choose exactly one:

• real_linear_issue_pr_mode: the repo uses real Linear issues, real PRs, releases, user feedback, or operator-visible ticketing.
• linear_shaped_slice_task_mode: the repo is being developed locally and needs slice/task discipline without real external Linear objects.
• hybrid_linear_plus_slice_mode: a real Linear issue or PR exists, but execution needs local slice/task decomposition underneath it.
• no_tracking_needed: the task is too small or already bounded enough that tracking adds overhead.
