Issue Planner

Step 0: Verify the Linear MCP is available

Call list_teams as a connectivity check before doing anything else.

• If it succeeds, continue.
• If it fails, stop and tell the user: "The Linear MCP doesn't seem to be reachable. Check that the MCP server is configured and running, then try again."

Step 1: Read workspace state

Look for .linear.json at the workspace root. Extract teamId, teamName, projectId, projectName. You can reuse the result from Step 0.

If .linear.json is missing, tell the user to run the manage-linear-issue skill first to set up the workspace state, then stop.
