JantonioFC Project Flow Ops
This skill turns disconnected GitHub issues, PRs, and Linear tasks into one execution flow.
Use it when the problem is coordination, not coding.
When to Use
- Triage open PR or issue backlogs
- Decide what belongs in Linear vs what should remain GitHub-only
- Link active GitHub work to internal execution lanes
- Classify PRs into merge, port/rebuild, close, or park
- Audit whether review comments, CI failures, or stale issues are blocking execution
Operating Model
- GitHub is the public and community truth
- Linear is the internal execution truth for active scheduled work
- Not every GitHub issue needs a Linear issue
- Create or update Linear only when the work is:
- active
- delegated
- scheduled
- cross-functional
- important enough to track internally
Core Workflow
1. Read the public surface first
Gather:
- GitHub issue or PR state
- author and branch status
- review comments
- CI status
- linked issues
2. Classify the work
Every item should end up in one of these states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Merge | self-contained, policy-compliant, ready |
| Port/Rebuild | useful idea, but should be manually re-landed inside ECC |
| Close | wrong direction, stale, unsafe, or duplicated |
| Park | potentially useful, but not scheduled now |
3. Decide whether Linear is warranted
Create or update Linear only if:
- execution is actively planned
- multiple repos or workstreams are involved
- the work needs internal ownership or sequencing
- the issue is part of a larger program lane
Do not mirror everything mechanically.
4. Keep the two systems consistent
When work is active:
- GitHub issue/PR should say what is happening publicly
- Linear should track owner, priority, and execution lane internally
When work ships or is rejected:
- post the public resolution back to GitHub
- mark the Linear task accordingly
Review Rules
- Never merge from title, summary, or trust alone; use the full diff
- External-source features should be rebuilt inside ECC when they are valuable but not self-contained
- CI red means classify and fix or block; do not pretend it is merge-ready
- If the real blocker is product direction, say so instead of hiding behind tooling
Output Format
Return:
PUBLIC STATUS
- issue / PR state
- CI / review state
CLASSIFICATION
- merge / port-rebuild / close / park
- one-paragraph rationale
LINEAR ACTION
- create / update / no Linear item needed
- project / lane if applicable
NEXT OPERATOR ACTION
- exact next move
Good Use Cases
- "Audit the open PR backlog and tell me what to merge vs rebuild"
- "Map GitHub issues into our ECC 1.x and ECC 2.0 program lanes"
- "Check whether this needs a Linear issue or should stay GitHub-only"
