Ki Work Linear

Defines the configuration and safety guidance for Linear as a Knowledge Islands change-management adapter: mutable team-scoped locators, workflow metadata, review, closure, archive/delete semantics, and remote-write authority. Use when a repository configures Linear as its tracker or needs guidance for a future authorised remote operation. Remote process execution fails closed pending KI-HARNESS-FND-014. For local files use ki-work-roadmap; for GitHub use ki-work-github-issues.

KI Linear change management

This skill configures and explains one Linear team's Issues as a future forward-work adapter. It does not mirror Issues to a local tracker, resolve remote work for a process, or make remote writes. Until KI-HARNESS-FND-014 delivers selected-adapter resolution and authorised remote execution, a shared process selecting this adapter stops rather than guessing a local path or Linear operation.

ENG-123 is a current team-scoped locator, not durable cross-team identity. A team move creates a new identifier and URL; retain the old locator as historical alias evidence and re-resolve the current locator, team, workflow mapping, and affected fields before any future operation. No UUID persistence claim is made without official evidence.

Read the Linear adapter standard before configuring or operating the adapter. Read the generated rubric for its checkable configuration contract.

Operating modes

Carries the universal AUDIT · CONFORM · EDUCATE · REFRESH modes. help / -h / ? describes the adapter and stops.

Mode AUDIT

Run ki repo audit --skill ki-work-linear --repo <repo>. It verifies the declared team locator, required lifecycle mapping, and rejects undeclared keys. It cannot confirm remote team identity, current issue locator, workflow configuration, permissions, or field preservation after a move; AUDIT never calls Linear.

Mode CONFORM

Run ki repo conform --skill ki-work-linear --repo <repo> --dry-run. It has no remote operation and proposes no remote mutation. It never creates, edits, moves, closes, archives, or deletes a Linear Issue.

Mode EDUCATE

Explain the configuration, workflow mapping, mutable-locator migration stop, archive/delete semantics, and no-remote-execution boundary. Do not route a shared process through Linear until KI-HARNESS-FND-014 supplies the authorised resolver and executor.

Mode REFRESH

Precondition: REFRESH writes only this canonical skill in ki-agentic-harness. From an installed copy, stop and redirect to the Harness. Re-fetch every primary source in the source record when Linear changes team locators, move, workflow, archive/delete, permissions, or API semantics, or when the common lifecycle gains a state that cannot be mapped without ambiguity.
