Finish Linear tracking install

Chat: RESPONSE.md. Auth: AUTH.md. Snippet: ALWAYS_ON.md. Optional weekly health: AUTOMATION.md.

Install is complete when always-on is loaded and Linear MCP auth works. Same skills + same SoT assumption on every harness. Cursor Automation is optional.

Do these in order. Lead with the next action each turn.

1. Always-on (required)

Cursor: list user rules. If no rule titled linear-tracking (always-on), add one with cursor_dialog (item=rule, scope=user, action=add, title + ALWAYS_ON.md body). If it exists, skip.

Claude Code / Codex / file-based: ensure ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, and/or ~/.agents/AGENTS.md contain the ALWAYS_ON block between markers:

<!-- linear-tracking-always-on -->
…ALWAYS_ON.md body…
<!-- /linear-tracking-always-on -->

Idempotent: replace the block if markers exist; else append.

2. Linear MCP (required)

Call list_teams (or get_user).

Fail → AUTH.md steps for this agent; stop after giving links.
Pass → continue.

Cursor MCP: Cursor Settings → MCP
Linear MCP docs: Linear MCP
Claude connectors: claude.ai settings or /mcp in Claude Code

3. Monitor Automation (optional — Cursor only)

If this is Cursor and the user wants a weekly digest: open Automations (open_automation) and point at AUTOMATION.md. Default schedule Monday 7:00 AM local (convert cron to UTC — see AUTOMATION.md).

Non-Cursor: skip. They can run /linear-monitor anytime.

Do not block “install complete” on Automation.

4. Report

Restate:

Always-on: done / already present / failed (where)
Linear auth: ok / needs OAuth
Install: complete if 1+2 ok — Automation offered / skipped / deferred

One next action only.
