Does this skill require a Linear account?

No, it supports both Linear Mode for API integration and File Mode for local markdown-based task management in your repository.

Can I customize the task templates?

Yes, the skill copies shared templates to your project's local 'docs/templates' directory, allowing for project-specific customization.

What are the hard rules for different task types?

Implementation tasks cannot create new tests; refactoring tasks require a regression strategy; and test tasks must follow a risk-based priority matrix.

How does the DRY check work?

The skill scans your codebase using keywords from the task description and flags similar functionality with a warning to prevent code duplication.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the creation of implementation, refactoring, and testing tasks with built-in DRY checks and Linear integration.

This skill acts as a specialized worker that generates detailed task documentation and synchronizes it with Linear or local kanban boards. It enforces domain-specific rules—such as preventing test creation during implementation phases or requiring regression strategies for refactoring—while performing automated codebase scans to prevent duplicate work. By utilizing project-specific templates and maintaining a foundation-first execution order, it ensures high-quality, standardized task breakdowns across the entire development lifecycle.
