Issue Context

This skill retrieves the current Linear issue's details to provide context about the work being done.

When to Use

When you need to understand the requirements for the current task
When the user asks about "the issue", "the ticket", or "the plan"
When you need acceptance criteria or specifications
When starting work and need to understand the scope
When the user asks "what am I working on?" or "what's the context?"

How to Get the Issue ID

Option 1: From the current branch name

Get the current branch:

git branch --show-current

Linear branch names typically follow the format:

username/abc-123-description
abc-123-description

Extract the issue identifier (e.g., ABC-123) using a pattern like letters-numbers.

Option 2: From conversation context

If an issue ID was mentioned in the conversation, use that.

No Linear Issue Found

If the branch name doesn't match the Linear ABC-123 pattern and no issue ID was mentioned in conversation, inform the user:

No Linear issue linked to this branch. This branch doesn't appear to be associated with a Linear issue. Issue context is only available for Linear-linked branches.

Do not proceed with fetching.

Fetching Issue Details

Use the get_issue tool with the issue ID:

get_issue(id: "ABC-123")

This returns:

Title: The issue title
Description: Full description with requirements, acceptance criteria, technical details
State: Current status (Todo, In Progress, etc.)
Priority: Issue priority
Labels: Applied labels
Assignee: Who's assigned
Project: Parent project
Branch name: Git branch name

Providing Context

After fetching, summarize the relevant parts based on what the user needs:

For understanding scope: Focus on title and description
For implementation: Focus on description, acceptance criteria, technical details
For status check: Focus on state, priority, assignee

Example Output

Issue: ABC-123 - Implement user authentication
