From bette-think
Categorizes backlog issues from Linear/GitHub or manual lists into Leverage/Neutral/Overhead, analyzes time allocation, and suggests optimizations or labels.

**Most PMs waste time on overhead disguised as strategy.**
Provides best practices for Linear issues: writing guidelines/templates, label taxonomy, priorities/estimation, sprint planning, and project organization.
Manages issues, projects, and team workflows in Linear via MCP tools like list_issues, create_issue, update_issue. Useful for reading, creating, or updating tickets.
Generates prioritized weekly development plans from retro backlog, open GitHub issues, and calendar; applies Eisenhower matrix for founder-agent delegation; defines measurable outcomes; creates issues in correct repos.
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.
Most PMs waste time on overhead disguised as strategy.
This skill categorizes your backlog by actual impact:
Then tells you if your time allocation is broken.

LNO PRIORITIZATION

Are you spending 60%+ time on Leverage work?
Most PMs aren't.
What do you want to analyze?
1. Current sprint/cycle
→ I'll fetch and categorize all active issues
2. Specific team or project
→ Focus on a subset of your backlog
3. Paste issue list
→ I'll categorize what you provide
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Categorizes every issue, then challenges your priorities:
/lno-prioritize
Optional parameters:
/lno-prioritize --team [team-name] - Categorize specific team's issues/lno-prioritize --project [project-name] - Categorize specific project/lno-prioritize --label - Auto-add Linear labels (leverage/neutral/overhead)/lno-prioritize --current-sprint - Only analyze current sprint issues--label flag used and using Linear)📊 LNO Prioritization Results
🚀 LEVERAGE (10x impact - be a perfectionist):
- [ENG-245] Rebuild recommendation engine
Reason: Core product differentiator, compounds over time
- [ENG-198] Product strategy for Q2
Reason: Foundational decision affecting all downstream work
📈 NEUTRAL (Regular impact - do good enough work):
- [ENG-301] Update onboarding flow copy
Reason: Important but not transformational
- [ENG-276] Add analytics to checkout page
Reason: Useful data but incremental improvement
⚙️ OVERHEAD (Minimal impact - do quickly):
- [ENG-312] Reformat PRD template
Reason: Administrative work, no strategic value
- [ENG-288] Update Linear labels
Reason: Organizational cleanup

📊 YOUR TIME ALLOCATION IS BROKEN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Current backlog:
- 2 Leverage tasks (20%)
- 4 Neutral tasks (40%)
- 4 Overhead tasks (40%)
TARGET allocation:
- 60% Leverage (you're at 20% - way too low)
- 30% Neutral
- 10% Overhead (you're at 40% - way too high)
WHAT TO DO:
1. **Kill or delegate 3 of 4 Overhead tasks**
- Reformatting templates? Not your job.
- Linear labels? Automate it.
2. **Stop perfectionism on Neutral work**
- Onboarding copy doesn't need to be perfect
- Ship at B- quality and move on
3. **Focus on Leverage:**
- Recommendation engine = your #1 priority
- Q2 strategy = your #2 priority
- Everything else can wait
Want me to create Linear issues to delegate/automate the Overhead work?
With Linear MCP: Automatically fetches Linear issues and can add L/N/O labels.
With GitHub MCP: Automatically fetches GitHub issues and can add labels.
Manual mode: Paste your issues and the skill will categorize them:
Apply the LNO framework to these issues: [paste issue list]
