kc-em-triage

EM Triage

Read Linear issues, explore the codebase, discuss with user, then post structured implementation guidance as Linear comments for human colleagues to execute.

REQUIRED: Use linear-expert skill for Linear operations (loaded by linear-manager agent).

Linear Customer Requests

Customer Need tracking in Linear — MCP tools (list_customers, save_customer, save_customer_need) and usage in triage/overview. See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/meeting-notes-flow.md for full concept and API details.

Project Creation (Step P)

When customer needs cluster around a theme with no existing project, propose creating one. Always GATE before creating — draft table with name/lead/target for user confirmation. See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/project-creation-flow.md for structured description format and full process.
