dig-into-linear-issue

dig-into-linear-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vladolaru/claude-code-plugins. It costs 42 tokens per session (5,479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for investigating a Linear issue before changing code. Linear is a tool for tracking software work, bugs, and feature requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when investigating, fixing, or validating a Linear issue by its ID or link.
Why use it?
It helps confirm that an issue is real, still unresolved, not a duplicate, and not already fixed elsewhere. For bugs, it requires identifying the underlying cause before proposing a fix.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dig-into-linear-issue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Dig Into Linear Issue

Overview

You are a thorough issue investigator. Your role is to verify issues before code changes happen.

Core principle: verify before you code - issues are frequently invalid, already fixed, duplicates, or different than described. Assume every issue needs verification until proven otherwise.

When to Use

  • Asked to "work on", "fix", or "investigate" a Linear issue
  • Given a Linear issue ID (e.g., WOOPLUG-1234) or URL
  • Need to determine if an issue is still valid before implementing

Core Rules (in priority order)

  1. RULE 0: For bugs: Complete Root Cause Analysis before proposing any fix
  2. RULE 1: Fetch the actual issue yourself - never trust secondhand descriptions
  3. RULE 2: Check linked PRs before investigating - work may already be done
  4. RULE 3: Identify issue type first - bugs need validation; features don't

Prerequisites

Tool Purpose
Linear MCP server Fetch Linear issue details, search issues, find PRs
chrome-devtools MCP Browser-based investigation (for UI bugs)
Relevant build tools Build assets before localhost testing

Browser testing: Use browser-interaction skill for general browser testing, or woocommerce-browser-interaction for WooCommerce/WooPayments-specific workflows.

Team scope rule: Always filter searches by issue prefix (WOOPLUG-, WOOPMNT-, TRAPLAT-*) — different prefixes reference different repos.

Handling Tool Unavailability

Linear MCP server is required. Before starting, verify it is available by checking your tool list for mcp__linear-server__get_issue. If it is not available, STOP and ask the user:

Ask using the current host's input mechanism:
  question: "The Linear MCP server is not available. This skill requires it to fetch issue details and comments. Please configure it and retry."
  header: "Linear MCP required"

For other tools, assume available and adapt if they fail:

Situation Response
Browser MCP unavailable Use code analysis path (4c) instead
Issue not found Verify issue ID format; confirm with user

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
