start-linear-ticket

start-linear-ticket is an Issues & backlog tracking skill for AI agents, published by lifinance in the contracts repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates start-linear-ticket D (68/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Start work on a Linear ticket — fetches the issue, creates a properly-named local git branch in the right repo, moves the ticket to "In Progress", and assigns it to the current user. Use when the user says "start ticket", "start linear ticket", "begin work on EXSC-XXX", "/start-ticket", "let's start <ID>", or supplies a Linear issue ID/URL with intent to begin work. Mirrors the "Create branch" button from Jira, but also handles the status flip and ownership claim in one step — designed for orgs where PR-auto-assign is off but starting work is the right moment to claim a ticket. Requires the Linear MCP server. Skip if the user is just asking about a ticket (read intent) rather than starting work, or if the ticket is already In Progress and has a linked branch — in that case just show the existing branch.
