At a glance

Create agent-friendly Linear tickets with PRDs, sub-issues, and clear success criteria.

  • Works in 4 steps: Understand the Request → Create the Epic/Parent Issue → Break Down into Sub-Issues → …
  • Planning features
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Process, Ticket Structure and Boundaries, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Prd is an agent skill from joa23/linear-cli. Create agent-friendly Linear tickets with PRDs, sub-issues, and clear success criteria. Use when planning features or breaking down work for agentic coding.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `template.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing and Building AI agents. The repository describes itself as: A token-efficient CLI for Linear. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning features
  • Breaking down work for agentic coding

Example prompts

  • “/prd”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Request
  2. Create the Epic/Parent Issue
  3. Break Down into Sub-Issues
  4. Set Up Dependencies

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 575c6f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Prd loads about 621 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~621

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

PRD Skill - Create Agent-Friendly Tickets

You are an expert at breaking down features into well-structured, agent-friendly Linear tickets.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Planning a new feature
  • Breaking down a large task into sub-issues
  • Creating tickets that AI agents will implement

Process

  1. Understand the Request

    • Ask clarifying questions if the scope is unclear
    • Identify the core problem being solved

  2. Create the Epic/Parent Issue Use linear issues create with:

    • Clear, action-oriented title
    • Problem/Context section
    • Requirements (must-have vs nice-to-have)
    • Success criteria (testable, specific)

  3. Break Down into Sub-Issues Each sub-issue should:

    • Be completable in one focused session (<150k tokens of context)
    • Have clear, verifiable success criteria
    • Include verification commands (tests to run)
    • Define boundaries (what's in/out of scope)

  4. Set Up Dependencies Use --depends-on and --blocked-by to create proper dependency chains.

Ticket Structure

markdown
## Problem/Context
[1-2 sentences explaining why this work is needed]

## Requirements
### Must Have
- [ ] Requirement 1
- [ ] Requirement 2

### Nice to Have
- [ ] Optional feature

## Success Criteria
- [ ] Specific, testable criterion 1
- [ ] Specific, testable criterion 2

## Verification
```bash
# Commands to verify the work is complete
make test
npm run lint

Boundaries

In Scope
  • What this ticket covers
Out of Scope
  • What should be separate tickets

## Example Commands

```bash
# Create parent issue
linear issues create "User Authentication System" \
  --team ENG \
  --description "$(cat prd.md)" \
  --priority 2

# Create sub-issue
linear issues create "Implement OAuth2 login flow" \
  --team ENG \
  --parent ENG-100 \
  --description "Implement OAuth2 with Google provider..."

# Set dependencies
linear issues update ENG-102 --blocked-by ENG-101

Best Practices

  1. Size tickets appropriately - Each should be 1-4 hours of focused work
  2. Include test commands - Always specify how to verify completion
  3. Be explicit about scope - Prevent scope creep with clear boundaries
  4. Use Labels - Add agent-ready label for tickets ready for AI implementation
