Linear monitor

Chat rules: [RESPONSE.md](./RESPONSE.md). Auth: [AUTH.md](./AUTH.md). Cadence: [METHODOLOGY.md](./METHODOLOGY.md) §6, §9, §20. Automation recipe: [AUTOMATION.md](./AUTOMATION.md).

Step 0 — auth

Probe Linear MCP. On failure → AUTH.md; stop.

Scope

User-named team/project, or all accessible teams if unset. Never soft-nudge git repos from Automation runs.

Checks (do now)

1. Dates — milestones/issues with targets approaching where work is not trending Done → candidates for atRisk (post only if health actually changes).
2. Stale In Progress — no comment >7 days → list with links.
3. Orphans — issues with no milestone → list.
4. Anti-patterns glance — milestone spam, status theater (§19); note only, don’t rewrite unasked.

Writes

• Default: read + optional comment on existing issues with findings.
• Status updates: only on real health changes (§20).
• Never: mass-create issues; never reorganize structure (hand off to linear-sync).

Output shape

1. Findings first (≤5 bullets; overflow → later).
2. What you changed (if anything), with links.
3. ONE next action for the human.
