# 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.
