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.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'start-linear-ticket' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'start-linear-ticket' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named start-linear-ticket already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lifinance/contracts' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '29110f442110ee75a86b8e3d0999fcfc9a5d1bff' -- '.claude/skills/start-linear-ticket' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/start-linear-ticket' ~/.agents/skills/'start-linear-ticket' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'start-linear-ticket' ~/.claude/skills/'start-linear-ticket' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
