/work-issue — Create a Linear issue

When this skill is invoked, follow these steps:

1. Read configuration

Read .workbranch.json for team prefix (default: ENGG).

2. Check for current work context

Get the current branch and try to extract a ticket ID by matching TEAM-\d+ in the branch name.

If a ticket ID is found, this new issue can optionally be noted as related. Ask the user if the new issue is related to the current work.

3. Determine issue details

If the user provided a title and/or description along with the command, use those directly.

If the user has been discussing a specific bug, task, or feature earlier in the conversation, infer a sensible title and description. Present for confirmation before proceeding.

If there is no context, ask for:

• Title (required)
• Description (optional)

4. Create the issue

linear issue create --title "TITLE" --description "DESCRIPTION" --team TEAM --assignee self --no-interactive

Important: linear issue create does NOT support --json. Parse the text output to extract the issue identifier. Then fetch details:

linear issue view ISSUE_ID --json --no-pager

5. Confirm creation

Show:

• Issue identifier (e.g. ENGG-789)
• Title
• URL (from the JSON view)

If this was identified as related to the current work, note the relationship and suggest the user link them in Linear if needed.
