# Linear Workflow

Linear rewards lightweight, opinionated process. This skill sets up a team so issues
flow predictably from idea to done.

## Step 1: Team structure

- Create one **team per delivery unit** (a squad that ships together), not per function.
- Keep team identifiers short (e.g. `ENG`, `WEB`) — they prefix every issue.
- Avoid sprawling sub-teams early; split only when a team's backlog is unmanageable.

## Step 2: Workflow states

Keep states minimal and meaningful:

```
Backlog -> Todo -> In Progress -> In Review -> Done
                                        |
                                    Canceled
```… install to load the full skill
