Publish Request

Prepare a release for human review in Linear. This skill ends before the publish command runs. The agent resumes only after a human moves the ticket to "Approved" in Linear.

When to Use

Use this skill when the publish-gate hook blocks a publish command with "No Linear ticket in Approved state." This skill prepares the approval request. It does not publish anything.

Prerequisites

• Linear MCP server configured (claude mcp add --transport http linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/mcp)
• LINEAR_API_KEY set in environment (for the hook to verify approval later)
