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).
