linear-slice

# /linear-slice Turn a plan or PRD into a set of **thin, vertical, independently-shippable slices**, each created as a Linear issue in dependency order, then released into Deus's autonomous dispatch pipeline. This is the missing front-end to the Linear pipeline: the webhook gates (`enrichment-gate` → `bouncer-gate` → dispatcher) describe how an issue *flows through* the board, but not how a good, independently-grabbable issue gets *created*. This skill creates them. Creating issues is a deliberate action with real side effects. **Always preview and get explicit approval before creating anything.** ## How the pipeline works (the contract you must honor) The board is `Backlog → Todo → Ready for Agent → Agent Working → In Review → Done`. Gates fire on **transitions into** a state, never on issue creation: - **Backlog → Todo** fires the **enrichment gate**, a *mutating* controller that writes the scope block into the issue description itself (wrapped in `<!-- gate:enrichment-gate:start -->` … `<!-- gate:enrichment-gate:end -->`). - **Todo → Ready for Agent** fires the **bouncer gate**, which validates that scope block. - The dispatcher then picks up `Ready for Agent` issues autonomously. Consequences for this skill: - **Create issues in Backlog.** A freshly created issue fires no gate, so it sits inert until moved. - **Never pre-write the enrichment scope block.** It is gate-owned. Write a normal human description; the enrichment gate generates the `## Scope` block ...
