🔒 Repo-maintenance skill. It exists to help maintain getsentry/sdk-skills itself — it's only useful if you contribute code to that project.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Project Naming

Naming rules:

  • Remove any text in parentheses or brackets from the initiative name

  • Add suffix in square brackets

Format: [Clean Initiative Name] [[Suffix]]

Example: Initiative "SDK Handling HTTP 413 (Content Too Large)" → "SDK Handling HTTP 413 [Python]"

Instructions

Get the initiative identifier from the user if not provided. This can be an initiative ID, name, or URL.

Fetch the initiative details using mcp__linear-server__query_data:

Query: "Get initiative [identifier] with its name, description, targetDate, and any associated projects"

Present initiative summary to the user including:

  • Initiative name

  • Description/content

  • Target date (if set)

  • Any existing projects already linked

Ask which SDK teams should have projects created. Present options:

  • All SDK teams (all enabled teams from the table)

  • By category: JavaScript, Backend, Mobile, or Gaming (filter by Category column, only enabled)

  • Individual selection (let user specify specific teams)

If user selects individual, ask them to specify which teams from the table.

Ask about project naming:

  • Default: Use initiative name with team suffix (e.g., "Session Replay [Python]")

  • No suffix: Use initiative name only (same name for all projects)

  • Custom: Let user specify a custom naming pattern

For each selected team, create a project using mcp__linear-server__create_project:

  • name: Use the initiative name with suffix from the SDK Teams table (if suffixes enabled)

  • team: The team name

  • description: "Have a look at the initiative for a full description of this project."

  • initiative: Link to the source initiative

  • state: Set to "Backlog" (use status ID d4127831-7550-41f2-918c-d7699c6c7b95)

  • targetDate: If the initiative has a target date set, apply it to the project

Report results showing:

  • Successfully created projects with links

  • Any failures and reasons

(Optional) Ask about creating issues in each project:

  • Warn the user: "Issues may be automatically synced to GitHub. Do you want to create an issue in each project?"

  • Require explicit confirmation before proceeding

  • If confirmed, ask for issue content preference:

  • Full description: Use the complete initiative description as the issue body

  • Placeholder: "Have a look at the initiative for a full description."

  • Create one issue per project using mcp__linear-server__create_issue:

  • title: Same as project name (e.g., "SDK Handling HTTP 413 [Python]")

  • team: The team name

  • project: Link to the created project

  • description: Based on user's choice above

Notes

  • Always confirm the initiative details before creating projects

  • Check for existing projects to avoid duplicates

  • Projects are automatically linked to the initiative when the initiative parameter is provided

  • If a project already exists for a team under this initiative, skip it and notify the user

  • GitHub Sync Warning: Some teams have Linear-GitHub sync enabled. Issues created in Linear may automatically create corresponding GitHub issues. Always confirm with the user before creating issues.
