Core Life Operations

Overview

This skill provides domain-agnostic productivity workflows that can be imported and configured by context-specific skills. It handles Linear integration, agent coordination, and common productivity patterns.

Not user-facing: This skill is imported by other skills, not invoked directly.

Configuration Interface

Importing skills must provide these configuration values:

# Required
LINEAR_TEAM_NAME="Team Name"          # or LINEAR_TEAM_ID
REPO_PATH="/path/to/narrative/repo"   # Documentation repository

# Optional
LABEL_PREFIX=""                       # Prefix for custom labels
WORKFLOW_CUSTOMIZATIONS=""            # JSON override config

Available Workflows

Daily Planning Workflow

Import: workflows/daily-planning.md

What it does:

• Queries Linear for today's tasks (filtered by configured team)
• Analyzes deadlines and priorities
• Generates time-boxed schedule
• Returns structured plan to calling skill

Usage from importing skill:

[Import and execute core daily planning workflow]

Source: ~/.claude/skills/core-life-ops/workflows/daily-planning.md
Config: LINEAR_TEAM_NAME="${YOUR_TEAM_NAME}"

Task Triage Workflow

Import: workflows/task-triage.md

What it does:

• Fetches untriaged items from Linear team
• Categorizes by type, priority, project
• Suggests routing and labels
• Updates Linear with approved changes

Usage from importing skill:

[Import and execute core task triage workflow]

Source: ~/.claude/skills/core-life-ops/workflows/task-triage.md
Config: LINEAR_TEAM_NAME="${YOUR_TEAM_NAME}"

Productivity Reporting Workflow

Import: workflows/reporting.md

What it does:

• Aggregates completed tasks by time period
• Calculates velocity metrics
• Identifies trends and bottlenecks
• Generates formatted report

Usage from importing skill:

[Import and execute core reporting workflow]

Source: ~/.claude/skills/core-life-ops/workflows/reporting.md
Config: LINEAR_TEAM_NAME="${YOUR_TEAM_NAME}"

Linear Integration

This skill reuses linear-workflow-manager for all Linear GraphQL queries.

Required:

• linear-workflow-manager skill installed at ~/.claude/skills/linear-workflow-manager
• LINEAR_API_KEY configured in ~/.claude/.env

Query Helper:

~/.claude/skills/linear-workflow-manager/scripts/linear.sh query queries/planning/my-priorities.json

See references/linear-integration.md for detailed query patterns.

Agent Coordination Patterns

See references/agent-patterns.md for reusable patterns for:

• Launching planning agents
• Coordinating multi-stage workflows
• Parallel vs sequential agent execution
