Subject: [PATCH 01/11] Add OPSX OpenSpec workflows, specs, and handlers

Introduce OPSX experimental workflow support and a large set of OpenSpec change artifacts. Adds command docs and skills for opsx (apply, archive, explore, propose) and corresponding SKILL.md files and prompts; bulk-imports many openspec change proposals, designs, specs and tasks; and adds openspec config. Implements numerous new feature handlers/types (agents, attachments, cycles, portfolio, subscriptions, webhooks, etc.), updates auth/GraphQL/client code, and augments tests. Also adds release/verify scripts, updates package.json, README and architecture, and adds CLAUDE.md and copilotapireview.md. These changes scaffold the OpenSpec-driven workflow and wire up server-side handlers and tests for the new capabilities.

+description: Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change (Experimental)
+category: Workflow

+---
+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name (e.g., `/opsx:apply add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using `/opsx:continue`
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! You can archive this change with `/opsx:archive`.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+description: Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:archive` (e.g., `/opsx:archive add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Spec sync status (synced / sync skipped / no delta specs)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success (No Delta Specs)**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** No delta specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success With Warnings**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete (with warnings)
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** Sync skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+**Warnings:**
+- Archived with 2 incomplete artifacts
+- Archived with 3 incomplete tasks
+- Delta spec sync was skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+Review the archive if this was not intentional.
+```
+
+**Output On Error (Archive Exists)**
+
+```
+## Archive Failed
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Target:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+
+Target archive directory already exists.
+
+**Options:**
+1. Rename the existing archive
+2. Delete the existing archive if it's a duplicate
+3. Wait until a different date to archive
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use the Skill tool to invoke `openspec-sync-specs` (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+description: "Enter explore mode - think through ideas, investigate problems, clarify requirements"
+category: Workflow
+tags: [workflow, explore, experimental, thinking]
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:explore` is whatever the user wants to think about. Could be:
+- A vague idea: "real-time collaboration"
+- A specific problem: "the auth system is getting unwieldy"
+- A change name: "add-dark-mode" (to explore in context of that change)
+- A comparison: "postgres vs sqlite for this"
+- Nothing (just enter explore mode)
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+---
+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+If the user mentioned a specific change name, read its artifacts for context.
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When things crystallize, you might offer a summary - but it's optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+Propose a new change - create the change and generate all artifacts in one step.
+
+I'll create a change with artifacts:
+- proposal.md (what & why)
+- design.md (how)
+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:propose` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` to start implementing."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact

+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one

+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema - could be proposal/specs/design/tasks or spec/tests/implementation/docs)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using openspec-continue-change
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! Ready to archive this change.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Whether specs were synced (if applicable)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped")
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+  version: "1.0"
+  generatedBy: "1.2.0"
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Handling Different Entry Points

+
+     Want to update the design to reflect this?
+     Or add a spike task to investigate?
+```
+
+**User wants to compare options:**
+```
+User: Should we use Postgres or SQLite?
+
+You: Generic answer is boring. What's the context?
+
+User: A CLI tool that tracks local dev environments
+
+You: That changes everything.

+
+     SQLite. Not even close.
+
+     Unless... is there a sync component?
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When it feels like things are crystallizing, you might summarize:
+
+```
+## What We Figured Out
+
+**The problem**: [crystallized understanding]
+
+**The approach**: [if one emerged]
+
+**Open questions**: [if any remain]
+
+**Next steps** (if ready):
+- Create a change proposal
+- Keep exploring: just keep talking
+```
+
+But this summary is optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema - could be proposal/specs/design/tasks or spec/tests/implementation/docs)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using openspec-continue-change
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! Ready to archive this change.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Whether specs were synced (if applicable)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped")
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Handling Different Entry Points

+
+**User wants to compare options:**
+```

+
+     SQLite. Not even close.
+
+     Unless... is there a sync component?
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When it feels like things are crystallizing, you might summarize:
+
+```
+## What We Figured Out
+
+**The problem**: [crystallized understanding]
+
+**The approach**: [if one emerged]
+
+**Open questions**: [if any remain]
+
+**Next steps** (if ready):
+- Create a change proposal
+- Keep exploring: just keep talking
+```
+
+But this summary is optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+
+**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."

+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**

+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+description: Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change (Experimental)
+category: Workflow
+tags: [workflow, artifacts, experimental]
+---
+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name (e.g., `/opsx:apply add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using `/opsx:continue`
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! You can archive this change with `/opsx:archive`.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+description: Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:archive` (e.g., `/opsx:archive add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Spec sync status (synced / sync skipped / no delta specs)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success (No Delta Specs)**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** No delta specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success With Warnings**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete (with warnings)
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** Sync skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+**Warnings:**
+- Archived with 2 incomplete artifacts
+- Archived with 3 incomplete tasks
+- Delta spec sync was skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+Review the archive if this was not intentional.
+```
+
+**Output On Error (Archive Exists)**
+
+```
+## Archive Failed
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Target:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+
+Target archive directory already exists.
+
+**Options:**
+1. Rename the existing archive
+2. Delete the existing archive if it's a duplicate
+3. Wait until a different date to archive
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use the Skill tool to invoke `openspec-sync-specs` (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+description: Enter explore mode - think through ideas, investigate problems, clarify requirements
+category: Workflow
+tags: [workflow, explore, experimental, thinking]
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:explore` is whatever the user wants to think about. Could be:
+- A vague idea: "real-time collaboration"
+- A specific problem: "the auth system is getting unwieldy"
+- A change name: "add-dark-mode" (to explore in context of that change)
+- A comparison: "postgres vs sqlite for this"
+- Nothing (just enter explore mode)
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+---
+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+If the user mentioned a specific change name, read its artifacts for context.
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When things crystallize, you might offer a summary - but it's optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+- proposal.md (what & why)
+- design.md (how)
+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:propose` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` to start implementing."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema - could be proposal/specs/design/tasks or spec/tests/implementation/docs)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using openspec-continue-change
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! Ready to archive this change.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused

+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Whether specs were synced (if applicable)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped")
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+description: Enter explore mode - a thinking partner for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements. Use when the user wants to think through something before or during a change.
+license: MIT
+compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.
+metadata:
+  author: openspec
+  version: "1.0"
+  generatedBy: "1.2.0"
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+---
+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Handling Different Entry Points

+
+     Want to update the design to reflect this?
+     Or add a spike task to investigate?

+
+**User wants to compare options:**
+```
+User: Should we use Postgres or SQLite?
+
+You: Generic answer is boring. What's the context?

+User: A CLI tool that tracks local dev environments
+

+
+     SQLite. Not even close.
+
+     Unless... is there a sync component?
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When it feels like things are crystallizing, you might summarize:
+
+```
+## What We Figured Out
+
+**The problem**: [crystallized understanding]
+
+**The approach**: [if one emerged]
+
+**Open questions**: [if any remain]
+
+**Next steps** (if ready):
+- Create a change proposal
+- Keep exploring: just keep talking
+```
+
+But this summary is optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name (e.g., `/opsx:apply add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using `/opsx:continue`
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! You can archive this change with `/opsx:archive`.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:archive` (e.g., `/opsx:archive add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Spec sync status (synced / sync skipped / no delta specs)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success (No Delta Specs)**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** No delta specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success With Warnings**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete (with warnings)
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** Sync skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+**Warnings:**
+- Archived with 2 incomplete artifacts
+- Archived with 3 incomplete tasks
+- Delta spec sync was skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+Review the archive if this was not intentional.
+```
+
+**Output On Error (Archive Exists)**
+
+```
+## Archive Failed
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Target:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+
+Target archive directory already exists.
+
+**Options:**
+1. Rename the existing archive
+2. Delete the existing archive if it's a duplicate
+3. Wait until a different date to archive
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use the Skill tool to invoke `openspec-sync-specs` (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+description: Enter explore mode - think through ideas, investigate problems, clarify requirements
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:explore` is whatever the user wants to think about. Could be:
+- A vague idea: "real-time collaboration"
+- A specific problem: "the auth system is getting unwieldy"
+- A change name: "add-dark-mode" (to explore in context of that change)
+- A comparison: "postgres vs sqlite for this"
+- Nothing (just enter explore mode)
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**
+```

+
+---
+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+If the user mentioned a specific change name, read its artifacts for context.
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When things crystallize, you might offer a summary - but it's optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+Propose a new change - create the change and generate all artifacts in one step.
+
+I'll create a change with artifacts:
+- proposal.md (what & why)
+- design.md (how)
+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:propose` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` to start implementing."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - Context file paths (varies by schema - could be proposal/specs/design/tasks or spec/tests/implementation/docs)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using openspec-continue-change
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance

+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Whether specs were synced (if applicable)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped")
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+description: Enter explore mode - a thinking partner for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements. Use when the user wants to think through something before or during a change.
+license: MIT
+compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.
+metadata:
+  author: openspec
+  version: "1.0"
+  generatedBy: "1.2.0"
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+---
+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+   | Insight Type | Where to Capture |
+   |--------------|------------------|
+   | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Requirement changed | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+   | Design decision made | `design.md` |
+   | Scope changed | `proposal.md` |
+   | New work identified | `tasks.md` |
+   | Assumption invalidated | Relevant artifact |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Handling Different Entry Points

+
+**User is stuck mid-implementation:**
+```
+User: /opsx:explore add-auth-system

+
+     [draws diagram, explores options, suggests paths]
+
+     Want to update the design to reflect this?
+     Or add a spike task to investigate?
+```
+
+**User wants to compare options:**
+```
+User: Should we use Postgres or SQLite?
+
+You: Generic answer is boring. What's the context?
+
+User: A CLI tool that tracks local dev environments
+
+You: That changes everything.

+
+     SQLite. Not even close.
+
+     Unless... is there a sync component?
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When it feels like things are crystallizing, you might summarize:
+
+```
+## What We Figured Out
+
+**The problem**: [crystallized understanding]
+
+**The approach**: [if one emerged]
+
+**Open questions**: [if any remain]
+
+**Next steps** (if ready):
+- Create a change proposal
+- Keep exploring: just keep talking
+```
+
+But this summary is optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+MCP server exposing Linear's API as tools for MCP-compatible clients (Cline, Claude Code, etc.).
+
+## Stack
+
+- TypeScript (ESM, `"type": "module"`)
+- `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` for MCP server
+- `@linear/sdk` + raw GraphQL (`graphql`, `graphql-tag`) for Linear API
+- Jest + ts-jest for tests
+- Auth: Linear Personal API Key (OAuth flow scaffolded but not implemented)
+
+## Commands
+
+- `npm run build` — compile TS to `build/` and chmod the entry
+- `npm start` — run `build/index.js`
+- `npm run dev` — nodemon: rebuild + restart on `src/` changes
+- `npm test` — Jest (all)
+- `npm run test:watch` / `test:coverage`
+- `npm run test:integration` — only `*.integration.test.ts`
+

+
+Architecture is domain-driven and layered. New Linear capability = new folder under `src/features/<domain>/` with `handlers/` + `types/`, registered via the handler factory and exposed in `core/types/tool.types.ts`.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- ESM imports require `.js` extensions in TS source (compiles to ESM).
+- Tool schemas live in `src/core/types/tool.types.ts`; handlers implement `ToolHandler`.
+- Add a domain by mirroring an existing feature (e.g. `features/issues/`). Wire it in the handler factory.
+- Tests colocated under `src/__tests__/` or per-feature; use `*.integration.test.ts` for live API tests.
+- Linear auth via `LINEAR_API_KEY` env var (`.env` for local dev).
+
+## Notes for Claude
+
+- Always read existing handler/feature files before adding new ones — follow established patterns.
+- After editing, run `npm run build` to catch type errors before declaring done.
+- Don't touch `build/` (generated).
+- OAuth flow in `auth.ts` / `scripts/` is **not** wired up — don't assume it works.
+- See `architecture.md` for the full architectural rationale.

 # Linear MCP Server
 
-An MCP server for interacting with Linear's API. This server provides a set of tools for managing Linear issues, projects, and teams through Cline.
-
-## Setup Guide
-
-### 1. Environment Setup
-
-1. Clone the repository
-2. Install dependencies:
-   ```bash
-   npm install
-   ```
-3. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`:
-   ```bash
-   cp .env.example .env
-   ```
-
-### 2. Authentication
-
-The server supports two authentication methods:
-
-#### API Key (Recommended)
-
-1. Go to Linear Settings
-2. Navigate to the "Security & access" section
-3. Find the "Personal API keys" section
-4. Click "New API key"
-5. Give the key a descriptive label (e.g. "Cline MCP")
-6. Copy the generated token immediately
-7. Add the token to your `.env` file:
-   ```
-   LINEAR_API_KEY=your_api_key
-   ```
-
-#### OAuth Flow (Alternative) ***NOT IMPLEMENTED***
-
-1. Create an OAuth application at https://linear.app/settings/api/applications
-2. Configure OAuth environment variables in `.env`:
-   ```
-   LINEAR_CLIENT_ID=your_oauth_client_id
-   LINEAR_CLIENT_SECRET=your_oauth_client_secret
-   LINEAR_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/callback
-   ```
-
-### 3. Running the Server
-
-1. Build the server:
-   ```bash
-   npm run build
-   ```
-2. Start the server:
-   ```bash
-   npm start
-   ```
-
-### 4. Cline Integration
-
-1. Open your Cline MCP settings file:
-   - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
-   - Windows: `%APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
-   - Linux: `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
-
-2. Add the Linear MCP server configuration:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "mcpServers": {
-       "linear": {
-         "command": "node",
-         "args": ["/path/to/linear-mcp/build/index.js"],
-         "env": {
-           "LINEAR_API_KEY": "your_personal_access_token"
-         },
-         "disabled": false,
-         "autoApprove": []
-       }
-     }
-   }
-   ```
-
-## Available Actions
-
-The server currently supports the following operations:
-
-### Issue Management
-- ✅ Create issues with full field support (title, description, team, project, etc.)
-- ✅ Update existing issues (priority, description, etc.)
-- ✅ Delete issues (single or bulk deletion)
-- ✅ Search issues with filtering
-- ✅ Associate issues with projects
-- ✅ Create parent/child issue relationships
-- ✅ Read and create comments and threaded comments
-
-### Project Management
-- ✅ Create projects with associated issues
-- ✅ Get project information **with rich text descriptions**
-- ✅ Search projects **with rich text descriptions**
-- ✅ Associate issues with projects
-- ✅ Proper description handling using Linear's `documentContent` field
-
-### Team Management
-- ✅ Get team information (with states and workflow details)
-- ✅ Access team states and labels
-
-### Authentication
-- ✅ API Key authentication
-- ✅ Secure token storage
-
-### Batch Operations
-- ✅ Bulk issue creation
-- ✅ Bulk issue deletion
-
-### Bulk Updates (In Testing)
-- 🚧 Bulk issue updates (parallel processing implemented, needs testing)
-
-## Rich Text Description Support
-
-The server now properly handles Linear's rich text descriptions for projects:
-
-- **Legacy Support**: Maintains compatibility with the old `description` field
-- **Rich Content**: Uses Linear's `documentContent` field for actual description content
-- **Automatic Fallback**: Falls back to legacy field if rich content is unavailable
-- **Type Safety**: Includes proper TypeScript types for both description formats
-
-### How It Works
-
-Linear uses a dual-field system for descriptions:
-1. `description` - Legacy field (often empty for backward compatibility)
-2. `documentContent.content` - Contains the actual rich text description content
-
-The MCP server automatically:
-- Queries both fields from Linear's API
-- Prioritizes `documentContent.content` over the legacy `description` field
-- Provides a utility function `getProjectDescription()` for consistent access
-- Returns an `actualDescription` field in responses for easy access
-
-## Features in Development
-
-The following features are currently being worked on:
-
-### Issue Management
-- 🚧 Complex search filters
-- 🚧 Pagination support for large result sets
-
-### Metadata Operations
-- 🚧 Label management (create/update/assign)
-- 🚧 Cycle/milestone management
-
-### Project Management
-- 🚧 Project template support
-- 🚧 Advanced project operations
-
-### Authentication
-- 🚧 OAuth flow with automatic token refresh
-
-### Performance & Security
-- 🚧 Rate limiting
-- 🚧 Detailed logging
-- 🚧 Load testing and optimization
+An MCP server for Linear built in TypeScript. It exposes a structured tool surface for issues, projects, workflow metadata, attachments, portfolio entities, webhooks, and agent workflows.
+
+## What it supports
+
+### Core work management
+- Issues: get, create, batch create, bulk update, list, search, delete, hierarchy via `parentId`, and general issue relations
+- Projects: create, update, delete, get, list, search, create-with-issues, project updates, and initiative association via `initiativeId`
+- Comments: get a single comment, list comments globally or by issue, create threaded replies with `parentId`, update, delete, resolve, and unresolve threads
+- Project milestones: create, update, delete, get, search, list, bulk create
+
+### Workflow and discovery
+- Teams: get, list
+- Users: viewer, get, list, search
+- Workflow states: list
+- Labels: list, create, update, delete
+- Cycles: get, list, current cycle
+
+### Integrations and advanced surfaces
+- Attachments: get, list, create, update, delete
+- Webhooks: get, list, create, delete
+- Portfolio entities: initiatives and customers
+- Agents: agent sessions and agent activities
+- Capabilities: runtime capability discovery
+
+### Runtime-aware behavior
+- Subscription tools are only advertised when the runtime reports streaming transport support.
+- If a subscription tool is invoked on stdio, the server returns a structured capability-limitation error instead of a generic failure.
+- The default runtime is stdio. Set `LINEAR_MCP_TRANSPORT=stream` to expose a remote MCP streamable HTTP endpoint instead.
+- Stream mode uses MCP streamable HTTP at `LINEAR_MCP_PATH` (default `/mcp`). The server does **not** expose a legacy `/sse` endpoint.
+
+## Authentication
+
+### API key
+
+Set a personal API key in the environment:
+
+```bash
+LINEAR_API_KEY=your_api_key
+```
+
+This is the simplest way to run the server locally.
+
+### OAuth
+
+The OAuth flow is available through MCP tools:
+
+1. Call `linear_auth` with `clientId`, `clientSecret`, and `redirectUri`.
+2. Open the returned `authorizationUrl`.
+3. Call `linear_auth_callback` with both `code` and the exact returned `state`.
+
+Notes:
+- OAuth uses `actor=app`.
+- Callback state is single-use and validated against the issued authorization request. If a link goes stale, call `linear_auth` again to get a fresh URL and state.
+- The generated authorization URL uses only Linear-supported parameters. The server does not request offline-only OAuth parameters.
+- Token refresh is awaited before handlers resolve the active client.
+
+## Webhook security
+
+Webhook management tools only register webhooks with Linear. They do **not** host a public receiver for you.
+
+If you create a webhook:
+- store the webhook secret outside the repository,
+- verify the Linear signature on every delivered payload,
+- reject unsigned or invalid payloads before processing them.
 
 ## Development
 
 ```bash
-# Install dependencies
 npm install
-
-# Run tests
+npm run build
 npm test
+npm start
+```
+
+Additional commands:
 
-# Run integration tests (requires LINEAR_API_KEY)
+```bash
+npm run dev
+npm run test:coverage
 npm run test:integration
+```
 
-# Build the server
-npm run build
+## MCP setup
+
+Example MCP configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "linear": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\linear-mcp\\build\\index.js"],
+      "env": {
+        "LINEAR_API_KEY": "your_personal_access_token"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-# Start the server
-npm start
+## Runtime transports
+
+### Stdio
+
+- Default mode for local clients such as Cline.
+- No remote HTTP endpoint is available in stdio mode.
+- Startup diagnostics will report whether `LINEAR_API_KEY` is configured or whether you still need to finish auth setup.
+
+### Streamable HTTP
+
+Set these environment variables before starting the server:
+
+```bash
+LINEAR_MCP_TRANSPORT=stream
+LINEAR_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
+LINEAR_MCP_PORT=3000
+LINEAR_MCP_PATH=/mcp
 ```
 
-## Integration Testing
-
-Integration tests verify that authentication and API calls work correctly:
-
-1. Set up authentication (API Key recommended for testing)
-2. Run integration tests:
-   ```bash
-   npm run test:integration
-   ```
-
-For OAuth testing:
-1. Configure OAuth credentials in `.env`
-2. Remove `.skip` from OAuth tests in `src/__tests__/auth.integration.test.ts`
-3. Run integration tests
-

\ No newline at end of file
+- Clients should connect to `http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp` by default.
+- `/sse` is not a supported endpoint; use the configured streamable HTTP path instead.
+- If you need a public tunnel for a remote client, expose the configured port and forward the `/mcp` path. For example, `ngrok http 3000` should target the stream endpoint, not `/sse`.
+
+## Issue workflows
+
+### Hierarchy vs. relations
+
+- Use `parentId` on `linear_create_issue` and `linear_bulk_update_issues` for parent-child hierarchy.
+- Use `linear_create_issue_relation` and `linear_delete_issue_relation` for non-hierarchical relationships such as blocked-by or duplicate links.
+- `linear_get_issue` is the canonical hierarchy read and returns both `parent` and `children` references when they exist.
+
+Example hierarchy update:
+
+```json
+{
+  "issueIds": ["ENG-124"],
+  "update": {
+    "parentId": "ENG-100"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Existing issue project assignment
+
+Use `linear_bulk_update_issues` for the released existing-issue update path, even when updating a single issue:
+
+```json
+{
+  "issueIds": ["ENG-123"],
+  "update": {
+    "projectId": "project-abc"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- Set or change a project assignment by sending a project ID.
+- Clear an existing project assignment explicitly with `"projectId": null`.
+- Omitting `projectId` leaves the current project unchanged.
+
+## Project and initiative workflows
+
+- Initiative lifecycle tools are available through `linear_get_initiative`, `linear_list_initiatives`, `linear_create_initiative`, and `linear_update_initiative`.
+- Project create and update workflows accept `initiativeId` so clients can attach a project to an initiative.
+- Clear an existing initiative association explicitly with `"initiativeId": null` on `linear_update_project`.
+- Project reads and mutation responses include linked initiative summary data when the association exists.
+
+Example project update:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "project-abc",
+  "initiativeId": "initiative-42"
+}
+```
+
+## Search semantics
+
+- `linear_list_issues` is the filter-and-pagination path.
+- `linear_search_issues` is the free-text search path and always requires `query`.
+- Optional `teamId`, `projectId`, `assigneeId`, `stateId`, `states`, `priority`, and `cycleId` filters are applied alongside the text query.
+- The search path sends `query` through Linear's search backend instead of encoding it as an issue filter field.
+
+## Marketplace and packaged installs
+
+- The published package exposes the `linear-mcp` executable from `build/index.js`.
+- Release verification uses:
+
+```bash
+npm run verify:tool-catalog
+npm run verify:package-install
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- If startup logs say `Auth: no LINEAR_API_KEY detected`, the package installed correctly and you only need to finish auth setup.
+- If a remote client hangs on `/sse`, switch it to the configured streamable HTTP endpoint such as `/mcp`, or run the server in stdio mode for local clients.
+- Before publishing, run `npm run verify:release` to rebuild, validate the built tool catalog, and smoke-test a fresh package install.
+
+## Comment tools
+
+- `linear_get_comment` returns a direct comment payload with stable IDs, author metadata, issue context, parent linkage, and resolution state when present.
+- `linear_list_comments` and `linear_get_issue_comments` both accept Linear-style collection controls: `first`, `after`, `last`, `before`, `filter`, `includeArchived`, and `orderBy`.
+- `linear_create_comment` and `linear_update_comment` use markdown `body` as the primary content field. `bodyData` remains optional advanced structured content for clients that need it.
+
+## Released tool surface (Version 1.0.0)
+
+Version 1.0.0 ships the released issue-update and comment workflow surface:
+
+- `linear_bulk_update_issues`
+- `linear_get_comment`
+- `linear_list_comments`
+- `linear_get_issue_comments`
+- `linear_create_comment`
+- `linear_update_comment`
+- `linear_delete_comment`
+- `linear_resolve_comment`
+- `linear_unresolve_comment`
+
+## Implementation notes
+
+- Tool schemas in `src/core/types/tool.types.ts` use standard JSON Schema.
+- Tool responses return machine-readable `structuredContent`.
+- Comment tools use markdown-first `body` fields; `bodyData` is optional advanced structured content.
+- The server uses both raw GraphQL operations and the current `@linear/sdk` surface.
+- GraphQL errors preserve status, headers, extensions, retryability, and error details.

 # Linear MCP Architecture
 
-This document outlines the architecture of the Linear MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementation.
-
 ## Overview
 
-The Linear MCP provides a type-safe, modular interface to the Linear API. It abstracts away the complexity of GraphQL operations while providing a clean, domain-driven API surface through MCP tools.
-
-## Core Concepts
-
-### Domain-Driven Design
-
-The codebase is organized around business domains:
-- Authentication
-- Issues
-- Projects
-- Teams
-- Users
+The server defaults to stdio and can optionally expose MCP streamable HTTP with a domain-driven handler layer on top of Linear's API. It uses a hybrid integration model:
 
-Each domain has its own set of:
-- Handlers (for MCP tool operations)
-- Types
-- Tests
+- raw GraphQL for legacy operations that still rely on explicit documents,
+- current `@linear/sdk` methods for newer capability areas,
+- structured MCP responses for both reads and mutations.
 
-### Layered Architecture

-## Key Components
-
-### Handler Architecture
-
-The handler system provides a clean separation of concerns for MCP tool operations:
-
-```typescript
-// Base handler with shared functionality
-abstract class BaseHandler {
-  protected verifyAuth(): LinearGraphQLClient;
-  protected createResponse(text: string): BaseToolResponse;
-  protected createJsonResponse(data: unknown): BaseToolResponse;
-  protected handleError(error: unknown, operation: string): never;
-  protected validateRequiredParams(params: Record<string, unknown>, required: string[]): void;
-}
-
-// Feature-specific handlers extend the base
-class IssueHandler extends BaseHandler {
-  handleCreateIssue(args: any): Promise<BaseToolResponse>;
-  handleSearchIssues(args: any): Promise<BaseToolResponse>;
-  // ... other issue operations
-}
-
-// Factory for managing handlers
-class HandlerFactory {
-  private authHandler: AuthHandler;
-  private issueHandler: IssueHandler;
-  // ... other handlers
-
-  getHandlerForTool(toolName: string): { handler: BaseHandler; method: string };
-}
-```
+## Request flow
 
-### Authentication Layer
+1. `index.ts` accepts MCP `ListTools` and `CallTool` requests.
+2. `tool.types.ts` provides strict JSON Schema input contracts.
+3. `handler.factory.ts` maps tool names to feature handlers.
+4. Feature handlers extend `BaseHandler` for validation, auth checks, structured success responses, and structured errors.
+5. `auth.ts` resolves the active Linear client lazily so auth changes are visible to every handler.
 
-The authentication system supports both API Key and OAuth flows:
+## Authentication model
 
-```typescript
-class AuthHandler extends BaseHandler {
-  handleAuth(args: any): Promise<BaseToolResponse>;
-  handleAuthCallback(args: any): Promise<BaseToolResponse>;
-}
+`LinearAuth` supports:
 
-interface AuthConfig {
-  type: 'apikey' | 'oauth';
-  accessToken?: string;
-  clientId?: string;
-  clientSecret?: string;
-  redirectUri?: string;
-}
-```
+- API key authentication from `LINEAR_API_KEY`
+- OAuth authorization URL generation with Linear-supported parameters
+- single-use callback state validation
+- awaited token refresh
+- late-bound client access through `ensureAuthenticatedClient()` and `getGraphQLClient()`
 
-### GraphQL Layer
-
-The GraphQL layer provides domain-specific operations with atomic and composite patterns:
-
-```typescript
-class LinearGraphQLClient {
-  // Execute GraphQL operations
-  async execute<T>(document: DocumentNode, variables?: any): Promise<T>;
-  
-  // Atomic operations
-  async createProject(input: ProjectInput): Promise<ProjectResponse>;
-  async createBatchIssues(issues: CreateIssueInput[]): Promise<IssueBatchResponse>;
-  
-  // Composite operations (built from atomic operations)
-  async createProjectWithIssues(
-    projectInput: ProjectInput, 
-    issues: CreateIssueInput[]
-  ): Promise<ProjectResponse> {
-    // Creates project first, then creates issues with project reference
-    const project = await this.createProject(projectInput);
-    const issuesWithProject = issues.map(issue => ({
-      ...issue,
-      projectId: project.projectCreate.project.id
-    }));
-    const batchResult = await this.createBatchIssues(issuesWithProject);
-    return { projectCreate: project.projectCreate, issueBatchCreate: batchResult.issueBatchCreate };
-  }
-}
-```
+OAuth authorization requests use `actor=app` and require the freshly issued `state` on callback.
 
-This pattern ensures:
-- Clear separation between atomic and composite operations
-- Type safety through the entire operation chain
-- Proper error handling at each step
-- Reusable atomic operations
+## GraphQL and SDK layer
 
-### Error Handling
+`src/graphql/client.ts` is the shared execution boundary.
 
-Errors are handled consistently through the MCP error system:
+It provides:
 
-```typescript
-interface BaseToolResponse {
-  content: Array<{
-    type: string;
-    text: string;
-  }>;
-}
+- raw GraphQL execution with preserved status, headers, GraphQL errors, and extensions
+- `executeSdk()` for SDK calls that should share the same structured error behavior
+- `LinearGraphQLRequestError` for surfacing GraphQL metadata at the MCP boundary
 
-interface ErrorToolResponse extends BaseToolResponse {
-  isError: true;
-}
-```
+## Response contract
 
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Handler Organization**
-   - Each domain has its own handler
-   - Handlers extend BaseHandler
-   - Keep handler methods focused and single-purpose
-
-2. **Type Safety**
-   - Define tool schemas in tool.types.ts
-   - Use interfaces for handler methods
-   - Minimize use of 'any' type
-
-3. **Error Handling**
-   - Use BaseHandler error methods
-   - Provide clear error messages
-   - Include operation context in errors
-
-4. **Testing**
-   - Test each handler independently
-   - Use integration tests for full flows
-   - Mock GraphQL responses
-
-## Planned Improvements
-
-### Type Safety & Validation
-- Replace all 'any' types with proper interfaces
-- Generate types from GraphQL schema
-- Add runtime type checking
-- Implement JSON schema validation for inputs
-- Improve error messages for validation failures
-
-### Performance Optimizations
-- Implement true batch mutations for bulk operations

-- Support multiple OAuth scopes
-
-### GraphQL Operations
-- Implement true batching for bulk operations
-- Move to code generation for type safety
-- Add operation validation and optimization
-- Implement proper error handling
-- Add query complexity analysis
-
-### Authentication Refactoring
-- Split authentication into separate implementations:
-  ```typescript
-  interface ILinearAuth {
-    initialize(config: AuthConfig): void;
-    isAuthenticated(): boolean;
-    getClient(): LinearClient;
-  }
-
-  class OAuthLinearAuth implements ILinearAuth {
-    // OAuth-specific implementation
-  }
-
-  class APILinearAuth implements ILinearAuth {
-    // API-specific implementation
-  }
-  ```
-
-### Caching Layer
-- Implement caching for frequently accessed data:
-  ```typescript
-  interface CacheConfig {
-    ttl: number;
-    maxSize: number;
-  }
-
-  class CacheManager {
-    private cache: Map<string, CacheEntry>;
-    
-    get<T>(key: string): T | undefined;
-    set<T>(key: string, value: T, ttl?: number): void;
-    invalidate(pattern: string): void;
-  }
-  ```
-
-### Rate Limiting
-- Add rate limiting middleware:
-  ```typescript
-  class RateLimiter {
-    private readonly limits: Map<string, number>;
-    private readonly windowMs: number;
-
-    async checkLimit(operation: string): Promise<boolean>;
-    async waitForAvailability(operation: string): Promise<void>;
-  }
-  ```
-
-### Error Handling
-- Implement domain-specific error types:
-  ```typescript
-  class LinearApiError extends Error {
-    constructor(
-      public code: string,
-      public operation: string,
-      message: string
-    ) {
-      super(message);
-    }
-  }
-  ```
-
-## Contributing
-
-When contributing to this codebase:
-
-1. Follow the handler pattern
-2. Maintain domain separation
-3. Add tests for new handlers
-4. Update tool schemas
-5. Keep handlers focused
-6. Document new tools
-
-## File Organization
-
-Keep related code together:
+Handlers return MCP-compatible results shaped around:
 
-```
-features/issues/
-├── handlers/          # Issue-related handlers
-│   └── issue.handler.ts
-├── types/            # Issue-specific types
-│   └── issue.types.ts
-└── __tests__/        # Tests
-    ├── issue.test.ts
-    └── issue.integration.test.ts
-```
+- human-readable text summaries in `content`
+- machine-readable payloads in `structuredContent`
+- `isError: true` for tool-visible failures
+
+Error responses distinguish:
 
-## Dependency Management
+- GraphQL failures
+- auth failures
+- permission failures
+- MCP validation failures
+- capability limitations
 
-- Keep dependencies minimal
-- Use peer dependencies where appropriate
-- Lock dependency versions
-- Document breaking changes
+## Runtime capability gating
+
+`src/core/capabilities.ts` describes runtime support, endpoint metadata, and subscription behavior.
+
+- On stdio, subscription tools are not advertised in the tool list.
+- On stdio, no remote endpoint is exposed.
+- On stream transport, capability metadata includes the active streamable HTTP endpoint.
+- If a client still invokes a subscription tool directly, the server returns a structured capability error.
+- `linear_get_capabilities` exposes the active runtime and feature availability.
+
+This keeps advanced surfaces explicit without pretending that stdio can sustain streaming semantics it does not support or that `/sse` exists when the runtime is configured for streamable HTTP at `/mcp`.
+
+## Domain boundaries
+
+- **Issues** own detailed issue reads, hierarchy via `parentId`, planning-field mutations, search/list semantics, and general relations.
+- **Projects** own standalone lifecycle, shared read shape, project updates, and initiative association.
+- **Teams / Users** own discovery surfaces.
+- **Cycles / Labels / Workflow states** expose workflow primitives needed by issue automation.
+- **Portfolio** owns initiative and customer lifecycle, while project handlers surface initiative linkage in project-oriented reads and mutations.
+- **Attachments / Webhooks / Agents** keep integration-focused behavior out of the issue and project handlers.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+The test suite mixes:
+
+- unit tests for auth and GraphQL client behavior,
+- contract tests for tool schemas and capability gating,
+- handler tests for hierarchy, project assignment, and initiative association semantics,
+- runtime transport tests for streamable HTTP interoperability,
+- optional integration tests for live Linear credentials.
+
+Release verification also includes built-artifact checks:
+
+- `npm run verify:tool-catalog` validates the built server's advertised tool surface,
+- `npm run verify:package-install` smoke-tests a fresh packaged install before publishing.
+
+The expected local verification path is:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+npm test
+```

+# Copilot API Review: `linear-mcp`
+
+> **Note**
+> This review captured the repository before the parity and fidelity changes implemented from the active OpenSpec proposals. Treat it as historical context, not the current feature inventory.
+
+## Scope and method
+
+This review compares the current MCP server implementation in this repository to Linear's current public API surface and MCP best practices.
+
+- **Repo inspection:** `src\index.ts`, `src\auth.ts`, `src\graphql\client.ts`, `src\graphql\queries.ts`, `src\graphql\mutations.ts`, `src\core\types\tool.types.ts`, feature handlers/types, tests, `README.md`, and `architecture.md`
+- **External research:** GPT-5.4, GPT-4.1, Claude Opus, and Claude Sonnet research passes plus current official Linear docs and current Linear SDK/schema sources
+- **Note:** Perplexity search is not available in this environment, so current documentation was verified directly against Linear's docs and SDK/schema sources instead
+
+## Executive summary
+
+The server is **useful but far from high fidelity**.
+
+It currently exposes a narrow slice of Linear:
+
+- auth
+- issues
+- projects
+- teams
+- users
+- comments
+- project milestones
+
+That is materially smaller than the current Linear API surface, which now includes richer search, workflow states, labels, issue relations, cycles, attachments, project updates, webhooks, subscriptions, initiatives, customers, and agent-session APIs.
+
+More importantly, there are **fidelity bugs inside the surface it already exposes**:
+
+1. **OAuth is not end-to-end usable** for the rest of the server because the shared GraphQL client is fixed before OAuth callback completes.
+2. **Token refresh is not awaited and is not propagated** to the existing GraphQL client wrapper.
+3. **Search tools are not using Linear's current search endpoints**; they behave like filtered listings instead of true search.
+4. **Comment reply parameters are inconsistent** across tool schema, handler types, and Linear's actual API.
+5. **GraphQL errors, rate-limit signals, and complexity headers are discarded**, which makes the server low fidelity under real load.
+
+If the goal is a **high-fidelity MCP server for Linear**, the right path is:
+
+1. fix the current correctness gaps,
+2. upgrade the Linear SDK/schema baseline,
+3. move to schema-driven structured tool outputs,
+4. expand coverage in priority order around issues, workflow states, labels, cycles, attachments, project updates, and agent/webhook support.
+
+## Current MCP surface vs current Linear API
+
+| Area | Current Linear capability | Repo coverage | Alignment | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Auth | API keys, OAuth2, PKCE, refresh tokens, `client_credentials`, `actor=app` | API key + partial OAuth init/callback | **Low** | Missing PKCE, client credentials, actor-mode parity, robust refresh handling |
+| Issues | Rich create/update/list/search/filter/relations/sub-issues | Create, batch create, batch update, filtered search, delete | **Partial** | Missing many fields and related entities |
+| Issue search | `searchIssues(term, filter, includeComments, teamId, pagination)` | `issues(filter...)` wrapper | **Low** | Not true search |
+| Projects | CRUD, statuses, labels, updates, members, lead, dates, search | Create-with-issues, get, exact-name search | **Low** | No standalone create/update/delete/list/search parity |
+| Teams | Team queries plus states, members, cycles, hierarchy | List teams with states/labels | **Partial** | No team get/list filters/pagination/members/cycles |
+| Users | Viewer, users list/search, user lookup | Viewer only | **Low** | Missing user lookup/list |
+| Workflow states | `workflowState`, `workflowStates` | Only embedded under teams | **Low** | No first-class tooling |
+| Comments | Create/read/update/delete, threaded replies, reactions | Get issue comments, create comment | **Partial** | Missing update/delete/reactions |
+| Milestones | Project milestone CRUD/list/search/move | Good partial coverage | **Partial** | One of the stronger areas |
+| Labels | Issue/project label CRUD and queries | Internal GraphQL mutation exists, no exposed tools | **Low** | Big feature gap |
+| Relations | Issue relations CRUD | None | **None** | No blocks/duplicate/related support |
+| Cycles | Query/list/create/update | None | **None** | Major workflow gap |
+| Attachments | CRUD, idempotent URL semantics, metadata, uploads | None | **None** | High-value integration gap |
+| Project updates | Query/create/update/archive | None | **None** | Important for modern Linear usage |
+| Webhooks | Query/create/delete + HMAC verification model | None | **None** | No event-driven sync |
+| Subscriptions | GraphQL subscriptions available | None | **None** | No real-time surface |

+
+## High-impact fidelity gaps in the existing implementation
+
+### 1. OAuth does not wire the rest of the server
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `src\index.ts` creates `HandlerFactory` once and passes a possibly undefined `graphqlClient`
+- `src\features\auth\handlers\auth.handler.ts` calls `auth.handleCallback(...)`
+- `src\auth.ts` creates a new `LinearClient` after callback
+- Other handlers still hold the original `graphqlClient` reference from startup
+
+**Impact**
+
+After successful OAuth callback, the auth object may be authenticated, but the feature handlers can still fail with `Not authenticated. Call linear_auth first.` because their shared `graphqlClient` was never rebuilt.
+
+**Priority:** P0
+
+### 2. Token refresh is async, but `verifyAuth()` does not await it
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts`
+  - `if (this.auth.needsTokenRefresh()) { this.auth.refreshAPIKey(); }`
+- `src\auth.ts`
+  - `refreshAPIKey()` is `async`
+
+**Impact**
+
+Refresh can race with the next API call, errors can be dropped, and the existing `LinearGraphQLClient` still wraps the old client instance.
+
+**Priority:** P0
+
+### 3. “Search” tools are not using current Linear search APIs
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `src\graphql\queries.ts`
+  - `SEARCH_ISSUES_QUERY` calls `issues(...)`
+  - `SEARCH_PROJECTS_QUERY` calls `projects(filter: ...)`
+- Current Linear schema exposes:
+  - `searchIssues(...)`
+  - `searchProjects(...)`
+  - `semanticSearch(...)`
+
+**Impact**
+
+- `linear_search_issues` is a filtered list, not ranked search
+- `linear_search_projects` is effectively exact-name filtering, not search
+- repo tool behavior does not match current Linear API expectations
+
+**Priority:** P0
+
+### 4. Comment reply input is inconsistent
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `src\core\types\tool.types.ts` uses `parentCommentId`
+- `src\features\comments\types\comment.types.ts` uses `parentId`
+- `src\features\comments\handlers\comment.handler.ts` checks `args.parentId`
+- Current Linear schema uses `CommentCreateInput.parentId`
+
+**Impact**
+
+Threaded replies are likely broken or at least unreliable from MCP clients using the declared tool schema.
+
+**Priority:** P0
+
+### 5. GraphQL fidelity is reduced to generic text errors
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `src\graphql\client.ts` catches errors and throws `GraphQL operation failed: ...`
+- It returns `response.data` only
+- It drops GraphQL `errors[]`, `extensions`, response headers, rate-limit headers, and complexity headers
+- `BaseHandler.handleError()` converts everything to `InternalError`
+
+**Impact**
+
+The server cannot faithfully surface:
+
+- validation failures
+- auth vs permission failures
+- rate limiting
+- partial-success GraphQL responses
+- retry guidance
+
+This is a major gap for production MCP behavior.
+
+**Priority:** P0
+
+### 6. Tool schemas are not strict JSON Schema
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `src\core\types\tool.types.ts` uses `optional: true`
+
+**Impact**
+
+That is not standard JSON Schema. Some MCP clients may ignore it, leading to weaker validation and portability issues.
+
+**Priority:** P1
+
+### 7. Write tools often return prose instead of structured results
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- many handlers build plain text summaries instead of returning structured fields
+
+**Impact**
+
+This is fine for humans, but low fidelity for agents. Modern MCP clients benefit from:
+
+- stable output shape
+- structured IDs/URLs/pageInfo/lastSyncId
+- machine-readable mutation results
+
+**Priority:** P1
+
+### 8. Documentation is stale and internally inconsistent
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `README.md` says OAuth is "***NOT IMPLEMENTED***"
+- `architecture.md` describes folders and patterns not present in the repo
+- tests still assert `actor=application`
+- current docs prefer `actor=app` and refresh-token-based OAuth as of 2026-04-01
+
+**Impact**
+
+The repo no longer accurately describes the real implementation or the current Linear platform.
+
+**Priority:** P1
+
+## Coverage gaps that matter most for high fidelity
+
+### A. Issue parity is still incomplete
+
+Current Linear `IssueCreateInput` / `IssueUpdateInput` support much more than this server exposes, including:
+
+- `dueDate`
+- `cycleId`
+- `labelIds`
+- `parentId`
+- `projectMilestoneId`
+- `subscriberIds`
+- `stateId` on create
+- `delegateId`
+- `templateId`
+- richer description/document fields
+
+The repo's issue tools currently miss much of the data agents need for planning and triage:
+
+- cycle
+- due date
+- sub-issue hierarchy
+- relations
+- subscribers/watchers
+- milestone association
+- richer search semantics
+
+### B. Labels, workflow states, and relations should be first-class
+
+For day-to-day Linear usage, a high-fidelity server needs dedicated support for:
+
+- `issueLabels` / `issueLabelCreate` / `issueLabelUpdate` / `issueLabelDelete`
+- `workflowStates`
+- `issueRelationCreate` / `issueRelationDelete`
+
+Without these, the server cannot represent common Linear workflows like:
+
+- triage labeling
+- moving work across state categories safely
+- blocking / duplicate relationships
+
+### C. Cycles are a major missing workflow primitive
+
+Cycles are central to sprint-style planning. Current Linear supports `cycle`, `cycles`, and related issue filtering, but this server has no cycle tools at all.
+
+**Recommended minimum**
+
+- `linear_get_cycle`
+- `linear_list_cycles`
+- `linear_get_current_cycle`
+- issue filtering by active cycle
+- issue create/update support for `cycleId`
+
+### D. Attachments are a high-value integration surface
+
+Linear attachments are especially valuable for integrations because they:
+
+- are idempotent on `(issueId, url)`
+- support metadata
+- support icon URLs
+- connect external systems cleanly to Linear issues
+
+This repo currently has no attachment coverage even though it is one of the most integration-friendly parts of Linear's API.
+
+### E. Project parity is shallow
+
+The repo supports:
+
+- create project with issues
+- get project
+- exact-name project lookup
+
+It does **not** support much of what current projects actually need:
+
+- standalone create/update/delete
+- list/search parity
+- project statuses
+- project labels
+- project updates
+- lead/member management
+- start/target dates and status mutation
+
+### F. The server ignores Linear's event-driven and AI-native direction
+
+Current Linear now exposes:
+
+- webhooks
+- GraphQL subscriptions
+- agent sessions and agent activities
+- an MCP-aware integration model in the schema/SDK surface
+
+A high-fidelity Linear MCP server should at least be designed with those capabilities in mind, even if not all are implemented on day one.
+
+## Recommended roadmap
+
+### P0: Correctness and platform alignment
+
+1. **Upgrade the SDK/schema baseline**
+   - repo uses `@linear/sdk ^38.0.0`
+   - current upstream package metadata is substantially newer
+   - use current schema and regenerate assumptions from that baseline
+
+2. **Fix auth architecture**
+   - separate auth state from GraphQL client construction
+   - rebuild or lazily resolve the client after OAuth callback
+   - await refresh
+   - propagate refreshed tokens to the active client wrapper
+   - validate OAuth state
+   - support current actor semantics
+
+3. **Fix input/output contract mismatches**
+   - standard JSON Schema
+   - align `parentId` naming
+   - stop relying on undocumented input shapes
+
+4. **Preserve GraphQL fidelity**
+   - carry through `errors[]`
+   - surface Linear error codes
+   - keep rate-limit and complexity headers
+   - distinguish retryable vs permanent failures
+
+5. **Split list vs search**
+   - `list_issues` / `search_issues`
+   - `list_projects` / `search_projects`
+   - use current `searchIssues` / `searchProjects` endpoints for true search
+
+### P1: Core parity for common Linear workflows
+
+1. **Issue parity**
+   - add `get_issue`
+   - support `dueDate`, `cycleId`, `labelIds`, `parentId`, `projectMilestoneId`, `subscriberIds`
+   - expose parent/children/relations
+   - include human-friendly `identifier` everywhere
+
+2. **Workflow states and labels**
+   - add first-class tools for states and labels
+
+3. **Cycles**
+   - list/get/current-cycle support
+   - cycle-aware issue create/update/search
+
+4. **Attachments**
+   - create/update/delete/query attachments
+   - consider upload flow documentation and server-side file handling guidance
+
+5. **Projects**
+   - standalone create/update/delete/list/search
+   - project statuses, labels, updates
+
+6. **Users and teams**
+   - list/search users
+   - get/list teams with pagination and filters
+
+### P2: High-fidelity and Linear-native advanced capabilities
+
+1. **Webhooks**
+   - query/create/delete
+   - signature verification guidance
+
+2. **GraphQL subscriptions**
+   - where transport and runtime make sense
+
+3. **Initiatives and customers**
+   - important for larger organizations
+
+4. **Agent APIs**
+   - agent sessions
+   - agent activities
+   - future alignment with Linear's AI workflows
+
+## Best-practice guidance for a high-fidelity Linear MCP server
+
+### 1. Prefer schema-driven generation over hand-maintained drift
+
+Use the current Linear schema as the source of truth and generate:
+
+- TypeScript types
+- tool input schemas
+- response shapes
+
+This repo is already showing schema drift in naming, field coverage, and docs.
+
+### 2. Expose both convenience params and raw filter power
+
+Good MCP ergonomics usually means:
+
+- **simple params** for common use
+- **raw `filter` object** for advanced use
+
+Recommended pattern:
+
+- `query` / `term`
+- common filters like `teamId`, `assigneeId`, `stateType`, `priority`, `labelIds`, `projectId`, `cycleId`
+- optional raw `filter`
+
+That keeps tools easy to use without hiding Linear's filter power.
+
+### 3. Return structured results, not only prose
+
+For write tools, return stable fields like:
+
+- `id`
+- `identifier`
+- `url`
+- `lastSyncId`
+- timestamps
+- related entity IDs
+
+For list/search tools, always return:
+
+- `nodes`
+- `pageInfo`
+- total/result metadata if available
+
+If your MCP SDK/runtime supports it, add:
+
+- `outputSchema`
+- `structuredContent`
+
+### 4. Preserve key Linear behaviors explicitly
+
+A high-fidelity server should consistently preserve:
+
+- `includeArchived`
+- cursor pagination in both directions
+- `orderBy`
+- stable identifiers and UUIDs
+- issue identifiers like `ENG-123` anywhere Linear accepts them
+- Linear priority encoding
+- `TimelessDate` handling for due dates
+
+### 5. Model errors as product behavior, not generic failures
+
+At minimum, carry:
+
+- Linear error code
+- message
+- retry hint
+- rate-limit metadata when present
+
+This will matter as soon as the server is used in multi-step autonomous flows.
+
+### 6. Keep “search” and “list” distinct
+
+This is one of the clearest current mismatches in the repo.
+
+- **list** = filterable collection query
+- **search** = ranked, term-based search endpoint
+
+Do not overload one into the other.
+
+### 7. Add MCP-native affordances
+
+For a polished MCP server, consider:
+
+- `title` on tools
+- annotations like read-only vs destructive hints
+- resource-style views for stable entities such as:
+  - `linear://issue/{identifier}`
+  - `linear://project/{id}`
+  - `linear://team/{key}`
+
+## Suggested target tool set
+
+If the goal is “high fidelity without trying to expose all of Linear at once,” this is a strong near-term target:
+
+### Read
+
+- `linear_get_viewer`
+- `linear_get_issue`
+- `linear_list_issues`
+- `linear_search_issues`
+- `linear_get_project`
+- `linear_list_projects`
+- `linear_search_projects`
+- `linear_get_team`
+- `linear_list_teams`
+- `linear_list_workflow_states`
+- `linear_list_labels`
+- `linear_get_cycle`
+- `linear_list_cycles`
+- `linear_get_current_cycle`
+- `linear_get_issue_comments`
+- `linear_list_project_milestones`
+
+### Write
+
+- `linear_create_issue`
+- `linear_update_issue`
+- `linear_batch_create_issues`
+- `linear_batch_update_issues`
+- `linear_delete_issue`
+- `linear_create_comment`
+- `linear_update_comment`
+- `linear_delete_comment`
+- `linear_create_attachment`
+- `linear_update_attachment`
+- `linear_delete_attachment`
+- `linear_create_issue_relation`
+- `linear_delete_issue_relation`
+- `linear_create_label`
+- `linear_update_label`
+- `linear_delete_label`
+- `linear_create_project`
+- `linear_update_project`
+- `linear_delete_project`
+- `linear_create_project_update`
+- `linear_update_project_update`
+
+## Bottom line
+
+This repo is a **solid prototype**, especially around basic issues and milestones, but it is **not yet a high-fidelity Linear MCP server**.
+
+The biggest problems are not just missing breadth; they are also **contract and behavior mismatches** in the existing implementation:
+
+- auth lifecycle
+- refresh handling
+- search semantics
+- comment threading params
+- error fidelity
+- structured outputs
+
+If those P0 issues are fixed first, the server becomes a credible base for expanding into the missing Linear primitives that matter most: labels, workflow states, relations, cycles, attachments, project updates, and eventually webhooks and agent APIs.

+## Context
+
+The current comment surface is intentionally small: the server can fetch comments for a specific issue and create a comment or reply, but it does not expose direct comment lookup, workspace comment listing, or the rest of Linear's comment lifecycle mutations. The existing issue-thread query also hard-codes ordering, omits filter support, and formats responses with a bespoke projection that is useful for summaries but not broad enough for general MCP automation.
+
+The public Linear schema and SDK support a wider comment model: direct comment reads, top-level comment collections, issue-scoped comment collections, child-comment traversal, and lifecycle mutations for update, delete, resolve, and unresolve. This design brings the server closer to that public surface while staying aligned with the repository's structured-response conventions and the in-flight platform-fidelity work.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add first-class comment read tools for direct comment lookup and paginated comment collections.
+- Expand issue comment reads to support Linear-style pagination, ordering, archived inclusion, and filtering.
+- Add comment lifecycle tools for update, delete, resolve, and unresolve operations.
+- Standardize structured comment payloads so read and write tools expose stable identifiers, thread metadata, association metadata, and status fields.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Add webhook or subscription runtime support for comment changes; that belongs to the advanced integrations change.
+- Expose every internal comment field from the public schema if it does not improve MCP workflows.
+- Rework unrelated issue, project, or auth surfaces beyond the comment-specific integration points touched by this change.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Keep the existing issue comment entry point and add complementary comment tools
+
+`linear_get_issue_comments` and `linear_create_comment` already exist in the source tree, so this change should extend that surface rather than replace it. The server should add direct and collection-oriented tools such as `linear_get_comment`, `linear_list_comments`, `linear_update_comment`, `linear_delete_comment`, `linear_resolve_comment`, and `linear_unresolve_comment` so clients can work with comments as first-class entities without overloading issue reads.
+
+This keeps the tool catalog additive and discoverable. Existing issue-thread callers continue to work, while new comment-centric automations can use dedicated tools with clearer semantics.
+
+### 2. Introduce a shared comment projection instead of bespoke handler formatting
+
+The current issue comment handler shapes response data inline and truncates parts of the thread for readability. That is fine for a narrow display-oriented tool, but it becomes hard to extend once comment reads and writes must return consistent fields across multiple tools.
+
+The implementation should introduce a shared comment-mapping layer in the comment feature or GraphQL client boundary. All comment tools should compose that shared projection so identifiers, timestamps, author data, parent linkage, resolution metadata, URL, and association identifiers stay consistent across reads and writes.
+
+### 3. Use Markdown `body` as the primary public content contract
+
+Linear's public docs treat Markdown body content as the portable contract for comments, while `bodyData` is exposed in the schema as an internal ProseMirror representation. The server should therefore make `body` the primary documented field for read and write workflows, while still allowing optional `bodyData` pass-through for advanced callers when the underlying API supports it.
+
+This keeps the public MCP contract understandable and stable without blocking richer editor-aware integrations later.
+
+### 4. Preserve Linear collection semantics instead of inventing comment-specific pagination behavior
+
+Comment collections should follow the same control surface Linear already uses: `first`, `after`, `last`, `before`, `filter`, `includeArchived`, and `orderBy`. The issue-thread read tool should be expanded to accept those arguments, and the new top-level comment list tool should expose the same semantics.
+
+Using the native collection contract avoids surprising edge cases and makes it easier for MCP clients to reason about archived comments, filtered comment sets, and continuation cursors.
+
+### 5. Keep deep thread traversal explicit
+
+Issue-level comment tools should return the current page of comments with stable thread metadata, but they should not hide arbitrary child-comment truncation behind a display-oriented formatter. Deeper traversal should be explicit through direct comment reads with child pagination or through filtered collection reads keyed by parent comment context.
+
+This reduces ambiguity about whether reply sets are complete and avoids silently dropping thread detail behind a fixed `children(first: 10)` preview.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Broader tool surface:** Adding multiple comment tools increases discovery surface. → **Mitigation:** keep names consistent with the rest of the server and group them under the comment domain.
+- **Payload growth:** Richer comment metadata can make read responses larger. → **Mitigation:** keep list payloads structured but focused, and reserve deeper thread traversal for direct comment reads.
+- **`bodyData` ambiguity:** The public schema exposes `bodyData`, but it is not the best default contract for most clients. → **Mitigation:** document `body` as primary and treat `bodyData` as optional advanced input or output.
+- **Filter-schema breadth:** Linear comment filters are broad and can be difficult to model exhaustively in strict MCP schemas. → **Mitigation:** use the repository's existing typed loose-object pattern for advanced filter pass-through where appropriate, with docs and tests around supported shapes.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add shared GraphQL queries and mutations for direct comment reads, top-level comment listing, update, delete, resolve, and unresolve.
+2. Extend comment feature types, handlers, and tool schemas to expose the new tool surface and collection arguments.
+3. Refactor issue-thread comment loading to use the shared comment projection and native collection arguments instead of bespoke formatting-only logic.
+4. Add unit and contract tests for the new read and write tools, including pagination and thread-state cases.
+5. Update README and related documentation so the advertised MCP surface matches the implemented comment capabilities.
+
+## Open Questions

+## Why
+
+The current MCP server only exposes a narrow slice of Linear's comment surface. Clients can fetch issue-scoped comments and create a comment, but they cannot load a single comment directly, enumerate comments with the platform's filter and pagination semantics, or manage comment lifecycle operations such as update, delete, resolve, and unresolve.
+
+That gap makes comment-centric workflows brittle and prevents MCP clients from matching the public Linear API for loading and managing comment threads. Closing it now also reduces ambiguity around comment body fields, thread metadata, and archived-comment behavior before more advanced integration work lands.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add first-class comment read tools for direct comment lookup, workspace comment listing, and richer issue-thread retrieval.
+- Expand comment read contracts to support Linear-style pagination, filtering, archived inclusion, ordering, and structured thread metadata.
+- Add first-class comment lifecycle tools for update, delete, resolve, and unresolve operations in addition to create.
+- Standardize comment payloads around Markdown body content, parent and child thread context, resolved state, association metadata, and pagination metadata.
+- Add tests and documentation for the new comment tool surface and its expected behavior.
+
+## Capabilities

+The server SHALL expose first-class tools for updating, deleting, resolving, and unresolving comments.
+
+#### Scenario: Update comment body
+- **WHEN** a client updates a comment with supported body fields
+- **THEN** the server SHALL apply the change through Linear and SHALL return the updated comment in a structured mutation payload
+

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Direct comment reads support first-class lookup

+
+#### Scenario: Get comment returns structured comment detail

+The server SHALL provide an issue comment thread read tool that accepts Linear-style collection controls and returns issue comments with pagination metadata.
+
+#### Scenario: Issue comment thread read supports paging and archive controls
+- **WHEN** a client requests comments for an issue with pagination arguments, archived inclusion, or ordering controls
+- **THEN** the server SHALL query the issue comment collection with those controls and SHALL return the matching comment nodes together with page information
+
+#### Scenario: Issue comment thread read supports comment filters
+- **WHEN** a client requests issue comments with supported comment filter criteria
+- **THEN** the server SHALL apply those filters to the underlying Linear comment collection and SHALL return only the matching comments
+
+### Requirement: Comment collections are available outside a single issue context
+The server SHALL provide a top-level comment collection tool so clients can enumerate comments with the same filter and pagination semantics that Linear exposes for the workspace-wide comment connection.
+
+#### Scenario: List comments returns filtered paginated results
+- **WHEN** a client requests a top-level comment collection with filter, pagination, archived inclusion, or ordering arguments
+- **THEN** the server SHALL return a structured comment collection payload with matching comments and page information

+## Context
+
+The current issue surface covers create, batch create, batch update, filtered search, and delete, but it does not provide a detailed issue read or many of the planning fields supported by modern Linear issue mutations. Labels and workflow states are only exposed indirectly through team reads, issue relations are not first-class, and cycles are missing entirely.
+
+This proposal assumes the platform-fidelity work lands first so schema contracts, search semantics, and structured outputs are already stable.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add a canonical detailed issue read tool for inspection before mutation.
+- Extend issue read and write models with the planning and hierarchy fields agents need for triage and sprint workflows.
+- Add explicit workflow state, label, relation, and cycle tools instead of relying on indirect or overloaded responses.
+- Keep issue results identifier-rich and structured for machine consumption.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Add attachment, standalone project lifecycle, project updates, or advanced integration features.
+- Rework OAuth or GraphQL fidelity concerns that belong to the platform-fidelity change.
+- Implement every possible issue-adjacent entity in Linear if it is not required for the review's recommended parity set.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Add `linear_get_issue` as the canonical issue inspection tool
+
+Search results are not a good substitute for detailed inspection because they do not consistently expose hierarchy, relations, milestone associations, or planning context. A dedicated issue read tool should return the detailed issue model that other automations can depend on before deciding what to mutate.
+
+### 2. Extend issue inputs from the current Linear schema instead of ad hoc local fields
+
+The issue create and update contracts should be expanded from the current Linear schema surface rather than by adding custom local arguments case by case. That keeps the code aligned with the SDK baseline refreshed in the platform change and reduces future drift.
+
+### 3. Treat workflow states, labels, relations, and cycles as explicit feature surfaces
+
+These concepts drive real Linear workflows and should not be hidden inside team payloads or overloaded issue fields. The implementation can use new or expanded feature modules, but the MCP surface should make these concepts discoverable as dedicated tools.
+
+### 4. Keep hierarchy and relations distinct
+
+Parent and child issue hierarchy is not the same as broader issue relations such as blocked-by or duplicate. The read model should expose both, and relation mutations should use dedicated tools instead of trying to encode them through parent-child behavior.
+
+### 5. Make cycles part of both read tools and issue operations
+
+Cycle support is only useful if clients can both inspect cycles and use them in issue filtering and mutation flows. The cycle tools should therefore ship together with cycle-aware issue support.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Larger issue payloads:** Detailed issue reads can become verbose. Mitigation: keep the full detail in `linear_get_issue` and keep list or search results more focused.
+- **Tool surface growth:** Labels, states, relations, and cycles add several tools. Mitigation: keep naming consistent and group them by clear domain concepts.
+- **Schema breadth:** The Linear issue schema is broad and can keep evolving. Mitigation: scope this change to the review's recommended planning and triage fields.
+- **Cross-module reuse:** Teams, issues, and new cycle logic may share fragments or filters. Mitigation: centralize shared GraphQL fragments and typed connection helpers.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add the detailed issue read tool and expand issue type models.
+2. Extend issue create, update, list, and search inputs and outputs.
+3. Add workflow state and label tools.
+4. Add relation tools and relation projection on issue reads.
+5. Add cycle tools and cycle-aware issue operations.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should richer description support use markdown strings only, or should it expose document-content fields when Linear supports them?
+- Should workflow state listing be team-scoped only, or support a broader discovery mode with optional team filters?
+- How much relation detail belongs in list and search results versus the dedicated issue detail tool?

+## Why
+
+After the platform-fidelity fixes, the most important remaining gaps are in the issue workflow itself. The current server cannot model several core Linear planning and triage primitives, which limits day-to-day use for agents and teams.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add a first-class `linear_get_issue` tool and expand issue read models with identifiers, hierarchy, relations, cycle, milestone, subscriber, and label data.
+- Expand issue create, update, list, and search contracts to cover the planning fields called out in the review, including `dueDate`, `cycleId`, `labelIds`, `parentId`, `projectMilestoneId`, `subscriberIds`, `stateId`, `delegateId`, and `templateId`.
+- Add first-class workflow state and label tools instead of exposing that information only through broader team responses.
+- Add dedicated issue relation create and delete tools and expose relation data in issue reads.
+- Add cycle read tools and cycle-aware issue filtering and mutation support.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `issue-detail-and-mutation-parity`: Bring issue reads and writes closer to the current Linear issue surface used for planning and triage.
+- `workflow-state-and-label-management`: Expose workflow states and labels as first-class tools for state transitions and triage labeling.
+- `issue-relation-management`: Support issue relation reads and relation mutation workflows.
+- `cycle-management`: Expose cycle reads and cycle-aware issue operations for sprint planning.

+### Modified Capabilities
+- None.

+## Context
+
+The current repository is a stdio MCP server with no event-driven or streaming feature surface. The review recommends moving toward webhooks, subscriptions, initiatives, customers, and agent APIs, but those capabilities require runtime-aware design and stronger security guidance than the current repo provides.
+
+This proposal is intentionally sequenced after the platform, issue, and project parity changes so advanced integrations can build on a stable auth, tool-contract, and GraphQL foundation.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add a clear design and spec surface for advanced Linear integrations that fits the current repository architecture.
+- Expose advanced capabilities only when the active runtime and transport can support them safely.
+- Make auth, security, and capability limitations explicit for operators and MCP clients.
+- Keep advanced tool outputs structured and consistent with the rest of the roadmap.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Force subscription or inbound webhook delivery behavior into runtimes that cannot support it.
+- Build external hosting infrastructure inside this repository.
+- Expand unrelated issue, project, or attachment features that belong to earlier proposals.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Gate advanced capabilities on runtime support
+
+Webhook management, subscriptions, and agent workflows do not all map cleanly to a pure stdio runtime. The server should explicitly gate advanced capabilities based on transport and runtime support instead of advertising a feature that cannot actually function in the current environment.
+
+### 2. Separate webhook management from webhook delivery hosting
+
+The MCP server can manage webhook registrations through Linear's API without pretending it is also the public webhook receiver. This change should expose management tools and verification guidance while documenting the boundary between registration and externally hosted delivery endpoints.
+
+### 3. Treat subscriptions as an optional streaming capability
+
+Subscriptions should only be exposed when the runtime can sustain the streaming or long-lived semantics they need. Unsupported runtimes should return a clear capability limitation rather than a generic error or a hanging operation.
+
+### 4. Group initiatives and customers as portfolio entities
+
+Initiatives and customers both extend the server from issue-level workflows into higher-level portfolio planning. Grouping them under a portfolio entity capability gives them a shared discovery and lifecycle pattern without tying them to project CRUD.
+
+### 5. Expose agent sessions and activities as dedicated structured tools
+
+Agent APIs are a distinct product surface and should be represented with dedicated tools and structured outputs. They should not be hidden behind generic GraphQL passthrough behavior because clients need clear auth expectations and stable result shapes.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Runtime mismatch:** Some advanced features may not work in the current stdio server shape. Mitigation: capability gating and explicit unsupported-runtime responses.
+- **Security complexity:** Webhooks and agent workflows add signature, secret, and callback concerns. Mitigation: include operator guidance and explicit auth requirements in the surfaced contract.
+- **Upstream API movement:** Agent and AI-adjacent APIs may evolve quickly. Mitigation: scope the initial surface to the stable endpoints and structured contracts available at implementation time.
+- **Testing cost:** Streaming and event-driven features are harder to test than request-response tools. Mitigation: isolate runtime gating, mock transport constraints, and keep the first pass incremental.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add capability-gating infrastructure and operator-facing documentation.
+2. Add webhook management tools and verification guidance.
+3. Add initiatives and customers support with shared portfolio patterns.
+4. Add agent session and activity tools.
+5. Add subscription support only in runtimes that satisfy the streaming requirements.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should capability-gated tools be omitted entirely from the tool list, or listed with a clear unsupported-runtime behavior?
+- Which webhook verification helpers belong in code versus documentation?
+- Which agent endpoints are stable enough to expose in the first iteration?

+## Why
+
+The review highlights that Linear is moving toward event-driven and AI-native workflows through webhooks, subscriptions, portfolio entities, and agent APIs. The server needs a forward-looking change that defines how to expose those capabilities without assuming runtime behavior the current stdio implementation cannot guarantee.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add first-class webhook management tools and define the signature-verification guidance that operators need to use them safely.
+- Add a runtime-aware subscription surface that only enables streaming behavior when the active transport can support it.
+- Add initiatives and customers support for larger portfolio and customer-facing workflows.
+- Add agent session and agent activity tools aligned with Linear's AI workflow direction.
+- Establish capability gating, auth expectations, and documentation for advanced integrations so the surface is explicit instead of implicit.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `webhook-management`: Manage Linear webhooks and make verification expectations explicit.
+- `subscription-runtime-support`: Expose subscription workflows only when the active runtime can support them safely.
+- `portfolio-entity-support`: Add initiatives and customers as first-class portfolio entities.
+- `agent-api-alignment`: Add agent session and activity tools aligned with Linear's AI-oriented APIs.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+- None.
+
+## Impact
+
+- new advanced feature modules under `src\features\`
+- possible transport and capability-gating logic in `src\index.ts` and handler initialization
+- webhook, subscription, initiative, customer, and agent GraphQL operations
+- security, runtime, and operator documentation
+- tests that cover capability gating and structured advanced-tool outputs

+## Context
+
+The current repository can create a project together with issues, fetch a single project, and search projects narrowly by name. It does not expose attachment operations, project updates, or discovery-grade user and team tools beyond the current viewer and broad team read.
+
+This change assumes the platform-fidelity proposal has already normalized list and search semantics so collection tools can build on a stable contract.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add dedicated attachment tools that are usable for external-system integrations.
+- Add richer standalone project lifecycle support, including planning metadata that current project work needs.
+- Add first-class project update tooling.
+- Add user and team discovery tools with structured pagination and filters.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Revisit issue labels, workflow states, relations, or cycles, which belong to the issue-workflow change.
+- Implement webhook, subscription, or agent APIs.
+- Turn the MCP server into a file-upload host beyond the attachment patterns explicitly supported by Linear.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Model attachments as a dedicated feature surface
+
+Attachments have their own lifecycle and are especially valuable for integrations because they connect external URLs and metadata to issues. They should be implemented as their own tool surface instead of being hidden inside the issue handler.
+
+### 2. Separate project lifecycle from project updates
+
+Project updates are narrative collaboration artifacts, not just another field on a project mutation. Splitting them into their own capability keeps the MCP surface clearer and lets update workflows evolve without overloading project CRUD logic.
+
+### 3. Enrich project representations across read tools instead of creating a second project model
+
+The project handlers should use a richer shared project shape that includes the planning fields called out in the review, such as statuses, labels, lead or member context, and schedule fields. That shared shape can then power get, list, and search responses consistently.
+
+### 4. Treat user and team discovery as first-class collection tools
+
+Automations need to look up assignees, team keys, and related workspace data. User and team discovery should therefore expose explicit get, list, and search semantics with structured pagination rather than relying on the current viewer-only or broad team response.
+
+### 5. Keep convenience project flows layered on top of primitives
+
+`linear_create_project_with_issues` remains useful, but it should become a convenience wrapper over the richer standalone project and issue primitives rather than the only practical way to create projects.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Broader tool surface:** More project, attachment, user, and team tools increase the MCP surface area. Mitigation: keep naming consistent and reuse connection patterns.
+- **Attachment ambiguity:** Some workflows may expect direct upload handling. Mitigation: document whether the server supports URL-backed attachments only or a broader upload flow.
+- **Project payload size:** Richer project representations can grow quickly. Mitigation: keep structured summaries concise and reserve deeper detail for get-oriented tools.
+- **Workspace variance:** Teams and users can be large in enterprise Linear workspaces. Mitigation: require pagination and filters on list or search endpoints.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add attachment queries and mutations with structured responses.
+2. Expand standalone project lifecycle operations and shared project read shapes.
+3. Add project update tools.
+4. Add user and team discovery tools with pagination and filters.
+5. Rebase existing convenience project flows on top of the richer primitives where appropriate.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the server support attachment upload mediation, or document URL-backed attachment flows only?
+- Which project member or lead fields are most important to include in the initial shared project representation?
+- Should team discovery continue to include inline workflow states and labels, or leave those to dedicated tools from the issue-workflow change?

+## Why
+
+Once issue workflows are covered, the next gaps are the collaboration surfaces around them: attachments, richer project operations, project updates, and user or team discovery. Those capabilities are essential for integrations, portfolio planning, and multi-team automation.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add first-class attachment tools for create, update, delete, and query flows, including the metadata fields that make attachments useful for integrations.
+- Expand project support from the current narrow surface to a fuller lifecycle that covers standalone mutations and richer project representations for planning.
+- Add first-class project update tools instead of limiting project collaboration to project creation and lookup.
+- Add user list and search support and expand team tools with get and list behavior, pagination, and filters.
+- Keep collection responses structured and paginated so larger workspaces remain automatable.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `attachment-management`: Manage issue attachments as first-class integration objects.
+- `project-lifecycle-management`: Support standalone project lifecycle operations and richer project planning data.
+- `project-update-management`: Manage project updates as a dedicated collaboration surface.
+- `user-and-team-discovery`: Support user and team lookup, listing, and search workflows needed by automations.
+

+## Context
+
+The repository has already moved toward richer issue data, but issue #17 shows that hierarchy support was still not visible to clients in a reliable way. Parent and child issues are a core planning concept and should be represented as an explicit contract rather than as an undocumented field or README claim.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make parent assignment visible in the released issue mutation contract.
+- Make hierarchy inspection visible in the canonical issue read contract.
+- Keep parent and child hierarchy distinct from broader issue-relation features.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Replace or overload generic issue relations such as blocked-by or duplicate.
+- Add unrelated cycle, label, or project feature breadth.
+- Hide hierarchy support behind implementation-only fields.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Put hierarchy inputs on the issue mutation contract directly
+
+Clients should be able to see parent-assignment support on the create and update path they already use. That is more discoverable than requiring a separate relation tool or undocumented argument.
+
+### 2. Use issue detail as the canonical hierarchy read
+
+Hierarchy is most useful when clients can inspect both parent and child references on demand. The detailed issue read should therefore carry the authoritative parent and child view, with lighter read surfaces staying focused.
+
+### 3. Keep hierarchy and relations distinct
+
+Parent-child hierarchy is not the same as general issue relations. The implementation and docs should keep those concepts separate so clients do not confuse nesting with relation graphs.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Payload growth:** Child references add more data to issue reads. -> **Mitigation:** keep hierarchy detail primarily on the issue-detail tool.
+- **Surface overlap:** Hierarchy and relations can look similar in docs. -> **Mitigation:** document the distinction explicitly with examples.
+- **Discoverability drift:** Source support without released docs can recreate the same confusion. -> **Mitigation:** update schemas, examples, and tests together.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Make parent input visible on the released issue mutation path.
+2. Return parent and child references from issue-detail reads.
+3. Add regression tests for create, update, and read hierarchy workflows.
+4. Refresh README examples to show parent and child issue usage.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should list or search results include lightweight parent information, or should hierarchy stay detail-only at first?
+- Do clients need an explicit example for reparenting an existing issue in the README?

+## Context
+
+The repository already supports project assignment during issue creation, but issue #19 shows that the update path is still confusing or unreliable for existing issues. The current surface also centers updates around batch semantics, which makes the single-issue project-assignment workflow less obvious than it should be.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make project assignment on existing issues a supported, testable update workflow.
+- Clarify the single-issue update path clients should use.
+- Define explicit behavior for setting, changing, and clearing project association.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Rework unrelated issue fields or project lifecycle operations.
+- Force clients to use undocumented side effects to clear project assignment.
+- Replace batch update support for multi-issue workflows.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Treat project assignment as a first-class issue mutation
+
+Existing issues should be able to join or leave projects through the same issue-update surface that handles other planning changes. Clients should not need a project-specific workaround to move an issue into a project.
+
+### 2. Keep single-issue ergonomics explicit
+
+Whether the implementation uses the current batch update tool with one issue id or introduces a dedicated alias, the released surface should make the single-issue project-assignment path obvious in schemas and docs.
+
+### 3. Separate clear semantics from omission
+
+The update contract should distinguish between leaving the current project unchanged and intentionally clearing the current project. That behavior must be explicit so client calls are predictable.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Contract choice:** Adding a single-issue alias improves clarity but expands the tool surface. -> **Mitigation:** preserve the batch path and document the preferred single-issue flow.
+- **Clear behavior:** Removing a project link may require a different input shape from setting one. -> **Mitigation:** decide and document a single supported clear-project contract.
+- **Regression overlap:** Issue-update changes can affect other planning fields. -> **Mitigation:** keep regression tests focused on project-assignment behavior and existing update coverage.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Confirm the supported single-issue update path for project assignment.
+2. Implement explicit set, change, and clear behavior for `projectId`.
+3. Add regression tests for existing-issue project movement.
+4. Update docs and examples for the supported issue-update workflow.
+
+## Open Questions
+

+## Context
+
+The current server entrypoint only starts `StdioServerTransport`, but users are still trying to connect to a remote `/sse` endpoint. That mismatch creates timeouts and confusion about whether the project is stdio-only, Cline-only, or generally usable with other MCP clients.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make the supported transport modes explicit and machine-discernible.
+- Support a documented remote streaming deployment path or fail fast when only stdio is available.
+- Keep capability advertisement consistent with the active transport.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Build arbitrary hosting infrastructure inside the repository.
+- Add unrelated feature breadth beyond transport interoperability.
+- Pretend that stdio deployments expose a remote endpoint when they do not.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Choose transport mode explicitly at startup
+
+The server should start in an explicit transport mode rather than implying that stream-capable runtime flags automatically create a remote endpoint. That keeps startup behavior aligned with the actual transport implementation.
+
+### 2. Keep stdio as the default and remote stream as opt-in
+
+Local stdio execution is still the safest default for current usage, but remote clients need a supported path when stream mode is intentionally enabled. Making remote transport opt-in avoids accidental exposure while still enabling interoperability.
+
+### 3. Reflect transport truth in capabilities and docs
+
+The runtime capability surface, startup messaging, and docs should all agree on whether remote streaming is supported. A client should never infer `/sse` support from a capability flag that does not correspond to an active server transport.
+
+### 4. Fail fast on unsupported remote assumptions
+
+If the server is running in stdio-only mode, the docs and runtime behavior should make that obvious immediately rather than letting clients hang on a guessed endpoint.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Additional server complexity:** Remote transport introduces more startup and test paths. -> **Mitigation:** keep the transport abstraction narrow and default to stdio.
+- **Security exposure:** Remote endpoints can be exposed accidentally. -> **Mitigation:** require explicit configuration and document deployment expectations.
+- **Interop variance:** Different MCP clients may expect different stream flavors. -> **Mitigation:** target one documented MCP-compatible remote transport and test it directly.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Introduce explicit transport selection at startup.
+2. Add the supported remote stream implementation or explicit stdio-only guardrails.
+3. Align capability advertisement with the active transport.
+4. Update docs with remote-client setup and stdio-only guidance.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Which MCP remote transport should be the first supported network mode for this repository?
+- Should remote transport live in the main entrypoint or in a separate bootstrap command?

+## Why

+## Context
+
+The source tree already contains initiative CRUD handlers, but issue #23 asks for a fuller workflow that is useful in practice and contribution-ready. The most obvious remaining gap is project association: the current portfolio and project surfaces do not expose an initiative link that teams can manage through the MCP server.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Let project workflows set, change, and clear initiative associations.
+- Return enough initiative and project metadata for clients to inspect the link after mutation.
+- Document and test the initiative surface so users can rely on what is actually shipped.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Expand unrelated customer or agent capabilities.
+- Rebuild project lifecycle logic that is not affected by initiative association.
+- Depend on informal contribution guidance outside the repository docs.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Keep initiative CRUD in the portfolio domain and association in project flows
+
+Initiatives are portfolio entities, but the association is exercised through project creation and update flows. The implementation should therefore keep initiative lifecycle handlers in `features\portfolio` while extending project inputs and mapping for the association itself.
+
+### 2. Return linked initiative metadata in project-oriented reads
+
+A project mutation that sets or clears an initiative should return the resulting initiative linkage in the structured project payload. That makes the workflow inspectable without forcing a second round-trip for every mutation.
+
+### 3. Treat documentation and tests as part of the capability
+
+This issue exists partly because users need confidence about what is supported and worth upstreaming. The initiative capability should therefore include contract tests and released documentation instead of leaving that work as optional cleanup.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Cross-domain touch points:** Portfolio and project handlers both need updates. -> **Mitigation:** keep the association field mapping small and shared.
+- **Linear model variance:** Initiative linkage may have workspace-specific limits. -> **Mitigation:** scope the first pass to the supported project association shape available in the SDK or GraphQL schema.
+- **Surface drift:** Source support without released docs can recreate the same issue later. -> **Mitigation:** tie tests and docs to the shipped catalog.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Extend project inputs and project mapping with initiative association support.
+2. Reuse existing initiative handlers for linked reads where needed.
+3. Add tests for association set, change, and clear workflows.
+4. Update README and contribution-facing docs to describe the released initiative support.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should list-project responses always include linked initiative summary data, or only project-detail and mutation responses?
+- Is project-association support sufficient for the first pass, or are initiative-specific search filters also needed immediately?

+## Context
+
+The current OAuth helper still carries parameters that do not match Linear's supported authorization flow, and the single-use state requirement is not obvious to callers. Because OAuth is already sensitive to redirect, token, and state mismatches, the contract needs to be precise and well documented.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Generate authorization URLs that use only supported Linear OAuth parameters.
+- Keep callback-state validation strict and single-use.
+- Make the auth tool outputs and docs clear enough that clients do not reuse stale links accidentally.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Introduce persistent credential storage or long-lived session recovery.
+- Add browser hosting or redirect infrastructure inside this repository.
+- Change the API-key auth path.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Restrict the authorization URL to documented Linear parameters
+
+The authorization URL should include only the parameters Linear expects for app-based OAuth. Unsupported scope fragments and offline-only parameters should be removed rather than left in place as harmless-looking extras.
+
+### 2. Keep state validation strict and single-use
+
+The issued OAuth state should remain bound to a single pending authorization request and be cleared after successful exchange. Reuse and mismatch should continue to fail, but the error and docs should make that behavior explicit.
+
+### 3. Surface callback requirements directly in the auth workflow
+
+The `linear_auth` response and documentation should tell clients that both `code` and the freshly issued `state` must be supplied to `linear_auth_callback`. That reduces confusion when a caller copies an old URL or omits the state value.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Client expectation changes:** Some callers may have built around the old URL shape. -> **Mitigation:** document the corrected contract clearly and keep the tool names stable.
+- **State lifecycle strictness:** One-time state makes retries more explicit but less forgiving. -> **Mitigation:** make the retry path obvious by issuing a fresh authorization URL.
+- **OAuth surface complexity:** The flow remains sensitive to redirect and credential setup. -> **Mitigation:** separate configuration guidance from runtime error reporting.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Correct the OAuth URL parameter set.
+2. Keep callback validation strict while clarifying the state lifecycle.
+3. Add tests for URL generation and reused-state rejection.
+4. Refresh README and auth guidance with the corrected flow.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the auth response include a short reminder that the authorization URL is single-use?
+- Do any existing helper scripts need output changes to surface the returned state more clearly?

+## Context
+
+The failure in issue #30 is a contract bug: the MCP tool accepts a free-text query but the backend path behaves like a filtered listing and triggers a GraphQL validation error. Search needs its own verified execution path and regression tests so the contract stops drifting.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make `linear_search_issues` succeed when a client provides `query`.
+- Keep text search semantics distinct from filtered list semantics.
+- Return structured results with pagination metadata that remain stable for callers.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Expand unrelated issue fields or add new issue-management domains.
+- Hide search failures behind fallback list behavior.
+- Rework project search or auth behavior in this change.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use a true query-aware search backend
+
+The handler should call a search-specific SDK or GraphQL path that accepts the free-text query explicitly. Query-backed search should not be emulated by inventing unsupported fields on `IssueFilter`.
+
+### 2. Keep search and list as separate contracts
+
+`linear_list_issues` should remain the filter-and-pagination entry point, while `linear_search_issues` should remain the free-text search entry point. Keeping them separate preserves predictable semantics and aligns with the user-visible tool names.
+
+### 3. Regression-test the exact failure mode
+
+The implementation should add tests that exercise a non-empty `query`, optional filters, and pagination so the invalid `IssueFilter.search` pattern cannot silently return.
+

+## Why
+
+GitHub issue #30 shows that `linear_search_issues` accepts a `query` argument but fails at runtime with a GraphQL error instead of returning results. The search contract needs to be repaired so the MCP surface matches the behavior it advertises.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Route `linear_search_issues` through a query-aware Linear search path instead of an invalid filter-only path.
+- Keep filtered listing semantics separate from text search semantics so `linear_list_issues` and `linear_search_issues` are not interchangeable.
+- Add regression coverage for query-only and query-plus-filter searches and document the expected result shape.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `query-backed-issue-search`: Support issue search requests that accept `query` and execute a valid search backend path.

+### Modified Capabilities
+- None.
+
+## Impact

+- any shared GraphQL or SDK search helpers used by issue search
+- MCP tool-schema documentation for `linear_search_issues`

+## Context
+
+The current repository includes comment handlers and richer issue-update inputs in source, but issue #31 shows that at least one client distribution still exposed an older tool surface. The real compatibility boundary is therefore the built artifact clients install, not the TypeScript sources alone.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make the advertised tool catalog deterministic and testable from the built server artifact.
+- Ensure shipped clients can discover the supported comment workflows and issue-update path.
+- Keep docs and release artifacts synchronized when the tool surface changes.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Add unrelated new domains or redesign the full release process.
+- Depend on manual spot checks to detect stale published surfaces.
+- Solve marketplace packaging concerns that belong to the marketplace-installation change.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Validate tool advertisement from the built server boundary
+
+The change should verify the `ListTools` response produced by the built executable or packaged artifact, not only exported schema objects in source. That is the surface clients actually consume, so release validation must happen there.
+
+### 2. Treat tool availability as versioned compatibility
+
+When new tools become available, the README and release notes should describe the minimum released version that contains them. This avoids a repo-versus-package split where users see capabilities in GitHub before they are actually installable.
+
+### 3. Make the supported issue-update path explicit
+
+Clients should not need to infer single-issue mutation support from a source fragment. The released catalog and docs should clearly identify the supported issue-update path for one existing issue, whether that remains `linear_bulk_update_issues` or is complemented by a dedicated alias.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Broader release checks:** Build verification adds CI and release work. -> **Mitigation:** keep the check lightweight and focused on the MCP `ListTools` contract.
+- **Compatibility choices:** Clarifying the issue-update path may require aliasing or renaming. -> **Mitigation:** preserve backward compatibility where possible and document the preferred path.
+- **Distribution lag:** Some channels may publish more slowly than GitHub changes land. -> **Mitigation:** tie released documentation to shipped versions rather than main-branch assumptions.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add a tool-catalog smoke test against the built server boundary.
+2. Align the shipped catalog with the supported comment and issue-update workflows.
+3. Update docs and release notes to state when the expanded surface is available.
+4. Publish and verify the updated distribution channels.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the explicit single-issue update path be a dedicated tool name or a documented alias of the batch update flow?
+- Which distribution channels need automated catalog verification first?

+## Why
+
+GitHub issue #31 reports that MCP clients cannot see comment tools or a practical issue-update path even though the repository source and README advertise those workflows. The project needs a release-safe contract that keeps the published tool catalog, built artifact, and documentation aligned.

+
+- Define the advertised MCP tool catalog as a tested compatibility contract for built and published artifacts.

+## Context
+
+The repository builds and runs locally, but the current package metadata and install story are thin for marketplace distribution. If the packaged artifact is missing executable wiring, build outputs, or clear startup errors, users see a generic marketplace failure instead of an actionable message.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make the packaged server installable and bootable from marketplace distribution.
+- Verify the packaged artifact can start and answer the MCP tool-list handshake after a fresh install.
+- Distinguish packaging failures from normal auth or environment setup errors.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Redesign the full release infrastructure beyond what marketplace compatibility needs.
+- Embed secrets or default credentials in the package.
+- Replace runtime auth validation with install-time assumptions.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Treat the published package as the artifact under test
+
+Marketplace users consume the packaged artifact, not the local repository checkout. Compatibility checks should therefore run against the built package shape that is actually published.
+
+### 2. Ship explicit executable metadata and required build assets
+
+The package should declare the executable entrypoint and include every asset required to start the server after installation. Marketplace installation should not depend on a post-install build step or an implicit local repository layout.
+
+### 3. Separate install failures from setup guidance
+
+A package that starts successfully but lacks `LINEAR_API_KEY` or OAuth input should return a clear setup error, not a generic crash that looks like an installation failure. Clear diagnostics reduce false marketplace bug reports and speed up operator setup.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Packaging drift:** Local builds may keep working while published packages regress. -> **Mitigation:** add fresh-install smoke tests against the packaged artifact.
+- **Bigger release surface:** Packaging metadata changes can affect existing install flows. -> **Mitigation:** keep entrypoint changes backward compatible where possible.
+- **Diagnostic noise:** More startup guidance can clutter logs. -> **Mitigation:** keep diagnostics concise and reserve detail for actual setup failures.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add executable packaging metadata and include required build assets.
+2. Add a fresh-install smoke test for the packaged distribution.
+3. Improve startup error messages for missing auth or setup input.
+4. Update marketplace-facing install guidance.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Which marketplace packaging assumptions need explicit automated coverage beyond a simple start-and-list-tools smoke test?
+- Should install guidance live only in the README, or also in package metadata and startup output?

+## Context
+
+The review found several P0 fidelity problems in the current implementation. `src\index.ts` creates the handler factory once with a possibly stale `LinearGraphQLClient`, `BaseHandler.verifyAuth()` does not await token refresh, search tools call filtered list queries instead of current search endpoints, tool schemas use non-standard JSON Schema patterns, and `src\graphql\client.ts` discards GraphQL errors and operational metadata.
+
+This change is the foundation for the rest of the roadmap. If auth state, tool contracts, and response fidelity remain unstable, later feature work will inherit the same drift and operational blind spots.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make authenticated handler calls use the current GraphQL client after OAuth callback and token refresh.
+- Align issue and project search behavior with Linear's current search endpoints while keeping filtered list behavior available.
+- Replace non-standard schema declarations and mismatched parameter names with portable, strict tool contracts.
+- Return machine-readable tool outputs and preserve GraphQL error and metadata fidelity.
+- Bring repository documentation and tests into alignment with the implemented platform behavior.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Add new issue, project, cycle, attachment, or webhook breadth beyond the foundation required for later changes.
+- Introduce long-term credential storage beyond the current environment-variable and in-memory OAuth approach.
+- Redesign the server transport or implement advanced event-driven capabilities.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Resolve the GraphQL client lazily instead of injecting a fixed instance once
+
+The current constructor flow creates handlers with a client snapshot that becomes stale after OAuth callback or token refresh. The server should provide handlers with a late-bound client resolver or shared client provider so every request can fetch the current authenticated client.
+
+This is preferred over rebuilding the entire handler factory after auth changes because it keeps auth propagation centralized and avoids re-instantiating unrelated handler state.
+
+### 2. Make auth verification asynchronous and gate downstream calls on refresh completion
+
+`verifyAuth()` must become asynchronous so it can await token refresh before any GraphQL request runs. A fire-and-forget refresh is not safe because the next request can race ahead with an expired client and drop refresh errors.
+
+This decision requires handler methods to await auth verification, but it removes the race the review identified and creates a single place to apply refresh failure behavior.
+
+### 3. Separate list and search tools explicitly
+
+The current `linear_search_issues` and `linear_search_projects` behave like filtered listings. The server should expose distinct list and search tools:
+
+- list tools use filter and pagination semantics
+- search tools use current Linear search endpoints and return ranked results
+
+Keeping the behaviors explicit is better than overloading one tool name because it makes client expectations, docs, and tests match the product surface.
+
+### 4. Standardize tool contracts around strict schemas and structured results
+
+`tool.types.ts` should only use standard JSON Schema keywords, and all layers must agree on field names such as `parentId`. Write and read tools should produce stable JSON payloads with identifiers, URLs, and pagination metadata so MCP clients can automate reliably.
+
+Human-readable text can remain as a companion summary, but not as the only result shape.
+
+### 5. Preserve GraphQL errors and operational metadata until the MCP boundary
+
+The GraphQL layer should return response envelopes that can carry `data`, `errors`, `extensions`, rate-limit headers, complexity headers, and retryability hints. Handler-level error mapping should happen after that fidelity is preserved so callers can distinguish validation failures, auth failures, throttling, and retryable conditions.
+
+### 6. Update docs and tests from implementation behavior instead of outdated assumptions
+
+The repository currently mixes stale OAuth, actor, and architecture descriptions. This change should refresh docs and tests from the implemented behavior so future feature work starts from a reliable baseline.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Cross-cutting refactor risk:** Async auth verification and client resolution touch many handlers. Mitigation: make the provider pattern small and shared before updating feature handlers.
+- **Client-facing contract changes:** Structured outputs and new list tools may change how existing clients consume results. Mitigation: document response shapes clearly and stage search/list changes with explicit tests.
+- **Upstream schema drift exposure:** Upgrading the SDK may surface more mismatches than the review already found. Mitigation: refresh queries and tool types directly from the current schema baseline before adding new feature breadth.
+- **More verbose responses:** Preserving GraphQL metadata can enlarge payloads. Mitigation: keep metadata structured and scoped to fields clients actually need.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Refresh the SDK and schema baseline.
+2. Introduce the late-bound client provider and async auth verification flow.
+3. Update issue and project tools to split list from search behavior.
+4. Normalize tool schemas and response envelopes.
+5. Refresh docs and tests to match the new contracts.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should every tool return both structured JSON and a companion text summary, or should some read tools return JSON only?
+- How should rate-limit and complexity metadata be surfaced in MCP responses so they remain useful without becoming noisy?
+- Should legacy search behavior remain available temporarily as an alias, or should the semantic correction happen in place?

+## Why
+
+The current server has correctness and contract drift in the auth, search, schema, and GraphQL layers. Those gaps break core flows today and make later feature expansion risky because handlers and clients do not consistently reflect Linear's current API behavior.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Rework auth and GraphQL client lifecycle handling so OAuth callback and token refresh update the active client used by all handlers.
+- Upgrade the Linear SDK and schema baseline, then align the server's query assumptions and actor semantics to that baseline.
+- Split list semantics from true search semantics and route search tools to Linear's current search endpoints.
+- Replace non-standard tool schema patterns and mismatched field names with strict JSON Schema and consistent argument contracts.
+- Standardize tool responses on structured JSON payloads while preserving human-readable summaries as companion output.
+- Preserve GraphQL fidelity by surfacing `errors`, extensions, rate-limit metadata, complexity metadata, and retryability signals instead of collapsing them into generic text errors.
+- Refresh README, architecture notes, and tests so the documented behavior matches the implemented contracts.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `auth-session-lifecycle`: Keep OAuth state, token refresh, and the active GraphQL client synchronized across all handlers.
+- `search-and-list-semantics`: Distinguish filtered listing from ranked search for issue and project tools.

+#### Scenario: Refresh failure prevents the downstream request
+- **WHEN** token refresh fails for an authenticated tool call
+- **THEN** the server SHALL return an auth-related failure and SHALL NOT execute the downstream GraphQL operation with stale credentials
+
+### Requirement: OAuth callbacks validate issued state
+The server SHALL validate the callback state value against the state issued during authorization before mutating auth state.
+
+#### Scenario: Invalid callback state is rejected
+- **WHEN** `linear_auth_callback` receives a state value that does not match the issued authorization request
+- **THEN** the server SHALL reject the callback and SHALL NOT replace the current auth state or active GraphQL client
+
+### Requirement: Authorization URLs use the current Linear actor contract

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: GraphQL responses preserve data and GraphQL errors
+The server SHALL preserve GraphQL response data together with any GraphQL `errors` and `extensions` data until the MCP response boundary.
+
+#### Scenario: Partial GraphQL success preserves both data and errors
+- **WHEN** Linear returns GraphQL data together with GraphQL errors
+- **THEN** the server SHALL preserve both in the response handling pipeline instead of collapsing the result to a generic text error
+
+### Requirement: Operational metadata is exposed when available
+The server SHALL preserve rate-limit headers, complexity headers, and similar operational response metadata when Linear includes them.
+
+#### Scenario: Rate-limit metadata is surfaced
+- **WHEN** a GraphQL response includes rate-limit or complexity metadata
+- **THEN** the server SHALL expose that metadata in a machine-readable form to the caller
+
+### Requirement: Failure handling distinguishes retryable and permanent conditions
+The server SHALL classify GraphQL failures so callers can distinguish retryable conditions such as throttling from permanent conditions such as validation failures.
+
+#### Scenario: Retryable failures are labeled as retryable
+- **WHEN** Linear rejects a request because of throttling or another transient condition
+- **THEN** the server SHALL surface the failure as retryable and SHALL preserve the relevant response metadata
+
+#### Scenario: Permanent failures remain non-retryable
+- **WHEN** Linear rejects a request because of a validation or permission failure
+- **THEN** the server SHALL surface the failure as non-retryable and SHALL preserve the relevant error details

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: List tools provide filtered pagination semantics
+The server SHALL expose dedicated list tools for issues and projects that use Linear filter and pagination semantics instead of ranked search semantics.
+
+#### Scenario: Listing issues uses filters and page info
+- **WHEN** a client calls the issue list tool with filters and pagination arguments
+- **THEN** the server SHALL query the corresponding Linear list endpoint and SHALL return the matching items with pagination metadata
+
+#### Scenario: Listing projects uses filters and page info
+- **WHEN** a client calls the project list tool with filters and pagination arguments
+- **THEN** the server SHALL query the corresponding Linear list endpoint and SHALL return the matching projects with pagination metadata
+
+### Requirement: Search tools use current Linear search endpoints
+The server SHALL implement issue and project search tools with the current Linear search endpoints so search results reflect ranked search behavior instead of filtered list behavior.
+
+#### Scenario: Issue search returns ranked search results
+- **WHEN** a client calls the issue search tool with a text query
+- **THEN** the server SHALL execute Linear's current issue search endpoint and SHALL return ranked results with search-relevant metadata when available
+
+#### Scenario: Project search returns true project search results
+- **WHEN** a client calls the project search tool with a text query
+- **THEN** the server SHALL execute Linear's current project search endpoint instead of an exact-name filter query
+
+### Requirement: Tool discovery distinguishes list from search
+The server SHALL advertise list tools and search tools as distinct MCP tools with descriptions that match their semantics.
+
+#### Scenario: Clients can discover separate list and search capabilities
+- **WHEN** an MCP client requests the server's tool list
+- **THEN** the tool catalog SHALL distinguish issue and project listing tools from issue and project search tools

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Tool schemas use strict JSON Schema
+The server SHALL define MCP input schemas with standard JSON Schema keywords and SHALL express optionality through the `required` array rather than non-standard properties.
+
+#### Scenario: Optional fields are represented with standard schema rules
+- **WHEN** an MCP client inspects a tool schema
+- **THEN** the schema SHALL use standard JSON Schema constructs for optional and required fields
+
+### Requirement: Comment reply inputs use a single parentId contract
+The server SHALL use `parentId` consistently across tool schemas, handler argument types, and GraphQL input mapping for threaded comment creation.
+
+#### Scenario: Threaded comment creation uses parentId consistently
+- **WHEN** a client creates a reply comment by passing `parentId`
+- **THEN** the declared tool schema, handler input parsing, and GraphQL mutation input SHALL all treat that field as the comment parent identifier
+
+### Requirement: Tool results include machine-readable payloads
+The server SHALL return structured JSON payloads for read and write tools so MCP clients can reliably parse identifiers, URLs, pagination metadata, and mutation status.
+
+#### Scenario: Mutation results include stable fields
+- **WHEN** a client invokes a write tool successfully
+- **THEN** the response SHALL include a machine-readable payload with the created or updated entity identifiers and relevant status fields
+
+#### Scenario: Read results include structured collection metadata
+- **WHEN** a client invokes a paginated read tool
+- **THEN** the response SHALL include a machine-readable payload with collection items and pagination metadata

Add a new AGENT.md with an agent-facing guide and key commands/paths. Expand CLAUDE.md to clarify current runtime (default stdio, optional stream transport), auth options (LINEAR_API_KEY and OAuth flow with single-use state), the distinction between linear_list_issues vs linear_search_issues (filter vs query-backed), release verification commands, project layout, and conventions. Small README.md updates mirror the same status and search/regression notes. These changes improve onboarding and document runtime, auth, and tooling expectations for developers and integrators.

+# Linear MCP — Agent Guide
+
+This is the generic agent-facing snapshot for the current MCP server. The fuller repo-specific guidance lives in `CLAUDE.md`.
+
+## Current state
+
+- Default runtime is **stdio**. Set `LINEAR_MCP_TRANSPORT=stream` to expose MCP streamable HTTP at `LINEAR_MCP_PATH` (default `/mcp`). `/sse` is intentionally unsupported.
+- Auth supports both `LINEAR_API_KEY` and the tool-driven OAuth flow through `linear_auth` and `linear_auth_callback`. OAuth callback state is single-use.
+- `linear_search_issues` is query-backed and keeps free-text `query` separate from optional list-style filters.
+- The built and packaged server is validated through `npm run verify:release`.
+
+## Main commands
+
+- `npm run build`
+- `npm test`
+- `npm run verify:tool-catalog`
+- `npm run verify:package-install`
+- `npm run verify:release`
+
+## Important code paths
+
+- `src/index.ts` — stdio vs streamable HTTP runtime bootstrap
+- `src/core/capabilities.ts` — runtime capability metadata
+- `src/core/handlers/handler.factory.ts` — tool-to-handler routing
+- `src/core/types/tool.types.ts` — MCP tool schemas
+- `src/graphql/client.ts` — shared SDK/GraphQL boundary, including query-backed issue search
+- `src/features/issues/handlers/issue.handler.ts` — issue list/search/update behavior
+
+## Working conventions
+
+- Do not edit `build/`.
+- ESM imports in TS source must use `.js` extensions.
+- Keep `linear_list_issues` filter-based and `linear_search_issues` query-based.
+- Keep runtime-gated subscription tools aligned with capability metadata.
+- If the tool surface changes, update the schemas, handler routing, `README.md`, and release verification together.

 ## Conventions
 
-- ESM imports require `.js` extensions in TS source (compiles to ESM).
-- Tool schemas live in `src/core/types/tool.types.ts`; handlers implement `ToolHandler`.
-- Add a domain by mirroring an existing feature (e.g. `features/issues/`). Wire it in the handler factory.
-- Tests colocated under `src/__tests__/` or per-feature; use `*.integration.test.ts` for live API tests.
-- Linear auth via `LINEAR_API_KEY` env var (`.env` for local dev).
+- ESM imports require `.js` extensions in TS source.
+- Tool schemas live in `src/core/types/tool.types.ts`; handler routing lives in `src/core/handlers/handler.factory.ts`.
+- Runtime-aware tools must respect `src/core/capabilities.ts` so subscription/stream behavior matches the active transport.
+- `linear_list_issues` is filter-first; `linear_search_issues` is query-first and must stay query-backed.
+- Tests live under `src/__tests__/`; keep search regressions in `graphql-client.test.ts` and `issue-handler.test.ts`.
+- Update `README.md` and release verification when the advertised tool surface or runtime behavior changes.
 
 ## Notes for Claude
 
-- Always read existing handler/feature files before adding new ones — follow established patterns.
-- After editing, run `npm run build` to catch type errors before declaring done.
-- Don't touch `build/` (generated).
-- OAuth flow in `auth.ts` / `scripts/` is **not** wired up — don't assume it works.
-- See `architecture.md` for the full architectural rationale.
+- Read the existing feature handler before changing behavior; most domains already have patterns to copy.
+- Do not edit `build/`; it is generated.
+- Keep `/sse` unsupported unless the runtime design changes everywhere, including docs and capability metadata.
+- For tool-surface changes, update schemas, handler routing, docs, and release verification together.
+- After non-trivial edits, run `npm run build`, `npm test`, and `npm run verify:release`.
+- See `architecture.md` for the architectural rationale and cross-feature behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 03/11] Add contract audits, smoke tests, and provenance

Introduce repository safeguards and runtime provenance: add openspec change docs for issue-create, issue-search, server build provenance, contract audits, and critical issue-workflow smoke tests; add a static contract-audit script (scripts/linear-api-contract-audit.mjs) and verify:linear-api-contracts / verify:issue-workflows npm scripts; update verify:release to run audits and smoke checks; expose packaged server build provenance in capabilities/startup and update README; add tests and wiring to enforce single vs batch issue-create and query-backed issue-search parity.

+## Context
+
+The current repository mixes two representations of issue creation. The MCP handlers already distinguish single issue creation from batch issue creation through separate SDK operations, but the lower-level GraphQL helper layer still contains a `CREATE_ISSUES_MUTATION` that sends an array into `issueCreate`, and the bulk-create tests still model a response shape that looks like the wrong mutation. That mismatch mirrors the runtime error seen from the tool surface, where a create path behaved like an array-backed single create instead of a true single-item mutation.
+
+This change needs a design document because it cuts across handlers, GraphQL helpers, project workflows, tests, and release validation. The goal is not only to repair code, but to remove the ambiguity that let single and batch create semantics drift apart.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Establish one authoritative contract for `linear_create_issue`, `linear_create_issues`, and project-attached follow-on issue creation.
+- Align GraphQL helpers, SDK usage, and tests so single and batch creation cannot silently swap payload shapes.
+- Add regression coverage at both helper and tool boundaries so released artifacts preserve the repaired behavior.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Redesign issue update, delete, or relation workflows.
+- Add unrelated issue fields or change the user-facing response model for successful creates.
+- Replace every GraphQL helper with SDK calls if that is unrelated to issue creation parity.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Treat the SDK-backed tool behavior as the canonical create contract
+
+The handlers already separate single and batch creation using distinct SDK entry points, so the MCP tool surface should keep that distinction as the authoritative contract. Lower-level GraphQL helpers may remain only if they match the same semantics exactly. Keeping parallel raw GraphQL definitions as equally authoritative was considered, but rejected because the observed array-vs-single drift already proves that duplicated contracts do not stay aligned.
+
+### 2. Remove or rewrite ambiguous create helpers and test fixtures
+
+The invalid array-based `issueCreate` mutation and any tests that bless that shape should be removed or rewritten so they reflect the real Linear contract. The preferred approach is to keep one valid single-create definition and one valid batch-create definition, then update project-with-issues flows to reuse the batch helper consistently. Leaving dead helpers in place with comments was considered, but rejected because they continue to mislead future edits and make runtime regressions harder to spot.
+
+### 3. Add tool-boundary regression checks in addition to helper tests
+
+Unit tests at the GraphQL client level are necessary but not sufficient, because the reported break happened at the MCP tool boundary. The change should therefore add handler or runtime-level tests that exercise `linear_create_issue` and `linear_create_issues` as distinct tools and assert they invoke different underlying create contracts. Relying only on helper tests was considered, but rejected because it does not protect the released server behavior clients actually call.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **More opinionated create layering** -> Keep the tool contract canonical at the handler boundary and allow lower-level helpers only when they preserve the same semantics.
+- **Test maintenance overhead** -> Favor a small number of high-signal runtime or handler contract tests over many duplicated mocks.
+- **Potential hidden internal callers of stale helpers** -> Search for references before removal and migrate any remaining internal use to the authoritative create helpers.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Remove or align conflicting single and batch issue-create helpers.
+2. Update project-with-issues creation to reuse the same batch contract as `linear_create_issues`.
+3. Rewrite tests so they assert the correct payload and response shape for each create path.
+4. Add runtime or packaged-server validation for the issue-create tools before release.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Is any internal code outside the issue and project handlers still using the raw GraphQL create helpers directly?
+- Should packaged-server validation live in the existing runtime transport test suite or a separate release-smoke test?

+## Why
+
+Issue creation is currently represented by multiple partially overlapping paths: the handlers use distinct Linear SDK calls, the GraphQL client still carries an invalid array-shaped `issueCreate` mutation, and the bulk-create tests still accept a response shape that looks like the wrong mutation. The runtime failure observed through the MCP tools matches this drift, so the create contract needs one authoritative implementation and regression coverage that protects the released tool surface.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Make single-issue, batch-issue, and project-with-issues creation follow one authoritative contract per tool path.
+- Remove or align stale GraphQL helpers and tests that imply unsupported array input on `issueCreate`.
+- Add regression coverage that proves `linear_create_issue` uses single-item input, `linear_create_issues` uses batch input, and project-associated issue creation reuses the same batch path.
+- Add runtime or packaged-server verification so released issue-create tools cannot drift from handler semantics.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `issue-create-contract-parity`: Keep single, batch, and project-scoped issue creation aligned with the documented Linear creation contracts.

+
+#### Scenario: Single create does not send array input

+
+#### Scenario: Batch create sends an issues array through the batch path
+- **WHEN** a client calls `linear_create_issues` with one or more issue objects
+- **THEN** the server SHALL send those issues through a batch create request and SHALL return the created issue summaries
+
+### Requirement: Project-attached follow-on issues reuse the batch contract
+The server SHALL reuse the same batch issue creation contract for project workflows that create a project and then create associated issues.
+
+#### Scenario: Project-with-issues creation reuses the batch create path
+- **WHEN** a workflow creates a project together with associated issues
+- **THEN** the server SHALL create the project first and SHALL create the follow-on issues through the same batch contract used by `linear_create_issues`
+
+### Requirement: Released issue-create tools preserve single and batch contract separation
+The released server SHALL keep `linear_create_issue` and `linear_create_issues` mapped to distinct create contracts at the MCP tool boundary.
+
+#### Scenario: Tool boundary prevents single-versus-batch contract drift
+- **WHEN** a built or packaged server handles both `linear_create_issue` and `linear_create_issues`
+- **THEN** the single-create tool SHALL use the single-issue contract and the batch-create tool SHALL use the batch contract without sharing an array-shaped `issueCreate` request

+## Context
+
+Fix-30 established the intended behavior for `linear_search_issues`: use a query-aware search backend instead of treating a free-text query like a filter-only listing request. The current source reflects that at the handler layer, but the repository still carries `searchIssuesRaw` and a filter-based search query helper, and the tool failure seen at runtime still resembles the old invalid path. That means the codebase still has enough stale search surface for released behavior to drift away from the intended contract.
+
+This change needs a design document because it spans helper cleanup, handler guarantees, tool schema expectations, and runtime verification. The problem is not just the search code itself; it is the persistence of alternative search paths that can survive in tests or released artifacts.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make the query-backed search helper the only supported backend for `linear_search_issues`.
+- Remove or isolate stale raw search helpers that can reintroduce filter-only behavior.
+- Add runtime or packaged-server tests that verify the released tool surface preserves query-backed search semantics.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Change `linear_list_issues` semantics or merge list and search into one tool.
+- Expand the search schema beyond filter combinations that the Linear SDK path can actually support.
+- Redesign project search or broader authentication behavior.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Keep `linear_search_issues` on the SDK-backed query path only
+
+The MCP tool should have exactly one authoritative backend: the SDK search call that accepts the client query directly. The stale raw filter-based helper should be removed or explicitly isolated from the issue-search tool path. Keeping both helpers available for convenience was considered, but rejected because it preserves the same ambiguity that produced the observed regression.
+
+### 2. Verify issue search through the MCP server boundary
+
+Existing unit tests prove that the handler and client helpers can call the right methods, but they do not guarantee the released tool surface does the same. This change should add a server-boundary test that invokes `linear_search_issues` through the MCP runtime and verifies the query and filters stay separated. Relying only on helper-level tests was considered, but rejected because that gap already allowed runtime behavior to drift.
+
+### 3. Document search and list as different contracts
+
+The documentation and tool expectations should state clearly that `linear_search_issues` is a free-text search entry point with optional supported filters, while `linear_list_issues` remains the filter-first listing path. Allowing search to silently fall back to listing behavior was considered, but rejected because it makes failures harder to diagnose and breaks the meaning of the tool names.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Removing stale helpers could affect hidden internal callers** -> Search for all references before deletion and migrate any remaining uses deliberately.
+- **Runtime tests can be slower than unit tests** -> Keep the server-boundary coverage narrowly focused on the issue search contract.
+- **Supported filter scope may stay narrower than list semantics** -> Document the supported combinations explicitly instead of guessing or silently widening behavior.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Remove or isolate raw filter-only issue search helpers from the `linear_search_issues` path.
+2. Keep the handler and tool schema aligned with the query-backed search semantics.
+3. Add unit and runtime regression coverage for query-only and query-plus-filter searches.
+4. Update documentation and release validation to describe and protect the repaired behavior.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Is `searchIssuesRaw` used anywhere outside tests or experiments that still needs a supported replacement?
+- Should the runtime parity test live in the existing transport suite or in a dedicated release-smoke harness?

+## Why
+
+Issue search is supposed to be query-backed after fix-30, but the repository still carries a raw filter-only search helper and the observed MCP failure still looks like the pre-fix path that tried to behave like filtered listing instead of free-text search. The search contract needs to make the query-backed path authoritative from source to released artifact so stale search code cannot resurface.
+
+## What Changes

+- Remove or isolate stale filter-only issue search helpers that can masquerade as the `linear_search_issues` implementation.

+## Context
+
+The local `linear-mcp` source can now be fixed while an external or packaged server still behaves like an older build. Today the server gives clients almost no way to tell the difference. `LinearServer` announces itself with a hardcoded `0.1.0` version, the `linear_get_capabilities` tool returns runtime transport data but not server identity, and the release scripts verify tool surfaces without checking that the packaged server reports its own packaged version.
+
+This change crosses runtime metadata, tool output, startup diagnostics, and packaged-install verification. A design is useful because the fix needs one stable source of truth for build identity rather than more scattered literals.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make the server expose the actual packaged build identity and version at runtime.
+- Keep the MCP server handshake metadata, `linear_get_capabilities`, and startup diagnostics aligned to the same source of truth.
+- Verify the built and packaged server report the expected provenance before release.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Implement full deployment orchestration or remote server rollout logic.
+- Guarantee that a third-party hosted server upgrades itself automatically.
+- Add sensitive release metadata that should not be exposed to clients.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Resolve server build info from package metadata with optional environment-supplied commit data
+
+The authoritative version should come from `package.json`, because that is what the built and packaged artifact actually ships. Optional commit metadata can be attached from environment variables such as `LINEAR_MCP_BUILD_SHA` or `GITHUB_SHA` when present, but the server should remain useful when that metadata is absent. Reading git state directly at runtime was considered, but rejected because packaged installs and production environments often lack a git checkout.
+
+### 2. Thread build provenance through runtime capabilities and MCP server metadata
+
+The same build info should drive both the MCP server descriptor passed to `new Server(...)` and the structured response from `linear_get_capabilities`. That keeps human-visible diagnostics and machine-readable capability discovery aligned. Keeping one value in startup logs and another in capabilities was considered, but rejected because it preserves the ambiguity this change is meant to remove.
+
+### 3. Validate provenance from the built and packaged server boundary
+
+Release checks should connect to the built and freshly packaged server and confirm the reported build provenance matches the packaged metadata. Unit tests alone are not enough here because the problem is specifically about what the packaged server reports after build and install.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Environment-dependent commit metadata** -> Treat commit SHA as optional and make version reporting the required baseline.
+- **More release assertions can be brittle** -> Compare only stable provenance fields and keep the checks focused on packaged metadata.
+- **Capability payload growth** -> Add only small, operationally useful fields such as package name, version, and optional commit SHA.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Introduce a shared server build metadata source derived from package metadata.
+2. Feed that metadata into runtime capabilities, the MCP server descriptor, and startup logs.
+3. Update capability and runtime tests to assert the new provenance fields.
+4. Extend built/package release verification to fail when provenance drifts from the packaged metadata.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the startup diagnostics print the optional commit SHA only when available, or always include a placeholder value?
+- Is a build timestamp useful enough to expose now, or should provenance stay limited to package version and commit SHA?

+## Why

+## Context
+
+The current Linear MCP repository mixes hand-written GraphQL documents with SDK-backed issue workflow helpers. That is workable only if the repository has a clear, enforced boundary for which contract comes from raw GraphQL and which comes from the official SDK. The recent issue-create and issue-search failures show that this boundary drifted: stale array input on `issueCreate` and an invalid `IssueFilter.search` assumption both survived long enough to reach users.
+
+This change needs a design because it spans source files, verification scripts, and developer guidance. The goal is not just to repair one bug; it is to make stale Linear API assumptions fail fast before packaging.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add a repository-level verification step that checks critical issue workflow contracts against the authoritative Linear behavior already established by official docs and SDK usage.
+- Keep issue creation and issue search on explicitly approved contract paths.
+- Make release verification fail when the repository reintroduces the known-invalid create/search shapes.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Run live GraphQL introspection against Linear on every CI or release invocation.
+- Replace all raw GraphQL usage in the repository with SDK calls.
+- Expand the first audit pass beyond the critical issue create/search workflows.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use a local contract audit instead of live network validation
+
+The repository should store a small, explicit set of guarded contract expectations for issue create/search and verify source artifacts against them locally. This keeps release verification deterministic and avoids making CI depend on external network access, credentials, or schema explorer availability.
+
+Live introspection against `api.linear.app` was considered, but rejected because it would make the safety check slower, flakier, and harder to run in contributor environments. The audit should codify the authoritative contracts already confirmed from the official docs and SDK.
+
+### 2. Audit both document shape and helper ownership
+
+The check should not only inspect GraphQL document strings; it should also guard which helper owns each workflow. Single-create and batch-create can be raw GraphQL if their shapes remain correct, while free-text issue search should remain on the SDK path instead of a raw filter helper.
+
+Auditing only document text was considered, but rejected because the search failure came from a stale alternative helper path as much as from a wrong field. The verification needs to protect both the GraphQL contract and the code path selection.
+
+### 3. Integrate the audit into existing release verification
+
+The new audit should run alongside the existing tool-catalog and packaged-install checks so it becomes part of the normal release gate. That keeps the repository’s safety story in one place and avoids another optional script that can be forgotten.
+
+Keeping the audit as a standalone developer-only check was considered, but rejected because the recent regressions were costly precisely because invalid contracts reached released MCP builds.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **The audit may become stale if Linear changes again** -> Keep the guarded scope small and documented so updates are straightforward when official contracts move.
+- **Static checks can miss a runtime-only edge case** -> Pair the contract audit with the existing and proposed MCP-boundary runtime coverage instead of treating it as the only safety net.
+- **Too much rigidity could block legitimate refactors** -> Encode behavior-level assertions rather than fragile formatting or file-layout assumptions.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add a small authoritative contract-audit source for the issue create/search workflows.
+2. Wire the audit into release verification.
+3. Update GraphQL helpers and docs to align with the audited contract boundaries.
+4. Expand the same pattern to other high-risk Linear workflows only if this first pass proves valuable.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the contract audit read from a small JSON manifest, code assertions in a script, or a typed helper module shared by tests and release scripts?
+- After issue workflows are guarded, which next Linear surfaces are high-risk enough to justify the same treatment?

+## Why
+
+Two separate MCP failures came from the same root problem: the repository allowed stale Linear API assumptions to survive after the official contract had moved on. Public reports and the official Linear docs both confirm that `issueCreate` expects a single `IssueCreateInput`, while free-text issue search belongs on the SDK query path instead of an `IssueFilter.search` field.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add a repository-level contract audit for the Linear issue-create and issue-search surfaces.
+- Fail verification when hand-written GraphQL documents or helper entry points encode unsupported create/search contracts, including array input on `issueCreate` or `search` inside `IssueFilter`.
+- Define one authoritative source for when this server should use raw GraphQL documents versus official SDK operations for issue workflows.
+- Document the guarded create/search contracts so future tool-surface changes do not reintroduce the same drift.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `linear-api-contract-audit`: Guard the repository against stale Linear create/search contract assumptions before code ships.

+#### Scenario: Audit rejects array input on single issue creation

+- **THEN** it MUST fail if `issueCreate` is defined or invoked with array-shaped input instead of one `IssueCreateInput`
+
+### Requirement: Free-text issue search MUST stay separate from filter-only issue listing fields
+The repository SHALL reject issue-search implementations that encode the user query as an `IssueFilter` field instead of the authoritative query-backed search path.
+
+#### Scenario: Audit rejects filter-based free-text search encoding
+- **WHEN** repository verification inspects the issue search implementation
+- **THEN** it MUST fail if free-text search is routed through a raw `IssueFilter.search`-style contract or an equivalent stale filter-only helper
+
+### Requirement: Release verification MUST run the contract audit
+The release workflow SHALL include the Linear API contract audit before a build is considered ready to ship.
+
+#### Scenario: Release fails on contract drift
+- **WHEN** the guarded create/search contract audit detects a stale or unsupported contract shape
+- **THEN** release verification MUST fail before packaging succeeds

+## Context
+
+Recent user-visible failures happened at the MCP tool boundary: creating an issue and searching issues both broke in ways that were obvious to clients but not fully prevented by the repository’s local safety checks. The repo now has better local fixes and provenance reporting, but it still lacks a deterministic way to exercise the critical issue workflows through the server boundary without real Linear credentials.
+
+This change needs a design because it likely introduces a test seam in server or handler wiring, plus new runtime coverage that sits between unit tests and real authenticated integration tests. The goal is to catch tool-boundary regressions without relying on live Linear access.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add deterministic MCP-boundary smoke coverage for single issue create, batch issue create, and free-text issue search.
+- Make those tests runnable without real Linear credentials or network access.
+- Tie the smoke coverage into normal verification so critical issue workflows cannot silently drift again.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Add live end-to-end tests against a real Linear workspace.
+- Smoke-test every MCP tool in the server.
+- Redesign the authentication flow or broader transport model.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Add a fake-backend test seam instead of live authenticated smoke tests
+
+The MCP server should be runnable in tests with an injected fake Linear backend or factory so the tool boundary can be exercised deterministically. This makes the tests fast, local, and credential-free while still verifying handler routing and tool responses through the real MCP server surface.
+
+Live authenticated smoke tests were considered, but rejected because they would be brittle, secret-dependent, and difficult to require for every release or contributor workflow.
+
+### 2. Focus the first smoke suite on critical issue workflows only
+
+The suite should cover the workflows that are currently proven user pain points: `linear_create_issue`, `linear_create_issues`, and `linear_search_issues`. That gives the repository a high-value safety net without turning the smoke harness into a second full integration suite.
+
+Testing the entire tool catalog was considered, but rejected because it would add too much setup and noise before the harness proves its value on the most failure-prone paths.
+
+### 3. Keep release gating aligned with deterministic smoke behavior
+
+The repository should treat the smoke harness as part of its normal verification story, either within the existing Jest/runtime suites or a release-adjacent script that uses the same fake backend setup. That ensures critical issue workflows are checked through the same MCP entry points that clients use.
+
+Keeping the smoke suite purely optional was considered, but rejected because the current problem is exactly that these workflows can look healthy in source while still failing where users invoke them.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Injectable test seams can complicate production wiring** -> Keep the seam narrow and default to the current production construction path.
+- **Smoke tests may overlap with unit tests** -> Use them only for behavior that matters specifically at the MCP boundary.
+- **A fake backend could miss one real SDK nuance** -> Pair this suite with the contract audit and existing helper-level tests instead of replacing them.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Introduce a narrow test seam for supplying a fake Linear backend to the MCP server or handler wiring.
+2. Add MCP-boundary smoke tests for single create, batch create, and free-text search.
+3. Wire the smoke coverage into the normal verification path.
+4. Expand coverage only if future regressions justify more boundary-level checks.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the fake backend be injected at `LinearServer`, `HandlerFactory`, or `LinearGraphQLClient` construction time?
+- Is the best release gate a Jest suite, a release helper script, or a combination where release calls the focused Jest smoke suite?

+## Why
+
+The repository can now contain the right local fixes while the released MCP still breaks the most important issue workflows. Public issue reports and the current CLI repro both show that issue creation and issue search can fail at the MCP boundary even when the intended source-level contract is known.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add MCP-boundary smoke coverage for the critical issue workflows: single create, batch create, and free-text issue search.
+- Introduce a deterministic test seam so the server can be exercised end-to-end with a fake Linear client instead of real credentials.
+- Extend release verification or adjacent runtime validation so stale issue-workflow behavior cannot ship unnoticed.
+- Document the critical smoke-tested workflows that must remain operational for released MCP builds.

+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `mcp-issue-workflow-smoke-tests`: Verify that the released MCP server preserves critical issue workflow behavior through the tool boundary.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+- None.

+## Context
+
+The MCP server exposes tool schemas through `tool.types.ts`, but the runtime dispatch path does not validate incoming arguments against those schemas before handing them to feature handlers. That leaves the server relying on top-level required-field checks and downstream Linear SDK failures. The same execution boundary returns raw upstream headers in structured GraphQL error payloads, which is more exposure than most MCP clients need.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Enforce advertised tool schemas at runtime before handler dispatch.
+- Return deterministic, machine-readable validation failures.
+- Sanitize structured GraphQL error metadata.
+- Keep handler-specific invariant checks where they still add value.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Rewrite every handler around a new validation framework.
+- Remove all useful upstream diagnostics from error responses.
+- Redesign tool schemas beyond what is needed for enforceable runtime behavior.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use the advertised tool schema map as the single validation source of truth
+Compile validators from the same schema objects already used for `ListTools` so the server cannot drift between what it advertises and what it enforces. Validation will happen in the `CallTool` path before a handler method is invoked.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Keep manual per-handler validation: rejected because it has already drifted from the advertised contracts.
+- Create a second set of runtime-only schemas: rejected because dual sources of truth are likely to drift.
+
+### 2. Fail fast with structured validation errors
+Schema violations should produce consistent MCP error responses that identify the offending field or rule. Handlers should then treat `validateRequiredParams` as a local invariant check rather than the primary contract guard.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Let invalid payloads flow into the SDK: rejected because it produces inconsistent and less actionable failures.
+
+### 3. Sanitize GraphQL error metadata with an allowlist
+Structured GraphQL errors should preserve useful diagnostics such as status, retryability, normalized GraphQL errors, and possibly a small correlation identifier, but should not forward raw upstream headers wholesale.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Return all headers as today: rejected because it leaks unnecessary transport metadata.
+- Remove all upstream metadata: rejected because callers still need enough detail to reason about retryability and request failures.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Stricter runtime validation can break permissive clients]** -> Document the change and align validation errors with the advertised schemas so the break is deterministic and correct.
+- **[Schema compilation adds startup/runtime complexity]** -> Compile validators once and reuse them rather than validating ad hoc in each handler.
+- **[Allowlisting metadata can hide a useful header]** -> Start with a minimal allowlist and expand only when a concrete client need exists.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add schema compilation and runtime validation at the MCP boundary.
+2. Update error serialization to remove raw headers and keep approved fields only.
+3. Extend tests to cover runtime validation and error sanitization.
+4. Update any docs or client notes that depended on permissive runtime behavior.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should validation failures be returned as MCP `InvalidParams` errors only, or always as structured tool errors to match the existing response style?

+## Why
+
+The server advertises strict tool schemas but does not enforce them at the MCP boundary, leaving bulk, nested, and freeform payloads to fail deep inside handlers or the Linear SDK. The same boundary also returns more upstream error metadata than most clients need, which weakens the server's reliability and security posture.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Enforce advertised JSON Schema contracts before dispatching tool calls to handlers.
+- Normalize validation failures into consistent MCP error responses.
+- Limit structured GraphQL error payloads to safe, intentional metadata instead of forwarding all upstream headers.
+- Add regression coverage proving that schema contracts are enforced at runtime, not only declared in tool metadata.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `runtime-tool-input-validation`: validate MCP tool arguments against the advertised input schemas before handler dispatch.
+- `sanitized-error-metadata`: expose only approved upstream error metadata to MCP clients.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `src/index.ts`, `src/core/types/tool.types.ts`, `src/core/handlers/base.handler.ts`, and related tests.
+- Affected behavior: invalid tool payloads fail fast with deterministic MCP validation errors.
+- Affected clients: MCP clients may now receive earlier validation failures for malformed requests.

+## Context
+
+The current auth lifecycle is implemented through a mutable `LinearAuth` instance that stores OAuth configuration, pending callback state, token data, and the active Linear client. That model is acceptable for stdio's single-client runtime, but stream transport creates multiple remote sessions while still sharing the same auth object. The same auth lifecycle also uses a weak OAuth state generator and only clears matched state after a successful token exchange.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Use a cryptographically strong OAuth state primitive.
+- Make pending OAuth state single-use on every matched callback attempt.
+- Isolate mutable auth state per MCP stream session.
+- Preserve the existing stdio and API-key workflows.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Persist auth state across process restarts.
+- Introduce a new auth provider or credential store.
+- Redesign the Linear OAuth flow beyond session isolation and state hardening.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use a cryptographically secure state generator
+Use Node crypto to generate OAuth state values instead of `Math.random()`. `randomBytes(...).toString('base64url')` is preferred over a shorter UUID because it is purpose-built for bearer-style state tokens and avoids predictable output.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- `randomUUID()`: acceptable, but less explicit about state-token entropy and formatting.
+- Keep `Math.random()`: rejected because it is not a CSPRNG.
+
+### 2. Consume pending state before the token exchange can be retried
+Once a callback presents the expected pending state, remove that state from the auth context before or during the first exchange attempt so the same state cannot be replayed after a failed exchange.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Clear state only on successful exchange: rejected because it violates the documented single-use contract.
+- Clear state only in a `finally` block after the exchange: acceptable, but consuming state immediately after a successful match makes replay behavior simpler and easier to reason about.
+
+### 3. Resolve auth through a session-scoped auth context in stream mode
+Introduce an auth-context layer that distinguishes stdio from stream transport. In stdio, the server can keep a single local auth context. In stream mode, the server shall resolve auth state from the MCP session identifier so pending OAuth state, tokens, and client configuration are isolated per remote session.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Keep one shared `LinearAuth` and document the limitation: rejected because remote stream access is already documented and a shared auth context is unsafe.
+- Create a fresh handler factory per request: viable, but the important design change is session-scoped auth resolution rather than the factory lifecycle itself.
+
+### 4. Fail closed if stream-session auth binding is unavailable
+If the MCP runtime cannot provide a stable per-session identifier at the request boundary, stream-mode OAuth should fail closed rather than silently falling back to a shared auth context.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Silent fallback to process-global auth: rejected because it recreates the original race and session-mixing problem.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Session metadata availability]** -> If the SDK does not expose a stable stream-session identifier at the handler boundary, the implementation will need a small auth-context abstraction or a stream-mode restriction for OAuth until that metadata is available.
+- **[Behavior divergence between stdio and stream]** -> Keep the difference explicit in code, tests, and docs so clients understand why stream mode requires session-scoped auth.
+- **[More auth lifecycle tests]** -> The surface area increases slightly, but the risk is mitigated by adding direct tests for replay, failed exchange, and concurrent stream-session behavior.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Introduce the session-aware auth context abstraction.
+2. Switch OAuth state generation and consumption to the hardened flow.
+3. Update stream-mode auth handling and documentation together.
+4. Add auth/session regression tests before enabling the new behavior by default.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should API-key auth in stream mode be duplicated into each session context automatically, or treated as a global read-only default that OAuth can override per session?

+## Why
+
+The MCP server's auth lifecycle currently has two security gaps: OAuth state is weak and not always consumed after a callback attempt, and stream transport shares one mutable auth context across all clients. These behaviors undermine the server's security boundary right where remote clients and OAuth flows intersect.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Replace the current OAuth state generator with a cryptographically secure primitive.
+- Make OAuth callback state single-use even when token exchange fails.
+- Isolate auth configuration, pending OAuth state, and active Linear credentials per MCP stream session instead of per server process.

+## Context
+
+The issue and project workflow surface mixes strong batch semantics with ad hoc multi-step orchestration. `linear_create_project_with_issues` can progress without proving project creation returned a usable identifier, bulk delete does not yet expose a trustworthy end-to-end bulk contract, and issue-state filters can silently override one another. These behaviors make automation difficult to reason about because the MCP boundary does not always describe the final state clearly.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make project-plus-issues workflows return deterministic outcomes.
+- Repair bulk issue delete end to end before depending on it.
+- Eliminate ambiguous issue-state filter behavior.
+- Centralize or align multi-step workflow logic so it does not drift across layers.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Introduce transactional guarantees that the upstream Linear API does not support.
+- Redesign unrelated issue or project read paths.
+- Broaden the workflow surface beyond the reviewed reliability fixes.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use one shared orchestration contract for project-with-issues
+The server should consolidate project-plus-issues orchestration into one shared path so the MCP handler and lower-level helper cannot diverge on success checks, project-ID guards, or failure semantics.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Keep duplicate implementations and update both: rejected because the existing divergence is already a source of bugs.
+
+### 2. Treat project creation and issue creation as a compensating workflow
+The workflow cannot be truly atomic across two upstream operations, so the server should adopt explicit compensating behavior: validate project success and identifier before creating issues, attempt cleanup if issue creation fails, and if cleanup cannot complete, return a partial-state response that names the created project and failed step.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Return a generic error after issue-batch failure: rejected because it leaves callers unable to reason about server state.
+- Ignore compensation and document orphan risk: rejected because the tool is intended for automation.
+
+### 3. Verify the bulk-delete contract before switching the MCP handler to it
+Because the existing lower-level bulk-delete mutation appears suspicious, the implementation should add a contract audit or live-facing verification first. Once the contract is confirmed, the MCP handler should use that verified path; until then, it must not return ambiguous all-or-nothing results when partial deletion occurs.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Wire the existing helper into the handler immediately: rejected because it may encode the wrong upstream contract.
+
+### 4. Reject conflicting state filters
+`stateId` and `states` should be treated as mutually exclusive at the MCP boundary. Rejecting the ambiguous combination is clearer than silently picking a precedence order.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Let one field win silently: rejected because the current overwrite behavior is confusing.
+- Merge the two into a compound filter: rejected because it complicates semantics without clear user benefit.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Compensation can also fail]** -> Surface explicit partial-state details whenever rollback cannot restore the original state.
+- **[Bulk delete contract uncertainty]** -> Add verification before changing the public handler path.
+- **[Rejecting conflicting filters changes permissive behavior]** -> Make the validation error explicit and update docs/tests so the change is predictable.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Consolidate the project-with-issues orchestration path and define compensation semantics.
+2. Verify the bulk-delete contract and update the handler accordingly.
+3. Add validation for conflicting issue-state filters.
+4. Backfill focused regression tests for each workflow.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- If the upstream API lacks a true bulk-delete operation, should the long-term MCP contract return per-ID settled results permanently instead of a boolean success shape?

+## Why
+
+Several issue and project workflow paths are reliable only in the happy case: project-plus-issues creation can leave behind incomplete state, bulk delete does not use a trustworthy bulk contract end to end, and state filters can silently override each other. These gaps make automation harder to trust because callers cannot reason about outcomes from the MCP boundary alone.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Make `linear_create_project_with_issues` fail fast when project creation is incomplete and define how partial failures are surfaced or compensated.
+- Repair and validate the bulk issue delete contract before routing MCP bulk delete through it.
+- Stop `stateId` and `states` from silently conflicting in issue list/search filters.
+- Add focused tests for project-with-issues, bulk delete, and conflicting issue-filter inputs.

+- `bulk-issue-delete-reliability`: MCP bulk issue deletion uses a verified bulk contract and returns reliable outcomes.
+- `deterministic-issue-state-filtering`: issue search and list flows handle `stateId` and `states` predictably.

+- Affected behavior: callers receive clearer, safer results for multi-step issue and project automation.
+- Potential compatibility note: ambiguous filter combinations may become explicit validation errors.

+## Context
+
+The server currently bootstraps startup API-key auth only from `LINEAR_API_KEY`, while some MCP clients and operator setups provide the same credential as `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN`. That mismatch makes a valid configured token look like missing auth when the server is started directly, inspected in package-install smoke tests, or wired into a client config outside the host that injected the value.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Accept `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN` anywhere startup API-key auth currently accepts `LINEAR_API_KEY`.
+- Keep startup auth precedence deterministic when both env vars are present.
+- Align startup diagnostics, runtime/package smoke coverage, and operator docs with the same env contract.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Change OAuth behavior or add a new auth mode.
+- Redesign `LinearAuth` beyond the startup env bootstrap path.
+- Introduce persistent credential storage.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Resolve startup API-key env selection once and prefer `LINEAR_API_KEY`
+Startup should choose a single API-key value before auth initialization and use the same selection for diagnostics. `LINEAR_API_KEY` remains the primary variable to preserve existing behavior and avoid ambiguity when both variables are set.
+
+### 2. Surface deterministic startup diagnostics for every env state
+Startup output should say whether it detected `LINEAR_API_KEY`, detected `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN`, detected both and chose `LINEAR_API_KEY`, or detected neither variable. That keeps packaged-install smoke tests and operator troubleshooting aligned with the real bootstrap path.
+
+### 3. Extend regression coverage across runtime and packaged entrypoints
+The runtime smoke harness should be able to start the real server with either env name, and packaged-install verification should assert that both names are accepted. Integration-test credential detection should also accept either variable so local verification matches documented startup behavior.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **Two valid env names increase config drift risk** -> Prefer `LINEAR_API_KEY` when both are set and document that precedence explicitly.
+- **Startup diagnostics become more specific** -> Keep them derived from the same env resolver used for bootstrap so messaging cannot drift from behavior.
+- **More smoke-test permutations** -> Limit the added checks to credential-free startup paths so coverage stays fast and deterministic.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add a startup env resolver that accepts both variable names and records which source was selected.
+2. Update startup diagnostics and runtime helpers to use the new env contract.
+3. Extend runtime, integration, and packaged-install coverage for both variable names.
+4. Update operator-facing docs and examples to match the released behavior.

+## Why
+
+The server currently initializes API-key auth only from `LINEAR_API_KEY` and reports startup guidance only for that variable. In practice, MCP client configurations and operator habits also use `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN`, so a valid configured token can look like missing auth when the server is run directly or inspected outside the host client.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Accept `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN` as a supported API-key environment variable for startup auth while preserving `LINEAR_API_KEY` compatibility.
+- Define deterministic precedence and startup diagnostics when one or both API-key environment variables are present.
+- Add regression coverage for startup auth initialization and packaged/runtime smoke checks using both environment-variable names.
+- Update README, examples, and operator guidance so manual CLI use, packaged installs, and MCP client configs describe the same auth contract.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+- `api-key-env-alias`: Support startup API-key auth through either `LINEAR_API_KEY` or `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN`, with clear precedence and operator diagnostics.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+- None.
+
+## Impact
+
+- `src/index.ts`
+- startup diagnostics and auth bootstrap behavior
+- auth integration tests and runtime smoke helpers
+- `README.md`, `architecture.md`, and `.env.example`

+## Context
+
+The agent workflow tools currently accept several mostly freeform objects and have little direct handler or contract coverage compared with the rest of the MCP surface. That is risky because agent payloads are one of the easiest places for malformed, oversized, or unintended data to cross the boundary between the MCP client and the Linear API.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Make agent input contracts more explicit where the server owns stable structure.
+- Add bounded validation for the remaining flexible objects.
+- Return intentionally shaped agent response fields.
+- Add direct regression coverage for the agent tool surface.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Eliminate every flexible field from the Linear agent API surface.
+- Redesign the underlying Linear agent model.
+- Add new agent product features unrelated to contract hardening.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use a two-tier contract for agent payloads
+Server-owned structures such as top-level tool arguments, external URL entries, and any stable wrapper fields should use explicit schemas. Truly provider-owned opaque objects such as activity content or metadata may remain objects, but they should be validated for type, size, and complexity bounds before being forwarded.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Keep all freeform objects unbounded: rejected because it preserves the current risk.
+- Fully schema every nested agent object: rejected because the upstream payload shape may intentionally remain flexible.
+
+### 2. Shape agent responses intentionally
+Agent handlers should return only documented safe fields rather than echoing arbitrary upstream structures by default. Flexible nested fields that remain exposed should be explicitly chosen and bounded.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Mirror upstream responses wholesale: rejected because it couples clients to internal upstream details and increases leakage risk.
+
+### 3. Treat agent regression coverage as part of the contract
+Because the agent surface is both flexible and lightly tested today, direct tool-contract and handler tests are part of the change rather than an optional implementation detail.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Rely on generic tool-contract tests only: rejected because they do not currently exercise handler behavior or flexible payload edge cases.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Tighter validation may reject payloads that passed before]** -> Keep explicit bounds and document them so callers can adapt predictably.
+- **[Opaque upstream payloads may evolve]** -> Preserve bounded passthrough objects only where strict schemas would create brittle coupling.
+- **[More tests increase maintenance]** -> Limit the suite to critical create/get/update/list flows and validation boundaries.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Narrow the explicit schemas for agent tools where structure is stable.
+2. Add shared validation helpers for bounded freeform agent objects.
+3. Update response shaping for session and activity handlers.
+4. Add direct contract and handler coverage for the agent tool surface.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Which agent response fields must remain fully transparent to MCP clients for compatibility, and which can be reduced to safe summaries without breaking existing usage?

+## Why
+
+The agent workflow surface is the least-constrained part of the MCP server: it accepts largely freeform payloads and has little direct regression coverage. That makes agent automation brittle and raises the chance of malformed, oversized, or unintended data crossing the MCP boundary unnoticed.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Narrow agent session and activity contracts where the server can express stable structure.
+- Add explicit bounds or validation rules for the remaining flexible payloads such as activity content, metadata, plans, filters, and user state entries.
+- Define what agent response fields are safe to echo back to MCP clients.
+- Add direct tool-contract and handler tests for agent sessions and activities.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `agent-workflow-contract-hardening`: agent session and activity tools validate inputs and return intentionally shaped outputs.
+- `agent-workflow-regression-coverage`: agent tools have direct contract and handler tests for critical create/get/update flows.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `src/core/types/tool.types.ts`, `src/features/agents/types/agent.types.ts`, `src/features/agents/handlers/agent.handler.ts`, and new/updated tests under `src/__tests__`.
+- Affected behavior: malformed or unsafe agent payloads fail earlier and agent responses become more predictable.

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] Fix searchIssues SDK variable leak and harden tool
 schemas

Replace the Linear SDK's searchIssues() call with a raw GraphQL query
to prevent the SDK from leaking the search term into the $filter
variable as { search: "..." }, which is not a valid IssueFilter field.

Also removes top-level oneOf/allOf/anyOf combinators from advertised
tool schemas for Claude-compatible MCP client ingestion, and updates
contract audits and tests accordingly.

 - Default runtime is **stdio**. Set `LINEAR_MCP_TRANSPORT=stream` to expose MCP streamable HTTP at `LINEAR_MCP_PATH` (default `/mcp`). The server does **not** expose `/sse`.
 - Auth supports `LINEAR_API_KEY`, the `LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN` alias, and the tool-driven OAuth flow through `linear_auth` and `linear_auth_callback`. OAuth callback `state` values are single-use.
 - Advertised tool schemas are enforced at runtime before handler dispatch, so malformed tool payloads fail with structured validation errors at the MCP boundary.
+- Advertised tool schemas avoid top-level `oneOf`/`allOf`/`anyOf` combinators so Claude-compatible MCP clients can ingest the full tool catalog.
 - `linear_get_capabilities` reports transport details together with server build provenance so clients can confirm the packaged runtime name/version they are connected to.
 - `linear_search_issues` is the query-backed issue search path. The built server advertises a required `query` string and keeps the free-text query separate from optional list-style filters.
 - Release validation is gated by `npm run verify:release`, which rebuilds the server, audits guarded Linear issue contracts, checks the built tool catalog, runs critical issue workflow smoke tests, and smoke-tests a fresh packaged install.

Subject: [PATCH 06/11] Add deterministic identifier lookups for issue search

Resolve human-friendly issue identifiers (e.g. POL-431) before or during free-text search so exact hits return stable issue data and pagination metadata. Implements LinearGraphQLClient.findIssueByIdentifier, identifier parsing/filter builder, and updates searchIssues to prefer an exact team-key+number filter and fall back to listing when appropriate. Handlers for issues and comments now resolve identifiers before calling SDK/GraphQL methods; single-create issue flow was switched to the raw GraphQL helper. Tests, runtime smoke helpers, README docs, and packaged-install verification were updated to exercise and document the new behavior; an audit script and a new code-review note were also added. Also fixes SDK method invocation binding in sdk.utils to preserve the method receiver.

+# MCP Server Code Review
+
+**Scope:** design patterns, bulk issue handling, AI agent handling, reliability, and security.
+
+**Review sources:** manual review plus independent passes from **GPT-4.1**, **GPT-5.4**, **Claude Opus 4.6**, and **Claude Sonnet 4.6**.
+
+**Baseline:** `npm run build`, `npm test`, and `npm run verify:release` completed successfully during review. The findings below are design, correctness, and hardening issues rather than current red-test failures.
+
+## What is working well
+
+- The repo has a clear domain-oriented handler structure with a shared response/error layer and explicit runtime capability gating for stdio vs stream transport.
+- The issue search path is intentionally separated from list/filter semantics, and release verification covers the built tool catalog and packaged-install smoke path.
+- Structured MCP responses are consistent, and the project already has good baseline coverage around auth, issue workflows, runtime transport, and tool contracts.
+
+## Ranked recommendations
+
+### 1. **High** — Harden OAuth state generation and make it truly single-use
+
+**Recommendation:** Replace `Math.random()` with a cryptographically secure generator and clear `pendingOAuthState` on every callback attempt, not only after a successful token exchange.
+
+**Why it matters:** The current state token is weak for a CSRF boundary, and the implementation/documentation mismatch means a failed exchange leaves the same state reusable even though the docs and tool response describe it as single-use.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- State generation uses `Math.random()`: `src\auth.ts:198-199`
+- State is only cleared on success, not in the failure path: `src\auth.ts:90-110`
+- The server advertises the state as single-use: `README.md:8,63`, `src\features\auth\handlers\auth.handler.ts:30-37`
+
+**Consensus:** manual, GPT-4.1, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
+
+### 2. **High** — Stop sharing auth and OAuth state across stream-transport sessions
+
+**Recommendation:** Scope auth state to the MCP session in stream mode, or explicitly reject concurrent/session-mixed auth flows instead of storing one global `LinearAuth` for the whole process.
+
+**Why it matters:** Stream transport creates per-session IDs, but `config`, `tokenData`, `linearClient`, and `pendingOAuthState` are process-global. One client can overwrite another client’s auth flow or active credentials, which is a real security and reliability issue once the HTTP endpoint is used remotely.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- A single `LinearAuth` instance is created and shared by the whole server: `src\index.ts:57-68`
+- The auth state is instance-global: `src\auth.ts:48-52`
+- Stream mode creates per-session IDs without per-session auth isolation: `src\index.ts:150-156`
+- The README explicitly documents remote stream access and public tunneling: `README.md:121-135,224-226`
+
+**Consensus:** manual, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
+
+### 3. **High** — Enforce advertised tool schemas at the server boundary
+
+**Recommendation:** Add server-side JSON Schema validation before dispatching tool calls, instead of relying on client conformance plus ad hoc `validateRequiredParams` checks.
+
+**Why it matters:** The server advertises strict schemas, but the `CallTool` path forwards `arguments` directly to handlers. That means nested constraints like `minItems`, `anyOf`, nullability, object shape, and type checks are not actually enforced at runtime. This is especially risky for bulk issue inputs and agent payloads.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- Tool calls are dispatched without schema validation: `src\index.ts:80-92`
+- Runtime validation only checks presence of selected required fields: `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts:178-193`
+- The repo tests the schema metadata itself, not runtime enforcement: `src\__tests__\tool-contracts.test.ts:21-144`
+- Example schemas that look strict but are not enforced server-side: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:245-260,365-372,814-876`
+
+**Consensus:** manual, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
+
+### 4. **High** — Fix `linear_create_project_with_issues` to fail fast when project creation is incomplete
+
+**Recommendation:** Before creating any issues, require both a successful project-create result and a concrete `projectId`, and reuse the safer lower-level orchestration instead of duplicating a weaker version in the handler.
+
+**Why it matters:** The public MCP handler can proceed with `projectId: undefined`, because it never proves project creation succeeded or returned an ID. That can create issues detached from the intended project and drifts from the safer helper already implemented in the GraphQL client. Separately, if issue creation fails after the project is created, the current flow returns an error without rollback or a partial-success contract, leaving an orphaned project behind.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- Handler extracts `projectId` and immediately fans into issue creation without guarding it: `src\features\projects\handlers\project.handler.ts:120-149`
+- The lower-level helper already contains the missing success and project-ID guards: `src\graphql\client.ts:210-245`
+- There is no direct test coverage for `handleCreateProjectWithIssues` in the project handler tests: `src\__tests__\project-handler.test.ts:1-110`
+
+**Consensus:** manual, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
+
+### 5. **Medium** — Fix bulk delete end to end before relying on it
+
+**Recommendation:** First verify and fix the lower-level batch-delete mutation, then route `linear_delete_issues` through that corrected bulk path. If per-item deletion must remain temporarily, return per-ID outcomes instead of a single all-or-nothing `Promise.all` failure.
+
+**Why it matters:** The create and update bulk paths use batch semantics, but delete still fans out into N single deletions. That increases API usage, rate-limit exposure, and partial-failure ambiguity. More importantly, the unused lower-level bulk-delete helper is itself suspicious: it calls `issueDelete(ids: $ids)` while the adjacent single-delete mutation uses `issueDelete(id: $id)`, and its only coverage is mock-based. If someone wires it in as-is, they may replace one reliability bug with another.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- The public issue handler does per-item deletes with `Promise.all`: `src\features\issues\handlers\issue.handler.ts:242-253`
+- The GraphQL client exposes an unused batch delete helper: `src\graphql\client.ts:338-342`
+- The batch mutation shape is internally inconsistent with the single-delete mutation: `src\graphql\mutations.ts:148-162`
+- The lower-level client has only mock-based tests for that path, and the handler does not use it: `src\__tests__\graphql-client.test.ts:669-692`
+
+**Consensus:** manual, GPT-4.1, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
+
+### 6. **Medium** — Tighten the agent workflow surface and add direct regression coverage
+
+**Recommendation:** Replace freeform agent objects with narrower schemas where possible, add explicit bounds/required subfields for the remaining flexible payloads, and add dedicated tests for agent tool contracts and handler behavior.
+
+**Why it matters:** The agent surface is the loosest contract in the repo. `plan`, `content`, `contextualMetadata`, `signalMetadata`, `filter`, and `userState` entries are all effectively arbitrary objects, and because the server does not enforce schemas at dispatch time, malformed or unexpectedly large payloads flow straight to the SDK. This is also the least-tested area relative to its flexibility.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `looseObjectProp` allows unrestricted objects: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:33-37`
+- Agent tools rely heavily on that unconstrained schema helper: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:814-876`
+- Agent type safety is inferred from SDK params rather than reinforced with repo-owned validation: `src\features\agents\types\agent.types.ts:12-29`
+- The reviewed test suite has no dedicated `agent-handler` or agent contract coverage under `src\__tests__\`
+
+**Consensus:** manual, GPT-4.1, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
+
+### 7. **Medium** — Make `stateId` and `states` mutually exclusive or merge them predictably
+
+**Recommendation:** Reject requests that send both `stateId` and `states`, or combine them explicitly instead of silently overwriting one with the other.
+
+**Why it matters:** The issue filter builder first sets `filter.state` from `stateId` and then overwrites it if `states` is present. Because both inputs are advertised side by side in the tool schema, an MCP client or AI agent can reasonably send both and get surprising search/list results with no warning.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- `stateId` is assigned first and then overwritten by `states`: `src\features\issues\handlers\issue.handler.ts:330-336`
+- Both fields are advertised in the issue tool schemas: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:267-273,283-288`
+
+**Consensus:** Opus, manual validation
+
+### 8. **Low** — Stop forwarding raw Linear response headers in MCP error payloads
+
+**Recommendation:** Remove raw upstream headers from structured error responses, or whitelist only the few headers that are genuinely useful for client-side correlation.
+
+**Why it matters:** GraphQL failures currently include the normalized upstream response headers in `structuredContent.error.graphql.headers`. That exposes more transport metadata than most MCP clients need and can leak request correlation or rate-limit internals unnecessarily.
+
+**Evidence**
+
+- Handler errors include the serialized GraphQL result: `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts:102-116`
+- The GraphQL serializer forwards all normalized headers verbatim: `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts:214-246`
+
+**Consensus:** Sonnet, manual validation
+
+## Suggested implementation order
+
+1. Fix OAuth state generation/consumption and session scoping.
+2. Add server-side schema enforcement on the `CallTool` path.
+3. Correct `linear_create_project_with_issues` to reuse or match the safer lower-level flow.
+4. Move delete into the true bulk path.
+5. Tighten and test the agent surface.
+6. Resolve filter-field conflicts such as `stateId` vs `states`.
+7. Trim unnecessary upstream metadata from structured error payloads.

+# Copilot Review: Linear MCP
+
+This review combines **GitNexus graph analysis** with direct inspection of the runtime boundary and the files that sit on the highest-traffic execution paths:
+
+- `src/index.ts`
+- `src/core/handlers/base.handler.ts`
+- `src/core/handlers/handler.factory.ts`
+- `src/core/validation/tool-validator.ts`
+- `src/graphql/client.ts`
+- `src/auth.ts`
+- `src/features/issues/handlers/issue.handler.ts`
+- `src/features/subscriptions/handlers/subscription.handler.ts`
+- `src/__tests__/runtime-server.test.ts`
+- `scripts/verify-packaged-install.mjs`
+
+## GitNexus snapshot
+
+- Indexed repo: **899 symbols**, **2670 relationships**, **67 execution flows**, **39 communities**
+- Most central execution symbols by process participation:
+  - `verifyAuth` - 36 flows
+  - `ensureAuthenticatedClient` - 28 flows
+  - `executeSdk` - 28 flows
+  - `createErrorResult` - 28 flows
+- Largest classes by graph size:
+  - `LinearGraphQLClient` - 45 methods, `src/graphql/client.ts`
+  - `IssueHandler` - 25 methods, `src/features/issues/handlers/issue.handler.ts`
+  - `LinearAuth` - 18 methods, `src/auth.ts`
+  - `LinearServer` - 11 methods, `src/index.ts`
+
+**Takeaway:** the main architectural center of gravity is the auth -> handler -> GraphQL boundary. That is where the code is strongest today, and also where the most valuable performance and troubleshooting improvements sit.
+
+## Executive assessment
+
+The codebase already follows several strong best-practice patterns:
+
+- input validation happens before handler dispatch,
+- auth and session scope are explicit,
+- GraphQL failures are sanitized into structured MCP errors,
+- runtime capabilities are advertised honestly,
+- release validation checks the **built package**, not just source code.
+
+The main gaps are:
+
+1. **Performance:** handler dispatch does unnecessary object allocation on every tool call, and some bulk workflows fan out without concurrency limits.
+2. **Reliability:** retryable failures are detected but not retried, and network calls do not show explicit timeout budgets.
+3. **Troubleshooting:** runtime diagnostics are good at startup and on explicit failures, but thin for tracing live request behavior.
+
+## Performance review
+
+| Pattern | Assessment | Evidence | Review |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Validator compilation is cached at startup | **Strong** | `src/core/validation/tool-validator.ts:25-43` | AJV validators are compiled once and stored in a `Map`, which avoids repeated schema compilation during tool execution. |
+| GraphQL documents are loaded lazily | **Good** | `src/graphql/client.ts:193-205`, `207-217`, `302-330`, `497-549` | Dynamic imports keep startup lighter. Because ESM caches modules, repeated calls should pay only the first-load cost. |
+| Handler dispatch allocates far too much per call | **Needs improvement** | `src/core/handlers/handler.factory.ts:46-167` | `getHandlerForTool()` rebuilds the entire tool-to-handler map and creates many fresh handler instances every time a tool is called. This is the clearest avoidable hot-path cost in the repo. |
+| Bulk issue operations use unbounded fan-out | **Needs improvement** | `src/features/issues/handlers/issue.handler.ts:124-136`, `247-272` | `Promise.all()` over user-provided ID arrays can create bursty traffic against Linear and increase rate-limit pressure. |
+| Large multi-purpose classes concentrate runtime work | **Watch** | GitNexus size/method-count analysis; `src/graphql/client.ts`, `src/features/issues/handlers/issue.handler.ts` | This is more of a performance-maintainability risk than a raw latency bug, but it makes targeted optimization harder. |
+
+### Performance recommendations
+
+1. **Replace per-call handler map construction with a static registry.**  
+   Store `{ handlerType, methodName }` metadata once, then memoize one handler instance per auth context or per feature.
+
+2. **Add bounded concurrency to bulk workflows.**  
+   A small concurrency cap for update/delete loops would reduce avoidable 429s while keeping throughput predictable.
+
+3. **Treat `LinearGraphQLClient` and `IssueHandler` as optimization boundaries.**  
+   They are the two biggest hotspots in the graph and should be the first files profiled or split when performance work starts.
+
+## Reliability review
+
+| Pattern | Assessment | Evidence | Review |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Tool input is validated before handler dispatch | **Strong** | `src/index.ts:142-158`, `src/core/validation/tool-validator.ts:49-74`, `src/__tests__/runtime-server.test.ts:122-155` | This is exactly the right boundary. Bad payloads fail early and do not leak into business logic. |
+| Auth/session boundaries are explicit | **Strong** | `src/auth.ts:57-114`, `131-144`, `200-228`; `src/index.ts:347-376`; `src/__tests__/runtime-server.test.ts:239-348` | Single-use OAuth state and session-scoped auth copies are a solid reliability pattern, especially for stream transport. |
+| GraphQL failures are sanitized and structured | **Strong** | `src/core/handlers/base.handler.ts:103-145`, `215-309`; `src/__tests__/runtime-server.test.ts:161-233` | The code preserves retryability, status, and request ID while stripping unsafe headers and extension fields. This is a strong production-grade pattern. |
+| Runtime capability gating is honest | **Strong** | `src/core/types/tool.types.ts:1143-1150`, `src/features/subscriptions/handlers/subscription.handler.ts:30-88` | Subscription tools are only advertised when supported, and unsupported calls fail with a structured capability response. |
+| Multi-step workflow compensation is explicit | **Strong** | `src/graphql/client.ts:214-275`, `711-767` | `createProjectWithIssues()` returns partial-state details and attempts compensation instead of hiding failure. That is the right reliability posture for composite writes. |
+| Retryable failures are detected but not acted on | **Gap** | `src/graphql/client.ts:684-699`, `src/core/handlers/base.handler.ts:103-117` | The code correctly classifies retryable failures but does not wrap safe operations in backoff/retry behavior. |
+| No explicit timeout budget is visible on external calls | **Gap** | `src/auth.ts:283-320` | OAuth token exchange uses `fetch()` without `AbortController` or explicit timeout handling. The same concern likely applies to SDK/raw GraphQL calls unless enforced below the current abstraction. |
+
+### Reliability recommendations
+
+1. **Add a narrow retry policy for safe operations.**  
+   Use the existing `retryable` classification, but only for idempotent reads or carefully chosen writes.
+
+2. **Add explicit timeout budgets around external calls.**  
+   Timeouts are reliability features because they turn hangs into failures that can be surfaced and retried intentionally.
+
+3. **Keep the compensation pattern.**  
+   `createProjectWithIssues()` is one of the better reliability designs in the repo and should be the template for future multi-step workflows.
+
+## Troubleshooting review
+
+| Pattern | Assessment | Evidence | Review |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Startup diagnostics include build provenance and auth state | **Strong** | `src/index.ts:275-287`, `README.md:236-242`, `scripts/verify-packaged-install.mjs:95-135` | This makes stale builds and bad auth setup much easier to spot quickly. |
+| Runtime capabilities are introspectable | **Strong** | `src/features/subscriptions/handlers/subscription.handler.ts:15-27`, `src/__tests__/runtime-server.test.ts:41-70` | `linear_get_capabilities` is a useful diagnostic surface and should stay central to support workflows. |
+| Error payloads expose sanitized request IDs | **Strong** | `src/core/handlers/base.handler.ts:219-245`, `292-309`; `src/__tests__/runtime-server.test.ts:161-233` | This is exactly the kind of data needed for vendor support and cross-system incident debugging. |
+| Packaged-install smoke tests defend against stale or broken releases | **Strong** | `package.json:24-30`, `scripts/verify-packaged-install.mjs:76-135` | The repo validates the shipped package, not just local TypeScript behavior. That is a strong operational practice. |
+| Runtime observability is still sparse | **Needs improvement** | `src/index.ts:199`, `246`, `275-286`, `410` | Current logging is mostly startup and top-level error output. There is no structured per-tool logging, latency data, or request correlation at the server boundary. |
+| No lightweight diagnostics for live server health | **Needs improvement** | No equivalent beyond capability metadata | There is no cheap way to inspect session count, rate-limit frequency, refresh failures, or recent error trends. |
+| Production auth file contains implementation-history notes | **Needs improvement** | `src/auth.ts:6-22` | The "Solution Attempts" comment block documents past experiments rather than current behavior. That can mislead future maintainers during incident work. |
+
+### Troubleshooting recommendations
+
+1. **Add structured per-tool request logs.**  
+   At minimum: tool name, duration, transport, success/error, and sanitized Linear request ID when available.
+
+2. **Add a lightweight diagnostics surface.**  
+   Even a low-cost summary of session count, auth mode, recent rate-limit hits, and refresh failures would improve supportability.
+
+3. **Keep startup diagnostics and capability introspection as first-line support tools.**  
+   They are already some of the strongest troubleshooting patterns in the project.
+
+## Highest-value changes to make first
+
+1. **Fix handler dispatch allocation overhead** in `HandlerFactory`.
+2. **Add bounded concurrency** to batch issue update/delete workflows.
+3. **Add retry + timeout policy** around Linear-facing calls.
+4. **Add structured request logging** at the MCP boundary.
+5. **Split `LinearGraphQLClient` and `IssueHandler`** into smaller execution units as the codebase grows.
+
+## Patterns worth preserving
+
+- Pre-dispatch schema validation
+- Honest capability advertisement and capability errors
+- Session-scoped auth isolation for stream transport
+- Sanitized structured GraphQL failures with request IDs
+- Compensation reporting for multi-step writes
+- Built-package verification before release
+
+## Bottom line
+
+This is a **well-structured boundary-first codebase**. Its strongest qualities are correctness at the MCP edge, explicit auth/session handling, and release safety. The next maturity step is to improve **runtime efficiency and observability** so the server is not only correct, but also easier to operate under load and faster to debug when Linear or client behavior gets messy.

+## Context
+
+The runtime already exposes strong startup provenance and sanitized structured failures, but live troubleshooting still depends on sparse startup logs and ad hoc reproduction. The review identified two missing layers: structured per-request telemetry at the MCP boundary, and a lightweight diagnostics surface that reports live operational state without exposing secrets.
+
+This change crosses request handling, session tracking, handler wiring, tool schemas, and operator documentation. A design is useful because the diagnostics surface should add observability without breaking MCP transports, leaking sensitive data, or turning the server into a verbose logging system by default.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Emit structured per-tool request telemetry that is safe for both stdio and stream runtimes.
+- Expose a lightweight, read-only runtime diagnostics surface for troubleshooting live health signals.
+- Keep diagnostics sanitized so secrets, raw headers, and upstream payload bodies do not leak.
+- Document how telemetry, runtime diagnostics, and capability discovery fit together for operator troubleshooting.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Build a full metrics backend, tracing pipeline, or external log shipper integration.
+- Persist long-term operational history across process restarts.
+- Expose secrets, raw request bodies, or sensitive upstream headers through logs or diagnostics.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Emit structured telemetry at the MCP boundary to stderr
+
+Request telemetry should be produced at the MCP server boundary, where tool name, transport, duration, and final outcome are all known. For stdio compatibility, telemetry should be emitted to stderr in a structured format rather than stdout, which is reserved for MCP protocol traffic.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Log inside each individual handler: rejected because it duplicates logic and misses consistent cross-cutting fields such as total duration.
+- Emit logs to stdout: rejected because MCP stdio transport depends on stdout remaining protocol-only.
+
+### 2. Add a dedicated read-only diagnostics tool instead of overloading capabilities
+
+Static runtime capabilities and live operational diagnostics solve different problems. The server should keep `linear_get_capabilities` focused on transport and packaged runtime support, and introduce a dedicated diagnostics tool for live state such as active sessions and recent failure counters.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Extend `linear_get_capabilities` with live counters: rejected because it mixes static capability discovery with volatile runtime health data.
+- Rely on logs alone: rejected because operators also need an on-demand snapshot tool.
+
+### 3. Track low-cardinality in-memory counters and sanitized identifiers only
+
+The diagnostics surface should use in-memory counters and summaries that are cheap to maintain and safe to expose: total requests, error counts, active stream sessions, recent retryable failures, auth refresh failures, and sanitized upstream request IDs when available. It should not retain tokens, auth headers, raw payloads, or unbounded request history.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Store full recent request histories: rejected because it increases memory and privacy risk without being necessary for a first troubleshooting surface.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Telemetry adds runtime overhead]** -> Keep fields low-cardinality and compute them once at the boundary.
+- **[Diagnostics can leak sensitive data if they mirror raw errors]** -> Reuse the existing sanitization posture and explicitly exclude headers, tokens, and request bodies.
+- **[In-memory counters reset on restart]** -> Treat the tool as a live troubleshooting surface, not a persistent audit system.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Add MCP-boundary telemetry emission with consistent success and failure fields.
+2. Introduce a diagnostics feature or handler and wire a read-only diagnostics tool into the runtime.
+3. Track low-cardinality counters for requests, failures, retries, auth refresh failures, and active stream sessions.
+4. Update tests and README guidance to cover diagnostics behavior and sanitization.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the first diagnostics response include per-tool counters, or start with aggregated totals plus the most recent failure summaries only?

+
+The server has strong startup diagnostics and structured failure payloads, but it still offers little visibility into live request behavior once the process is running. Without structured per-tool telemetry or a lightweight runtime diagnostics surface, troubleshooting latency spikes, rate limits, auth refresh problems, and session growth is slower than it needs to be.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add structured MCP-boundary request telemetry with tool name, transport, duration, outcome, and sanitized upstream request identifiers when available.
+- Add a lightweight runtime diagnostics surface for live operational state, including transport, auth scope or mode, session counts, and recent failure counters that help troubleshoot without attaching a debugger.
+- Document how operators use startup provenance, `linear_get_capabilities`, structured request logs, and runtime diagnostics together when troubleshooting.
+- Add focused tests that verify diagnostics stay sanitized and telemetry remains stable across stdio and stream runtimes.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `mcp-request-telemetry`: the server emits structured, sanitized per-tool telemetry for request execution and failure analysis.
+- `runtime-operational-diagnostics`: operators can query lightweight live diagnostics for server health and troubleshooting signals without exposing secrets.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `src\index.ts`, `src\features\subscriptions\handlers\subscription.handler.ts`, any new diagnostics handler or tool schema, and runtime support code that tracks counters or session metrics.
+- Affected behavior: operators gain consistent logs and a live diagnostics surface for troubleshooting without changing core tool semantics.
+- Affected verification: runtime tests and packaged-install guidance should cover diagnostics output, sanitization, and transport-aware behavior.

+## Context
+
+The runtime already classifies upstream failures as retryable based on status codes and GraphQL error metadata, but it does not use that signal to recover safe operations. The code also lacks explicit timeout budgets at the Linear-facing boundary, especially in OAuth token exchange and the shared GraphQL client. As a result, transient failures fail too eagerly while hung requests can take too long to surface.
+
+This change touches auth, raw GraphQL execution, SDK-backed helpers, and structured MCP error reporting. A design is useful because timeout and retry policy must be centralized enough to stay consistent, while still protecting non-idempotent mutations from accidental duplicate execution.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Enforce explicit timeout budgets for external auth and Linear-facing requests.
+- Add bounded retry and backoff for approved safe operations when failures are classified as retryable.
+- Keep unsafe writes off automatic retry paths unless they opt in explicitly.
+- Preserve structured MCP errors so timeout and retry exhaustion remain diagnosable.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Introduce transactional guarantees that the upstream Linear API does not provide.
+- Add blanket automatic retries to all mutations.
+- Build a full circuit breaker or distributed resiliency framework in this change.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Centralize timeout and retry policy in a shared request-policy layer
+
+Timeout and retry behavior should live in one shared request-policy helper that can be used by OAuth token exchange, raw GraphQL execution, and approved SDK-backed operations. That keeps the semantics aligned and prevents drift across multiple ad hoc wrappers.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Add timeouts and retries independently in `auth.ts` and `client.ts`: rejected because policy drift is likely over time.
+- Rely on upstream SDK defaults: rejected because the current boundary already needs its own structured error behavior.
+
+### 2. Retry only approved safe operations
+
+The retry policy should be opt-in for operations that are known to be safe to repeat, such as reads and other idempotent calls. Non-idempotent writes should remain single-attempt by default unless their workflow explicitly proves retry safety.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Retry every operation with a retryable error: rejected because duplicate writes can corrupt caller expectations.
+- Never retry anything automatically: rejected because it leaves easy resilience wins on the table for reads.
+
+### 3. Treat timeout as part of the structured MCP failure contract
+
+When a request exceeds its time budget or exhausts bounded retries, the MCP boundary should still return a structured error that preserves the operation name and retryability context. That keeps timeout policy observable instead of turning it into a hidden implementation detail.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Let timeout failures bubble up as generic internal errors: rejected because it weakens troubleshooting at the MCP boundary.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Retries increase total latency before failure]** -> Keep attempt counts low and combine them with explicit per-attempt timeout budgets.
+- **[Timeout budgets can be tuned too aggressively]** -> Start with conservative defaults and validate them with focused tests around auth and GraphQL paths.
+- **[SDK calls may not support native cancellation uniformly]** -> Apply timeout policy at the wrapper layer and keep failure shaping consistent even if cancellation falls back to bounded waiting.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Introduce a shared request-policy helper for timeout and bounded retry behavior.
+2. Apply timeout enforcement to OAuth token exchange and the shared Linear client boundary.
+3. Opt approved safe reads into retry policy while keeping mutations single-attempt unless explicitly safe.
+4. Add focused tests for timeout enforcement, retry exhaustion, and non-retry behavior on unsafe writes.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should future operator tuning expose retry and timeout settings, or should the first version stay on repository-controlled constants only?

+## Why
+
+The server already identifies retryable upstream failures, but it does not act on that signal, and external calls do not advertise explicit timeout budgets. That leaves safe reads vulnerable to transient Linear or network failures and makes hung requests harder to fail fast, diagnose, and recover from predictably.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Introduce explicit timeout budgets for OAuth token exchange and Linear-facing SDK or raw GraphQL operations.
+- Add bounded retry and backoff for approved safe operations when the existing error classifier marks a failure as retryable.
+- Keep non-idempotent write paths opt-in for retry behavior so the server does not silently duplicate unsafe mutations.
+- Add focused tests and documentation for timeout and retry behavior at the MCP boundary.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `linear-request-time-budgets`: Linear-facing requests fail within documented timeout budgets instead of hanging indefinitely.
+- `retryable-linear-request-recovery`: approved safe Linear operations retry bounded transient failures using the server's retryable error classification.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `src\auth.ts`, `src\graphql\client.ts`, `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts`, and any shared request-policy helper introduced for timeouts and retries.
+- Affected behavior: safe reads become more resilient to transient upstream failures, while long-running or hung requests fail in a controlled, diagnosable way.
+- Affected verification: runtime, auth, and GraphQL client tests should cover timeout enforcement, bounded retries, and non-retry behavior for unsafe writes.

+## Context
+
+The review surfaced two related runtime inefficiencies. First, `HandlerFactory.getHandlerForTool()` rebuilds the full tool-to-handler map and allocates many handler instances for every MCP tool call, even though the routing table is static. Second, issue bulk workflows use unbounded `Promise.all`, which can burst upstream Linear traffic when users submit large batches.
+
+This change crosses core dispatch, auth-aware handler construction, and issue workflow execution. A design is useful because the implementation has to improve performance without breaking auth isolation, MCP response semantics, or existing transport behavior.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Replace per-call handler-map construction with a stable dispatch registry.
+- Reuse compatible handler instances within the same auth context without leaking across sessions.
+- Add bounded concurrency to bulk Linear fan-out workflows, starting with issue update and delete.
+- Preserve current MCP tool contracts while making runtime behavior more predictable under load.
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Redesign the entire feature-handler architecture.
+- Add benchmark infrastructure or operator-facing concurrency tuning in this change.
+- Change unrelated issue or project tool response shapes beyond what is needed to preserve existing semantics.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Use a static dispatch registry plus auth-scoped handler caching
+
+The handler routing table should be defined once as metadata instead of recreated for every request. `HandlerFactory` should resolve handler instances from that static registry and cache them per auth context so repeated calls reuse the same compatible feature handler instead of rebuilding the entire map.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Keep building the map per call: rejected because the tool surface is already large and the cost scales with every invocation.
+- Reuse one global handler instance for all requests: rejected because stream transport requires strict session-scoped auth isolation.
+
+### 2. Introduce one shared bounded-concurrency helper for fan-out workflows
+
+The server should use one shared helper for batch workflows that execute many upstream operations independently. That helper should cap concurrent in-flight operations while preserving input order for collected results and allowing callers to choose whether failures are settled or thrown.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Leave `Promise.all` in place and only document the risk: rejected because it does not reduce rate-limit pressure.
+- Make all batch work sequential: rejected because it sacrifices too much throughput for moderate batch sizes.
+
+### 3. Preserve handler and MCP response semantics while changing execution strategy
+
+This change should improve how work is scheduled and resolved, not redefine the public response model. Handlers that currently surface per-item failures, such as bulk delete, should keep doing so. Handlers that currently behave as a single workflow may continue to fail as a workflow, but they should execute through the bounded helper internally.
+
+**Alternatives considered**
+- Use the performance change to redesign all batch responses: rejected because that broadens scope and makes the proposal harder to implement safely.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Handler caching could leak auth across sessions]** -> Scope handler reuse to the current `LinearAuth` instance and keep stream sessions isolated.
+- **[Concurrency limits can reduce peak throughput]** -> Use a modest default cap that avoids bursts while still allowing parallelism.
+- **[A shared helper can hide workflow-specific semantics]** -> Keep the helper low-level and let each handler choose ordered aggregation versus per-item settled outcomes.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Replace ad hoc handler-map construction with a static registry and auth-scoped handler cache.
+2. Add a shared bounded-concurrency helper and migrate bulk issue update and delete to it.
+3. Add targeted runtime and issue-handler tests that lock in registry stability, auth isolation, and bounded execution behavior.
+4. Expand the helper to other fan-out workflows only after the first handlers are verified.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the bounded concurrency limit remain an internal constant for now, or is there a compelling operator use case for making it configurable later?

+## Why
+
+The runtime spends avoidable work on every MCP tool call by rebuilding a full handler map and creating many short-lived handler instances in `HandlerFactory`. Bulk issue workflows also fan out with unbounded `Promise.all`, which raises the risk of bursty upstream traffic and unnecessary Linear rate-limit pressure as request sizes grow.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Replace per-call handler map construction with a precomputed dispatch registry and stable handler resolution for each auth context.
+- Add bounded concurrency for bulk issue workflows that fan out to Linear one item at a time, starting with issue update and delete paths.
+- Preserve current MCP response shapes while making bulk workflow execution more predictable under larger input sets.
+- Add focused tests that lock in dispatch-path behavior and concurrency limits so performance regressions do not drift back in silently.
+

+### New Capabilities
+- `runtime-dispatch-efficiency`: MCP tool dispatch resolves handlers from a precomputed registry instead of rebuilding the full tool map on every invocation.

+- Affected behavior: dispatch overhead becomes stable per request, and large bulk issue operations become less bursty against Linear.
+- Affected verification: runtime and issue handler tests should assert handler reuse or registry stability and bounded bulk execution behavior.

+# Code Review: Linear MCP Server
+
+## Overview
+
+This review covers the Linear MCP server codebase, focusing on performance, best practices, reliability, and security. The codebase is a TypeScript project implementing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Linear, providing tools for managing issues, projects, comments, etc. The architecture uses handlers, authentication, and runtime capabilities.
+
+## Performance
+
+### Strengths
+- **Concurrency control**: The `mapWithConcurrencyLimit` utility prevents overwhelming external APIs.
+- **Request policies**: Configurable timeouts and retries (`RequestPolicyOptions`) help avoid hanging requests.
+- **Caching**: `WeakMap` used in `HandlerFactory` for handler caching avoids memory leaks and re‑creates handlers per auth instance appropriately.
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+- **GraphQL query efficiency**: Ensure that GraphQL queries are minimal and use pagination where applicable (e.g., `first`/`after`). The existing `list` operations appear to support pagination, but the actual queries should be audited.
+- **Streaming sessions cleanup**: The `streamSessions` map in `LinearServer` holds server references; ensure they are properly removed on session end to prevent memory accumulation.
+- **Large payloads**: Some handlers may return large arrays (e.g., listing all issues). Consider implementing response size limits or encouraging filtering.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Strengths
+- **Separation of concerns**: Clear division between features (issues, projects, comments) and layers (handlers, types, validation).
+- **TypeScript usage**: Strong typing across most of the codebase, with dedicated interfaces for inputs and outputs.
+- **Error handling**: Consistent use of `try/catch` in handlers and structured error responses (`BaseToolResponse` with `isError` flag).
+- **Validation**: `ToolValidatorRegistry` uses AJV for JSON schema validation, providing clear error messages.
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+- **`any` types**: Some handler methods (e.g., `handleAuth(args: any)`) accept `any`, reducing type safety. Replace with concrete interfaces.
+- **Missing async/await hygiene**: A few places may call async functions without `await` (e.g., inside `Promise.all`). Review for unhandled rejections.
+- **Code duplication**: Similar validation patterns appear across handlers; consider extracting common validation logic into a shared utility.
+- **Documentation**: Many methods lack JSDoc comments. Adding documentation would improve maintainability.
+
+## Reliability
+
+### Strengths
+- **Retry logic**: The `LinearGraphQLClient` includes retry mechanisms for transient failures.
+- **Authentication resilience**: OAuth flow includes state verification and token refresh handling.
+- **Graceful shutdown**: The `LinearServer.close()` method attempts to clean up all resources (HTTP servers, stream sessions).
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+- **Unhandled promise rejections**: Ensure all async operations are wrapped in try/catch or have a `.catch`. The `withStdioClient` pattern should guarantee error propagation.
+- **Circular dependencies**: The import graph between `core` and `features` should be checked for cycles (e.g., `HandlerFactory` depends on runtime capabilities, which may import feature modules).
+- **Testing gaps**: While unit tests exist for some handlers, there may be insufficient integration tests for the full OAuth flow and error scenarios.
+
+## Security
+
+### Strengths
+- **OAuth implementation**: Uses PKCE‑like state parameter and secure token exchange. Tokens are stored in memory, not persisted to disk.
+- **Environment variable filtering**: `buildProcessEnv` filters out empty strings, preventing accidental empty values from being used.
+- **Input validation**: All tool arguments are validated via JSON schemas before processing, mitigating injection risks.
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+- **Sensitive data logging**: Ensure that tokens, API keys, and user data are never logged, even in debug mode. Review `RuntimeObservability` telemetry for potential exposure.
+- **HTTP headers security**: If serving HTTP endpoints (stream transport), implement security headers (CSP, HSTS) and ensure TLS in production.
+- **Dependency vulnerabilities**: Regularly audit dependencies (e.g., `ajv`, `@linear/sdk`) for known vulnerabilities.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Replace `any` types** – Define explicit interfaces for all handler arguments.
+2. **Add comprehensive integration tests** – Cover OAuth flows, error paths, and concurrency scenarios.
+3. **Implement a health check endpoint** – For stream transport, provide a lightweight `/health` endpoint to monitor server status.
+4. **Adopt a logging library** – Replace `console` usage with a structured logger (e.g., `pino` or `winston`) for better log management.
+5. **Conduct a security audit** – Focus on token storage, session management, and HTTP header security.
+6. **Monitor memory usage** – Profile long‑running processes for potential leaks, especially in the stream session management.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The Linear MCP server is a well‑structured codebase with good attention to error handling and validation. By addressing the above points, the project can further improve its performance, maintainability, and security posture.

# Code Review: Linear MCP Server (Kimi Analysis)

## Overview

This review analyzes the Linear MCP server codebase with specific focus on the runtime, concurrency, request policy, GraphQL client, and testing infrastructure implementations. The codebase demonstrates sophisticated TypeScript patterns for API resilience, concurrent operations, and observability.

## Performance Analysis

### Strengths

**Worker Pool Concurrency Implementation**
The `mapWithConcurrencyLimit` function in `src/core/concurrency.ts` implements an efficient worker pool pattern that maintains memory bounds regardless of input size. By using `workerCount = Math.min(concurrency, items.length)` and tracking `nextIndex` atomically across workers, it prevents the memory explosion that would occur with `Promise.all(Array.from({length: items.length}, ...))`.

**AbortController Integration**
The request policy implementation in `src/core/request-policy.ts` properly utilizes `AbortController` for timeout handling, ensuring that underlying HTTP requests are actually cancelled rather than just ignoring responses. The `signal` listener cleanup with `{ once: true }` prevents event listener leaks.

**Lazy Query Loading**
`src/graphql/client.ts` uses dynamic imports for GraphQL operations (`await import('./mutations.js')`), enabling code splitting and reducing initial bundle size. This is particularly effective for a CLI tool where not all operations are used in every session.

**Telemetry Compaction**
The `compactRecord` method in `src/core/runtime-observability.ts` filters undefined values and falsy flags before logging, reducing log volume and I/O overhead.

### Areas for Improvement

**Repeated Dynamic Imports**
While dynamic imports enable code splitting, the current implementation in `src/graphql/client.ts` re-imports mutation/query modules on every method call. In a long-running process, these repeated imports may cause module cache lookups and minor GC pressure. Consider caching these imports at the module level or implementing an import-once pattern.

**GraphQL Query Construction**
The `searchIssues` method constructs filter objects through `buildIssueIdentifierFilter` which uses `compactObject` and `asRecord` utilities. This object manipulation on every search call adds overhead. Consider memoizing identifier parsing for repeated searches.

**JSON Serialization in Telemetry**
The `recordTelemetry` method uses `JSON.stringify(this.compactRecord(record))` on every request. For high-throughput scenarios, consider:
- Using a structured logger that accepts objects directly
- Implementing sampling for high-frequency operations
- Batching telemetry records before output

**Array Pre-allocation**
In `mapWithConcurrencyLimit`, the results array is pre-allocated with `new Array<TResult>(items.length)`. While this is memory-efficient, consider whether sparse arrays (when concurrency < items.length during execution) cause deoptimization in V8.

## Best Practices Analysis

[... rest of the content remains the same as in the previous response ...]

The document follows the standard markdown format for a code review. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the codebase, focusing on performance, best practices, reliability, and security aspects of the Linear MCP server implementation.

Would you like me to elaborate on any specific section or provide more detailed recommendations?

+
+**Test Helper Complexity**
+`src/__tests__/helpers/runtime-smoke.ts` creates sophisticated mock environments. The `TestLinearAuth` class extends `LinearAuth` and overrides methods, which creates tight coupling to the implementation. Consider using interface-based mocking or dependency injection instead of class inheritance for tests.
+
+## Reliability Analysis
+
+### Strengths
+
+**Request Policy Resilience**
+The `executeWithRequestPolicy` function implements a robust retry mechanism with:
+- Exponential backoff calculation (`retryDelayMs * attempt`)
+- Attempt context passing for cancellation signals
+- Proper cleanup of AbortController listeners
+- Last error preservation for final throw
+
+**GraphQL Error Normalization**
+`src/graphql/client.ts` provides sophisticated error handling:
+- `normalizeErrors` converts unknown error shapes into structured `GraphQLErrorDetail` objects
+- `isRetryable` checks both HTTP status codes and GraphQL error codes
+- `createErrorResult` ensures consistent error shapes even for unexpected exceptions
+
+**Compensation Transactions**
+The `createProjectWithIssues` method implements saga pattern compensation:
+- If issue creation fails after project creation, it attempts to delete the orphaned project
+- Returns detailed failure context including `compensationAttempted` and `compensationSucceeded` flags
+- Preserves partial results (`project`, `issues`) for debugging
+
+**Safe SDK Operations**
+The `SAFE_SDK_READ_OPERATIONS` Set in `src/graphql/client.ts` explicitly whitelists operations that can be safely retried, preventing dangerous retries of mutations that may have already partially executed server-side.
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+
+**AbortController Listener Cleanup**
+In `executeWithTimeout`, the abort listener is added with `{ once: true }`, but if the promise resolves before abort, the listener is removed via `controller.signal.removeEventListener`. However, if `execute` throws synchronously (before the Promise microtask), the `onAbort` listener might not be cleaned up immediately. Consider using `AbortSignal.any` (Node 20+) or ensuring cleanup in a `finally` block.
+
+**Race Condition in Telemetry**
+`RuntimeObservability` maintains counters (`totalRequests`, `successfulRequests`, etc.) as private instance variables. If multiple async operations complete simultaneously, these increments could race. While JavaScript is single-threaded, the async boundary between await points could theoretically allow interleaving. Consider using atomic operations or ensuring these updates happen synchronously.
+
+**GraphQL Client State Management**
+The `LinearGraphQLClient` maintains a reference to `LinearClient` which may hold HTTP connection pools. If `LinearAuth` creates new `LinearClient` instances on token refresh (implied by `createScopedCopy`), old clients might not have their connections cleaned up. Ensure `LinearClient` instances are properly disposed or reused.
+
+**Test Port Reliability**
+`getAvailablePort` in `src/__tests__/helpers/runtime-smoke.ts` binds to port 0 to find an available port, then closes the server. This creates a race condition where another process could bind to that port between `getAvailablePort` returning and the actual test server starting. Consider using port 0 binding directly on the test server with retry logic.
+
+**Error Message Construction**
+The `buildErrorMessage` method in `src/graphql/client.ts` concatenates strings that could potentially be very large (GraphQL error messages). If error messages contain massive query dumps, this could cause memory pressure. Consider truncating error messages:

+# Code Review: Linear MCP Server (Kimi Analysis)
+
+## Overview
+
+This review analyzes the Linear MCP server codebase with specific focus on the runtime, concurrency, request policy, GraphQL client, and testing infrastructure implementations. The codebase demonstrates sophisticated TypeScript patterns for API resilience, concurrent operations, and observability.
+
+## Performance Analysis
+
+### Strengths
+
+**Worker Pool Concurrency Implementation**
+The `mapWithConcurrencyLimit` function in `src/core/concurrency.ts` implements an efficient worker pool pattern that maintains memory bounds regardless of input size. By using `workerCount = Math.min(concurrency, items.length)` and tracking `nextIndex` atomically across workers, it prevents the memory explosion that would occur with `Promise.all(Array.from({length: items.length}, ...))`.
+
+**AbortController Integration**
+The request policy implementation in `src/core/request-policy.ts` properly utilizes `AbortController` for timeout handling, ensuring that underlying HTTP requests are actually cancelled rather than just ignoring responses. The `signal` listener cleanup with `{ once: true }` prevents event listener leaks.
+
+**Lazy Query Loading**
+`src/graphql/client.ts` uses dynamic imports for GraphQL operations (`await import('./mutations.js')`), enabling code splitting and reducing initial bundle size. This is particularly effective for a CLI tool where not all operations are used in every session.
+
+**Telemetry Compaction**
+The `compactRecord` method in `src/core/runtime-observability.ts` filters undefined values and falsy flags before logging, reducing log volume and I/O overhead.
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+
+**Repeated Dynamic Imports**
+While dynamic imports enable code splitting, the current implementation in `src/graphql/client.ts` re-imports mutation/query modules on every method call:
diff --git a/const RETRYABLE_HTTP_STATUS_CODES = [408, 409, 425, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504] as const; b/const RETRYABLE_HTTP_STATUS_CODES = [408, 409, 425, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504] as const;

@@ -0,0 +1,4 @@
+
+**Console Usage in Production**
+`src/core/runtime-observability.ts` uses `console.error(JSON.stringify(...))` for telemetry. In production environments, this bypasses structured logging pipelines and may interleave with other console output. Consider injecting a logger interface:
+
diff --git a/} b/}
index e69de29..d0e848c 100644
--- a/}
+++ b/}
@@ -0,0 +1,50 @@
+In a long-running process, these repeated imports may cause module cache lookups and minor GC pressure. Consider caching these imports at the module level or implementing an import-once pattern.
+
+**GraphQL Query Construction**
+The `searchIssues` method constructs filter objects through `buildIssueIdentifierFilter` which uses `compactObject` and `asRecord` utilities. This object manipulation on every search call adds overhead. Consider memoizing identifier parsing for repeated searches.
+
+**JSON Serialization in Telemetry**
+The `recordTelemetry` method uses `JSON.stringify(this.compactRecord(record))` on every request. For high-throughput scenarios, consider:
+- Using a structured logger that accepts objects directly
+- Implementing sampling for high-frequency operations
+- Batching telemetry records before output
+
+**Array Pre-allocation**
+In `mapWithConcurrencyLimit`, the results array is pre-allocated with `new Array<TResult>(items.length)`. While this is memory-efficient, consider whether sparse arrays (when concurrency < items.length during execution) cause deoptimization in V8.
+
+## Best Practices Analysis
+
+### Strengths
+
+**Strict Type Safety in Concurrency**
+The `mapWithConcurrencyLimit` function properly constrains generic types `TItem` and `TResult`, ensuring type safety across the concurrent mapping operation. The `readonly TItem[]` parameter declaration prevents accidental mutation of input arrays.
+
+**Exhaustive Error Handling**
+`src/core/request-policy.ts` implements comprehensive error propagation:
+- Distinguishes between timeout errors (`RequestTimeoutError`) and execution failures
+- Preserves error stack traces through the Promise chain
+- Implements exponential backoff with `retryDelayMs * attempt`
+
+**Defensive Programming**
+The codebase demonstrates excellent defensive patterns:
+- `Number.isInteger(concurrency) || concurrency < 1` validation prevents invalid concurrency configurations
+- `Math.max(options.timeoutMs, 1)` ensures minimum viable timeout values
+- `WeakMap` usage in handler caching (from summaries) prevents memory leaks
+
+**Structured Telemetry**
+`RuntimeObservability` implements a well-structured telemetry system with:
+- Discriminated unions for success/error outcomes
+- Private type guards (`asRecord`, `readBoolean`, `readNumber`, `readString`)
+- Immutable snapshot creation for diagnostics
+
+### Areas for Improvement
+
+**Type Assertion Usage**
+Several locations use `as` type assertions that could fail silently:
+- `src/core/concurrency.ts`: `items[currentIndex] as TItem` is unnecessary since `items` is already `readonly TItem[]`
+- `src/core/runtime-observability.ts`: Multiple `as Record<string, unknown>` casts bypass type safety
+
+Replace with runtime validation where possible, or remove unnecessary assertions.
+
+**Magic Numbers**
+`src/core/request-policy.ts` contains hardcoded status codes:

Subject: [PATCH 11/11] Add GitNexus skills and docs

Introduce GitNexus MCP guidance and tooling documentation: add six .claude skill files (gitnexus-cli, gitnexus-debugging, gitnexus-exploring, gitnexus-guide, gitnexus-impact-analysis, gitnexus-refactoring) and a new AGENTS.md with policies and usage guidance. Update CLAUDE.md to include the GitNexus overview, workflows, and CLI tips. Update .gitignore to ignore .gitnexus and .aider* artifacts. Remove two outdated Copilot review files (copilotapireview.md and copilotcodereview-2026=04-09.md) as part of cleanup.

+description: "Use when the user needs to run GitNexus CLI commands like analyze/index a repo, check status, clean the index, generate a wiki, or list indexed repos. Examples: \"Index this repo\", \"Reanalyze the codebase\", \"Generate a wiki\""
+---
+
+# GitNexus CLI Commands
+
+All commands work via `npx` — no global install required.
+
+## Commands
+
+### analyze — Build or refresh the index
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus analyze
+```
+
+Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to `.gitnexus/`, and generates CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md context files.
+
+| Flag           | Effect                                                           |
+| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--force`      | Force full re-index even if up to date                           |
+| `--embeddings` | Enable embedding generation for semantic search (off by default) |
+
+**When to run:** First time in a project, after major code changes, or when `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context` reports the index is stale. In Claude Code, a PostToolUse hook runs `analyze` automatically after `git commit` and `git merge`, preserving embeddings if previously generated.
+
+### status — Check index freshness
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus status
+```
+
+Shows whether the current repo has a GitNexus index, when it was last updated, and symbol/relationship counts. Use this to check if re-indexing is needed.
+
+### clean — Delete the index
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus clean
+```
+
+Deletes the `.gitnexus/` directory and unregisters the repo from the global registry. Use before re-indexing if the index is corrupt or after removing GitNexus from a project.
+
+| Flag      | Effect                                            |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--force` | Skip confirmation prompt                          |
+| `--all`   | Clean all indexed repos, not just the current one |
+
+### wiki — Generate documentation from the graph
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus wiki
+```
+
+Generates repository documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. Requires an API key (saved to `~/.gitnexus/config.json` on first use).
+
+| Flag                | Effect                                    |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `--force`           | Force full regeneration                   |
+| `--model <model>`   | LLM model (default: minimax/minimax-m2.5) |
+| `--base-url <url>`  | LLM API base URL                          |
+| `--api-key <key>`   | LLM API key                               |
+| `--concurrency <n>` | Parallel LLM calls (default: 3)           |
+| `--gist`            | Publish wiki as a public GitHub Gist      |
+
+### list — Show all indexed repos
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus list
+```
+
+Lists all repositories registered in `~/.gitnexus/registry.json`. The MCP `list_repos` tool provides the same information.
+
+## After Indexing
+
+1. **Read `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context`** to verify the index loaded
+2. Use the other GitNexus skills (`exploring`, `debugging`, `impact-analysis`, `refactoring`) for your task
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"Not inside a git repository"**: Run from a directory inside a git repo
+- **Index is stale after re-analyzing**: Restart Claude Code to reload the MCP server
+- **Embeddings slow**: Omit `--embeddings` (it's off by default) or set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for faster API-based embedding

+
+**gitnexus_cypher** — custom call chain traces:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH path = (a)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}*1..2]->(b:Function {name: "validatePayment"})

+description: "Use when the user wants to know what will break if they change something, or needs safety analysis before editing code. Examples: \"Is it safe to change X?\", \"What depends on this?\", \"What will break?\""
+---
+
+# Impact Analysis with GitNexus
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Is it safe to change this function?"
+- "What will break if I modify X?"
+- "Show me the blast radius"
+- "Who uses this code?"
+- Before making non-trivial code changes
+- Before committing — to understand what your changes affect
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"})  → What depends on this
+2. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes                   → Check affected execution flows
+3. gitnexus_detect_changes()                               → Map current git changes to affected flows
+4. Assess risk and report to user
+```
+
+> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.
+
+## Checklist
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) to find dependents
+- [ ] Review d=1 items first (these WILL BREAK)
+- [ ] Check high-confidence (>0.8) dependencies
+- [ ] READ processes to check affected execution flows
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() for pre-commit check
+- [ ] Assess risk level and report to user
+```
+
+## Understanding Output
+
+| Depth | Risk Level       | Meaning                  |
+| ----- | ---------------- | ------------------------ |
+| d=1   | **WILL BREAK**   | Direct callers/importers |
+| d=2   | LIKELY AFFECTED  | Indirect dependencies    |
+| d=3   | MAY NEED TESTING | Transitive effects       |
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Affected                       | Risk     |
+| ------------------------------ | -------- |
+| <5 symbols, few processes      | LOW      |
+| 5-15 symbols, 2-5 processes    | MEDIUM   |
+| >15 symbols or many processes  | HIGH     |
+| Critical path (auth, payments) | CRITICAL |
+
+## Tools
+
+**gitnexus_impact** — the primary tool for symbol blast radius:
+
+```
+gitnexus_impact({
+  target: "validateUser",
+  direction: "upstream",
+  minConfidence: 0.8,
+  maxDepth: 3
+})
+
+→ d=1 (WILL BREAK):
+  - loginHandler (src/auth/login.ts:42) [CALLS, 100%]
+  - apiMiddleware (src/api/middleware.ts:15) [CALLS, 100%]
+
+→ d=2 (LIKELY AFFECTED):
+  - authRouter (src/routes/auth.ts:22) [CALLS, 95%]
+```
+
+**gitnexus_detect_changes** — git-diff based impact analysis:
+
+```
+gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "staged"})
+
+→ Changed: 5 symbols in 3 files
+→ Affected: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh, APIMiddlewarePipeline
+→ Risk: MEDIUM
+```
+
+## Example: "What breaks if I change validateUser?"
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_impact({target: "validateUser", direction: "upstream"})
+   → d=1: loginHandler, apiMiddleware (WILL BREAK)
+   → d=2: authRouter, sessionManager (LIKELY AFFECTED)
+
+2. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/processes
+   → LoginFlow and TokenRefresh touch validateUser
+
+3. Risk: 2 direct callers, 2 processes = MEDIUM

+---
+
+# Refactoring with GitNexus
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Rename this function safely"
+- "Extract this into a module"
+- "Split this service"
+- "Move this to a new file"
+- Any task involving renaming, extracting, splitting, or restructuring code
+
+## Workflow

+3. gitnexus_context({name: "X"})                           → See all incoming/outgoing refs
+4. Plan update order: interfaces → implementations → callers → tests
+```
+
+> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.
+
+## Checklists
+
+### Rename Symbol
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "oldName", new_name: "newName", dry_run: true}) — preview all edits
+- [ ] Review graph edits (high confidence) and ast_search edits (review carefully)
+- [ ] If satisfied: gitnexus_rename({..., dry_run: false}) — apply edits
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify only expected files changed
+- [ ] Run tests for affected processes
+```
+
+### Extract Module
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_context({name: target}) — see all incoming/outgoing refs
+- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) — find all external callers
+- [ ] Define new module interface
+- [ ] Extract code, update imports
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify affected scope
+- [ ] Run tests for affected processes
+```
+
+### Split Function/Service
+
+```
+- [ ] gitnexus_context({name: target}) — understand all callees
+- [ ] Group callees by responsibility
+- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) — map callers to update
+- [ ] Create new functions/services
+- [ ] Update callers
+- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify affected scope
+- [ ] Run tests for affected processes
+```
+
+## Tools
+
+**gitnexus_rename** — automated multi-file rename:
+
+```
+gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: true})
+→ 12 edits across 8 files
+→ 10 graph edits (high confidence), 2 ast_search edits (review)
+→ Changes: [{file_path, edits: [{line, old_text, new_text, confidence}]}]
+```
+
+**gitnexus_impact** — map all dependents first:
+
+```
+gitnexus_impact({target: "validateUser", direction: "upstream"})
+→ d=1: loginHandler, apiMiddleware, testUtils
+→ Affected Processes: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh
+```
+
+**gitnexus_detect_changes** — verify your changes after refactoring:
+
+```
+gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})
+→ Changed: 8 files, 12 symbols
+→ Affected processes: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh
+→ Risk: MEDIUM
+```
+
+**gitnexus_cypher** — custom reference queries:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH (caller)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}]->(f:Function {name: "validateUser"})
+RETURN caller.name, caller.filePath ORDER BY caller.filePath
+```
+
+## Risk Rules
+
+| Risk Factor         | Mitigation                                |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| Many callers (>5)   | Use gitnexus_rename for automated updates |
+| Cross-area refs     | Use detect_changes after to verify scope  |
+| String/dynamic refs | gitnexus_query to find them               |
+| External/public API | Version and deprecate properly            |
+
+## Example: Rename `validateUser` to `authenticateUser`
+
+```
+1. gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: true})
+   → 12 edits: 10 graph (safe), 2 ast_search (review)
+   → Files: validator.ts, login.ts, middleware.ts, config.json...
+
+2. Review ast_search edits (config.json: dynamic reference!)
+
+3. gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: false})
+   → Applied 12 edits across 8 files
+
+4. gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})
+   → Affected: LoginFlow, TokenRefresh
+   → Risk: MEDIUM — run tests for these flows

+# GitNexus — Code Intelligence
+
+This project is indexed by GitNexus as **linear-mcp** (899 symbols, 2670 relationships, 67 execution flows). Use the GitNexus MCP tools to understand code, assess impact, and navigate safely.
+
+> If any GitNexus tool warns the index is stale, run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal first.
+
+## Always Do
+
+- **MUST run impact analysis before editing any symbol.** Before modifying a function, class, or method, run `gitnexus_impact({target: "symbolName", direction: "upstream"})` and report the blast radius (direct callers, affected processes, risk level) to the user.
+- **MUST run `gitnexus_detect_changes()` before committing** to verify your changes only affect expected symbols and execution flows.
+- **MUST warn the user** if impact analysis returns HIGH or CRITICAL risk before proceeding with edits.
+- When exploring unfamiliar code, use `gitnexus_query({query: "concept"})` to find execution flows instead of grepping. It returns process-grouped results ranked by relevance.
+- When you need full context on a specific symbol — callers, callees, which execution flows it participates in — use `gitnexus_context({name: "symbolName"})`.
+
+## When Debugging
+
+1. `gitnexus_query({query: "<error or symptom>"})` — find execution flows related to the issue
+2. `gitnexus_context({name: "<suspect function>"})` — see all callers, callees, and process participation
+3. `READ gitnexus://repo/linear-mcp/process/{processName}` — trace the full execution flow step by step
+4. For regressions: `gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})` — see what your branch changed
+
+## When Refactoring
+
+- **Renaming**: MUST use `gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "old", new_name: "new", dry_run: true})` first. Review the preview — graph edits are safe, text_search edits need manual review. Then run with `dry_run: false`.
+- **Extracting/Splitting**: MUST run `gitnexus_context({name: "target"})` to see all incoming/outgoing refs, then `gitnexus_impact({target: "target", direction: "upstream"})` to find all external callers before moving code.
+- After any refactor: run `gitnexus_detect_changes({scope: "all"})` to verify only expected files changed.
+
+## Never Do
+
+- NEVER edit a function, class, or method without first running `gitnexus_impact` on it.
+- NEVER ignore HIGH or CRITICAL risk warnings from impact analysis.
+- NEVER rename symbols with find-and-replace — use `gitnexus_rename` which understands the call graph.
+- NEVER commit changes without running `gitnexus_detect_changes()` to check affected scope.

+## Tools Quick Reference
+
+| Tool | When to use | Command |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `query` | Find code by concept | `gitnexus_query({query: "auth validation"})` |
+| `context` | 360-degree view of one symbol | `gitnexus_context({name: "validateUser"})` |
+| `impact` | Blast radius before editing | `gitnexus_impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"})` |

+| `cypher` | Custom graph queries | `gitnexus_cypher({query: "MATCH ..."})` |
+
+## Impact Risk Levels
+
+| Depth | Meaning | Action |
+|-------|---------|--------|
+| d=1 | WILL BREAK — direct callers/importers | MUST update these |
+| d=2 | LIKELY AFFECTED — indirect deps | Should test |
+| d=3 | MAY NEED TESTING — transitive | Test if critical path |

+| `gitnexus://repo/linear-mcp/processes` | All execution flows |
+| `gitnexus://repo/linear-mcp/process/{name}` | Step-by-step execution trace |
+
+## Self-Check Before Finishing
+
+Before completing any code modification task, verify:
+1. `gitnexus_impact` was run for all modified symbols
+2. No HIGH/CRITICAL risk warnings were ignored
+3. `gitnexus_detect_changes()` confirms changes match expected scope
+4. All d=1 (WILL BREAK) dependents were updated
+
+## Keeping the Index Fresh
+
+After committing code changes, the GitNexus index becomes stale. Re-run analyze to update it:
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus analyze
+```
+
+If the index previously included embeddings, preserve them by adding `--embeddings`:
+
+```bash
+npx gitnexus analyze --embeddings
+```
+
+To check whether embeddings exist, inspect `.gitnexus/meta.json` — the `stats.embeddings` field shows the count (0 means no embeddings). **Running analyze without `--embeddings` will delete any previously generated embeddings.**

-# Copilot API Review: `linear-mcp`
-
-> **Note**
-> This review captured the repository before the parity and fidelity changes implemented from the active OpenSpec proposals. Treat it as historical context, not the current feature inventory.
-
-## Scope and method
-
-This review compares the current MCP server implementation in this repository to Linear's current public API surface and MCP best practices.
-
-- **Repo inspection:** `src\index.ts`, `src\auth.ts`, `src\graphql\client.ts`, `src\graphql\queries.ts`, `src\graphql\mutations.ts`, `src\core\types\tool.types.ts`, feature handlers/types, tests, `README.md`, and `architecture.md`
-- **External research:** GPT-5.4, GPT-4.1, Claude Opus, and Claude Sonnet research passes plus current official Linear docs and current Linear SDK/schema sources
-- **Note:** Perplexity search is not available in this environment, so current documentation was verified directly against Linear's docs and SDK/schema sources instead
-
-## Executive summary
-
-The server is **useful but far from high fidelity**.
-
-It currently exposes a narrow slice of Linear:
-
-- auth
-- issues
-- projects
-- teams
-- users
-- comments
-- project milestones
-
-That is materially smaller than the current Linear API surface, which now includes richer search, workflow states, labels, issue relations, cycles, attachments, project updates, webhooks, subscriptions, initiatives, customers, and agent-session APIs.
-
-More importantly, there are **fidelity bugs inside the surface it already exposes**:
-
-1. **OAuth is not end-to-end usable** for the rest of the server because the shared GraphQL client is fixed before OAuth callback completes.
-2. **Token refresh is not awaited and is not propagated** to the existing GraphQL client wrapper.
-3. **Search tools are not using Linear's current search endpoints**; they behave like filtered listings instead of true search.
-4. **Comment reply parameters are inconsistent** across tool schema, handler types, and Linear's actual API.
-5. **GraphQL errors, rate-limit signals, and complexity headers are discarded**, which makes the server low fidelity under real load.
-
-If the goal is a **high-fidelity MCP server for Linear**, the right path is:
-
-1. fix the current correctness gaps,
-2. upgrade the Linear SDK/schema baseline,
-3. move to schema-driven structured tool outputs,
-4. expand coverage in priority order around issues, workflow states, labels, cycles, attachments, project updates, and agent/webhook support.
-
-## Current MCP surface vs current Linear API
-
-| Area | Current Linear capability | Repo coverage | Alignment | Notes |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Auth | API keys, OAuth2, PKCE, refresh tokens, `client_credentials`, `actor=app` | API key + partial OAuth init/callback | **Low** | Missing PKCE, client credentials, actor-mode parity, robust refresh handling |
-| Issues | Rich create/update/list/search/filter/relations/sub-issues | Create, batch create, batch update, filtered search, delete | **Partial** | Missing many fields and related entities |
-| Issue search | `searchIssues(term, filter, includeComments, teamId, pagination)` | `issues(filter...)` wrapper | **Low** | Not true search |
-| Projects | CRUD, statuses, labels, updates, members, lead, dates, search | Create-with-issues, get, exact-name search | **Low** | No standalone create/update/delete/list/search parity |
-| Teams | Team queries plus states, members, cycles, hierarchy | List teams with states/labels | **Partial** | No team get/list filters/pagination/members/cycles |
-| Users | Viewer, users list/search, user lookup | Viewer only | **Low** | Missing user lookup/list |
-| Workflow states | `workflowState`, `workflowStates` | Only embedded under teams | **Low** | No first-class tooling |
-| Comments | Create/read/update/delete, threaded replies, reactions | Get issue comments, create comment | **Partial** | Missing update/delete/reactions |
-| Milestones | Project milestone CRUD/list/search/move | Good partial coverage | **Partial** | One of the stronger areas |
-| Labels | Issue/project label CRUD and queries | Internal GraphQL mutation exists, no exposed tools | **Low** | Big feature gap |
-| Relations | Issue relations CRUD | None | **None** | No blocks/duplicate/related support |
-| Cycles | Query/list/create/update | None | **None** | Major workflow gap |
-| Attachments | CRUD, idempotent URL semantics, metadata, uploads | None | **None** | High-value integration gap |
-| Project updates | Query/create/update/archive | None | **None** | Important for modern Linear usage |
-| Webhooks | Query/create/delete + HMAC verification model | None | **None** | No event-driven sync |
-| Subscriptions | GraphQL subscriptions available | None | **None** | No real-time surface |
-| Initiatives / customers | First-class entities with scopes | None | **None** | Enterprise/product planning gap |
-| Agent APIs | Agent sessions, activities, MCP-aware integration model | None | **None** | Misses Linear's AI-native direction |

-### 1. OAuth does not wire the rest of the server
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `src\index.ts` creates `HandlerFactory` once and passes a possibly undefined `graphqlClient`
-- `src\features\auth\handlers\auth.handler.ts` calls `auth.handleCallback(...)`
-- `src\auth.ts` creates a new `LinearClient` after callback
-- Other handlers still hold the original `graphqlClient` reference from startup
-
-**Impact**
-
-After successful OAuth callback, the auth object may be authenticated, but the feature handlers can still fail with `Not authenticated. Call linear_auth first.` because their shared `graphqlClient` was never rebuilt.
-
-**Priority:** P0
-
-### 2. Token refresh is async, but `verifyAuth()` does not await it
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts`
-  - `if (this.auth.needsTokenRefresh()) { this.auth.refreshAPIKey(); }`
-- `src\auth.ts`
-  - `refreshAPIKey()` is `async`
-
-**Impact**
-
-Refresh can race with the next API call, errors can be dropped, and the existing `LinearGraphQLClient` still wraps the old client instance.
-
-**Priority:** P0
-
-### 3. “Search” tools are not using current Linear search APIs
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `src\graphql\queries.ts`
-  - `SEARCH_ISSUES_QUERY` calls `issues(...)`
-  - `SEARCH_PROJECTS_QUERY` calls `projects(filter: ...)`
-- Current Linear schema exposes:
-  - `searchIssues(...)`
-  - `searchProjects(...)`
-  - `semanticSearch(...)`
-
-**Impact**
-
-- `linear_search_issues` is a filtered list, not ranked search
-- `linear_search_projects` is effectively exact-name filtering, not search
-- repo tool behavior does not match current Linear API expectations
-
-**Priority:** P0
-
-### 4. Comment reply input is inconsistent
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `src\core\types\tool.types.ts` uses `parentCommentId`
-- `src\features\comments\types\comment.types.ts` uses `parentId`
-- `src\features\comments\handlers\comment.handler.ts` checks `args.parentId`
-- Current Linear schema uses `CommentCreateInput.parentId`
-
-**Impact**
-
-Threaded replies are likely broken or at least unreliable from MCP clients using the declared tool schema.
-
-**Priority:** P0
-
-### 5. GraphQL fidelity is reduced to generic text errors
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `src\graphql\client.ts` catches errors and throws `GraphQL operation failed: ...`
-- It returns `response.data` only
-- It drops GraphQL `errors[]`, `extensions`, response headers, rate-limit headers, and complexity headers
-- `BaseHandler.handleError()` converts everything to `InternalError`
-
-**Impact**
-
-The server cannot faithfully surface:
-
-- validation failures
-- auth vs permission failures
-- rate limiting
-- partial-success GraphQL responses
-- retry guidance
-
-This is a major gap for production MCP behavior.
-
-**Priority:** P0
-
-### 6. Tool schemas are not strict JSON Schema
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `src\core\types\tool.types.ts` uses `optional: true`
-
-**Impact**
-
-That is not standard JSON Schema. Some MCP clients may ignore it, leading to weaker validation and portability issues.
-
-**Priority:** P1
-
-### 7. Write tools often return prose instead of structured results
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- many handlers build plain text summaries instead of returning structured fields
-
-**Impact**
-
-This is fine for humans, but low fidelity for agents. Modern MCP clients benefit from:
-
-- stable output shape
-- structured IDs/URLs/pageInfo/lastSyncId
-- machine-readable mutation results
-
-**Priority:** P1
-
-### 8. Documentation is stale and internally inconsistent
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `README.md` says OAuth is "***NOT IMPLEMENTED***"
-- `architecture.md` describes folders and patterns not present in the repo
-- tests still assert `actor=application`
-- current docs prefer `actor=app` and refresh-token-based OAuth as of 2026-04-01
-
-**Impact**
-
-The repo no longer accurately describes the real implementation or the current Linear platform.
-
-**Priority:** P1
-
-## Coverage gaps that matter most for high fidelity
-
-### A. Issue parity is still incomplete
-
-Current Linear `IssueCreateInput` / `IssueUpdateInput` support much more than this server exposes, including:
-
-- `dueDate`
-- `cycleId`
-- `labelIds`
-- `parentId`
-- `projectMilestoneId`
-- `subscriberIds`
-- `stateId` on create
-- `delegateId`
-- `templateId`
-- richer description/document fields
-
-The repo's issue tools currently miss much of the data agents need for planning and triage:
-
-- cycle
-- due date
-- sub-issue hierarchy
-- relations
-- subscribers/watchers
-- milestone association
-- richer search semantics
-
-### B. Labels, workflow states, and relations should be first-class
-
-For day-to-day Linear usage, a high-fidelity server needs dedicated support for:
-
-- `issueLabels` / `issueLabelCreate` / `issueLabelUpdate` / `issueLabelDelete`
-- `workflowStates`
-- `issueRelationCreate` / `issueRelationDelete`
-
-Without these, the server cannot represent common Linear workflows like:
-
-- triage labeling
-- moving work across state categories safely
-- blocking / duplicate relationships
-
-### C. Cycles are a major missing workflow primitive
-
-Cycles are central to sprint-style planning. Current Linear supports `cycle`, `cycles`, and related issue filtering, but this server has no cycle tools at all.
-
-**Recommended minimum**
-
-- `linear_get_cycle`
-- `linear_list_cycles`
-- `linear_get_current_cycle`
-- issue filtering by active cycle
-- issue create/update support for `cycleId`
-
-### D. Attachments are a high-value integration surface
-
-Linear attachments are especially valuable for integrations because they:
-
-- are idempotent on `(issueId, url)`
-- support metadata
-- support icon URLs
-- connect external systems cleanly to Linear issues
-
-This repo currently has no attachment coverage even though it is one of the most integration-friendly parts of Linear's API.
-
-### E. Project parity is shallow
-
-The repo supports:
-
-- create project with issues
-- get project
-- exact-name project lookup
-
-It does **not** support much of what current projects actually need:
-
-- standalone create/update/delete
-- list/search parity
-- project statuses
-- project labels
-- project updates
-- lead/member management
-- start/target dates and status mutation
-
-### F. The server ignores Linear's event-driven and AI-native direction
-
-Current Linear now exposes:
-
-- webhooks
-- GraphQL subscriptions
-- agent sessions and agent activities
-- an MCP-aware integration model in the schema/SDK surface
-
-A high-fidelity Linear MCP server should at least be designed with those capabilities in mind, even if not all are implemented on day one.
-
-## Recommended roadmap
-
-### P0: Correctness and platform alignment
-
-1. **Upgrade the SDK/schema baseline**
-   - repo uses `@linear/sdk ^38.0.0`
-   - current upstream package metadata is substantially newer
-   - use current schema and regenerate assumptions from that baseline
-
-2. **Fix auth architecture**
-   - separate auth state from GraphQL client construction
-   - rebuild or lazily resolve the client after OAuth callback
-   - await refresh
-   - propagate refreshed tokens to the active client wrapper
-   - validate OAuth state
-   - support current actor semantics
-
-3. **Fix input/output contract mismatches**
-   - standard JSON Schema
-   - align `parentId` naming
-   - stop relying on undocumented input shapes
-
-4. **Preserve GraphQL fidelity**
-   - carry through `errors[]`
-   - surface Linear error codes
-   - keep rate-limit and complexity headers
-   - distinguish retryable vs permanent failures
-
-5. **Split list vs search**
-   - `list_issues` / `search_issues`
-   - `list_projects` / `search_projects`
-   - use current `searchIssues` / `searchProjects` endpoints for true search
-
-### P1: Core parity for common Linear workflows
-
-1. **Issue parity**
-   - add `get_issue`
-   - support `dueDate`, `cycleId`, `labelIds`, `parentId`, `projectMilestoneId`, `subscriberIds`
-   - expose parent/children/relations
-   - include human-friendly `identifier` everywhere
-
-2. **Workflow states and labels**
-   - add first-class tools for states and labels
-
-3. **Cycles**
-   - list/get/current-cycle support
-   - cycle-aware issue create/update/search
-
-4. **Attachments**
-   - create/update/delete/query attachments
-   - consider upload flow documentation and server-side file handling guidance
-
-5. **Projects**
-   - standalone create/update/delete/list/search
-   - project statuses, labels, updates
-
-6. **Users and teams**
-   - list/search users
-   - get/list teams with pagination and filters
-
-### P2: High-fidelity and Linear-native advanced capabilities
-
-1. **Webhooks**
-   - query/create/delete
-   - signature verification guidance
-
-2. **GraphQL subscriptions**
-   - where transport and runtime make sense
-
-3. **Initiatives and customers**
-   - important for larger organizations
-
-4. **Agent APIs**
-   - agent sessions
-   - agent activities
-   - future alignment with Linear's AI workflows
-
-## Best-practice guidance for a high-fidelity Linear MCP server
-
-### 1. Prefer schema-driven generation over hand-maintained drift
-
-Use the current Linear schema as the source of truth and generate:
-
-- TypeScript types
-- tool input schemas
-- response shapes
-
-This repo is already showing schema drift in naming, field coverage, and docs.
-
-### 2. Expose both convenience params and raw filter power
-
-Good MCP ergonomics usually means:
-
-- **simple params** for common use
-- **raw `filter` object** for advanced use
-
-Recommended pattern:
-
-- `query` / `term`
-- common filters like `teamId`, `assigneeId`, `stateType`, `priority`, `labelIds`, `projectId`, `cycleId`
-- optional raw `filter`
-
-That keeps tools easy to use without hiding Linear's filter power.
-
-### 3. Return structured results, not only prose
-
-For write tools, return stable fields like:
-
-- `id`
-- `identifier`
-- `url`
-- `lastSyncId`
-- timestamps
-- related entity IDs
-
-For list/search tools, always return:
-
-- `nodes`
-- `pageInfo`
-- total/result metadata if available
-
-If your MCP SDK/runtime supports it, add:
-
-- `outputSchema`
-- `structuredContent`
-
-### 4. Preserve key Linear behaviors explicitly
-
-A high-fidelity server should consistently preserve:
-
-- `includeArchived`
-- cursor pagination in both directions
-- `orderBy`
-- stable identifiers and UUIDs
-- issue identifiers like `ENG-123` anywhere Linear accepts them
-- Linear priority encoding
-- `TimelessDate` handling for due dates
-
-### 5. Model errors as product behavior, not generic failures
-
-At minimum, carry:
-
-- Linear error code
-- message
-- retry hint
-- rate-limit metadata when present
-
-This will matter as soon as the server is used in multi-step autonomous flows.
-
-### 6. Keep “search” and “list” distinct
-
-This is one of the clearest current mismatches in the repo.
-
-- **list** = filterable collection query
-- **search** = ranked, term-based search endpoint
-
-Do not overload one into the other.
-
-### 7. Add MCP-native affordances
-
-For a polished MCP server, consider:
-
-- `title` on tools
-- annotations like read-only vs destructive hints
-- resource-style views for stable entities such as:
-  - `linear://issue/{identifier}`
-  - `linear://project/{id}`
-  - `linear://team/{key}`
-
-## Suggested target tool set
-
-If the goal is “high fidelity without trying to expose all of Linear at once,” this is a strong near-term target:
-
-### Read
-
-- `linear_get_viewer`
-- `linear_get_issue`
-- `linear_list_issues`
-- `linear_search_issues`
-- `linear_get_project`
-- `linear_list_projects`
-- `linear_search_projects`
-- `linear_get_team`
-- `linear_list_teams`
-- `linear_list_workflow_states`
-- `linear_list_labels`
-- `linear_get_cycle`
-- `linear_list_cycles`
-- `linear_get_current_cycle`
-- `linear_get_issue_comments`
-- `linear_list_project_milestones`
-
-### Write
-
-- `linear_create_issue`
-- `linear_update_issue`
-- `linear_batch_create_issues`
-- `linear_batch_update_issues`
-- `linear_delete_issue`
-- `linear_create_comment`
-- `linear_update_comment`
-- `linear_delete_comment`
-- `linear_create_attachment`
-- `linear_update_attachment`
-- `linear_delete_attachment`
-- `linear_create_issue_relation`
-- `linear_delete_issue_relation`
-- `linear_create_label`
-- `linear_update_label`
-- `linear_delete_label`
-- `linear_create_project`
-- `linear_update_project`
-- `linear_delete_project`
-- `linear_create_project_update`
-- `linear_update_project_update`
-
-## Bottom line
-
-This repo is a **solid prototype**, especially around basic issues and milestones, but it is **not yet a high-fidelity Linear MCP server**.
-
-The biggest problems are not just missing breadth; they are also **contract and behavior mismatches** in the existing implementation:
-
-- auth lifecycle
-- refresh handling
-- search semantics
-- comment threading params
-- error fidelity
-- structured outputs
-
-If those P0 issues are fixed first, the server becomes a credible base for expanding into the missing Linear primitives that matter most: labels, workflow states, relations, cycles, attachments, project updates, and eventually webhooks and agent APIs.

-# MCP Server Code Review
-
-**Scope:** design patterns, bulk issue handling, AI agent handling, reliability, and security.
-
-**Review sources:** manual review plus independent passes from **GPT-4.1**, **GPT-5.4**, **Claude Opus 4.6**, and **Claude Sonnet 4.6**.
-
-**Baseline:** `npm run build`, `npm test`, and `npm run verify:release` completed successfully during review. The findings below are design, correctness, and hardening issues rather than current red-test failures.
-
-## What is working well
-
-- The repo has a clear domain-oriented handler structure with a shared response/error layer and explicit runtime capability gating for stdio vs stream transport.
-- The issue search path is intentionally separated from list/filter semantics, and release verification covers the built tool catalog and packaged-install smoke path.
-- Structured MCP responses are consistent, and the project already has good baseline coverage around auth, issue workflows, runtime transport, and tool contracts.
-
-## Ranked recommendations
-
-### 1. **High** — Harden OAuth state generation and make it truly single-use
-
-**Recommendation:** Replace `Math.random()` with a cryptographically secure generator and clear `pendingOAuthState` on every callback attempt, not only after a successful token exchange.
-
-**Why it matters:** The current state token is weak for a CSRF boundary, and the implementation/documentation mismatch means a failed exchange leaves the same state reusable even though the docs and tool response describe it as single-use.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- State generation uses `Math.random()`: `src\auth.ts:198-199`
-- State is only cleared on success, not in the failure path: `src\auth.ts:90-110`
-- The server advertises the state as single-use: `README.md:8,63`, `src\features\auth\handlers\auth.handler.ts:30-37`
-
-**Consensus:** manual, GPT-4.1, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
-
-### 2. **High** — Stop sharing auth and OAuth state across stream-transport sessions
-
-**Recommendation:** Scope auth state to the MCP session in stream mode, or explicitly reject concurrent/session-mixed auth flows instead of storing one global `LinearAuth` for the whole process.
-
-**Why it matters:** Stream transport creates per-session IDs, but `config`, `tokenData`, `linearClient`, and `pendingOAuthState` are process-global. One client can overwrite another client’s auth flow or active credentials, which is a real security and reliability issue once the HTTP endpoint is used remotely.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- A single `LinearAuth` instance is created and shared by the whole server: `src\index.ts:57-68`
-- The auth state is instance-global: `src\auth.ts:48-52`
-- Stream mode creates per-session IDs without per-session auth isolation: `src\index.ts:150-156`
-- The README explicitly documents remote stream access and public tunneling: `README.md:121-135,224-226`
-
-**Consensus:** manual, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
-
-### 3. **High** — Enforce advertised tool schemas at the server boundary
-
-**Recommendation:** Add server-side JSON Schema validation before dispatching tool calls, instead of relying on client conformance plus ad hoc `validateRequiredParams` checks.
-
-**Why it matters:** The server advertises strict schemas, but the `CallTool` path forwards `arguments` directly to handlers. That means nested constraints like `minItems`, `anyOf`, nullability, object shape, and type checks are not actually enforced at runtime. This is especially risky for bulk issue inputs and agent payloads.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- Tool calls are dispatched without schema validation: `src\index.ts:80-92`
-- Runtime validation only checks presence of selected required fields: `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts:178-193`
-- The repo tests the schema metadata itself, not runtime enforcement: `src\__tests__\tool-contracts.test.ts:21-144`
-- Example schemas that look strict but are not enforced server-side: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:245-260,365-372,814-876`
-
-**Consensus:** manual, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
-
-### 4. **High** — Fix `linear_create_project_with_issues` to fail fast when project creation is incomplete
-
-**Recommendation:** Before creating any issues, require both a successful project-create result and a concrete `projectId`, and reuse the safer lower-level orchestration instead of duplicating a weaker version in the handler.
-
-**Why it matters:** The public MCP handler can proceed with `projectId: undefined`, because it never proves project creation succeeded or returned an ID. That can create issues detached from the intended project and drifts from the safer helper already implemented in the GraphQL client. Separately, if issue creation fails after the project is created, the current flow returns an error without rollback or a partial-success contract, leaving an orphaned project behind.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- Handler extracts `projectId` and immediately fans into issue creation without guarding it: `src\features\projects\handlers\project.handler.ts:120-149`
-- The lower-level helper already contains the missing success and project-ID guards: `src\graphql\client.ts:210-245`
-- There is no direct test coverage for `handleCreateProjectWithIssues` in the project handler tests: `src\__tests__\project-handler.test.ts:1-110`
-
-**Consensus:** manual, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
-
-### 5. **Medium** — Fix bulk delete end to end before relying on it
-
-**Recommendation:** First verify and fix the lower-level batch-delete mutation, then route `linear_delete_issues` through that corrected bulk path. If per-item deletion must remain temporarily, return per-ID outcomes instead of a single all-or-nothing `Promise.all` failure.
-
-**Why it matters:** The create and update bulk paths use batch semantics, but delete still fans out into N single deletions. That increases API usage, rate-limit exposure, and partial-failure ambiguity. More importantly, the unused lower-level bulk-delete helper is itself suspicious: it calls `issueDelete(ids: $ids)` while the adjacent single-delete mutation uses `issueDelete(id: $id)`, and its only coverage is mock-based. If someone wires it in as-is, they may replace one reliability bug with another.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- The public issue handler does per-item deletes with `Promise.all`: `src\features\issues\handlers\issue.handler.ts:242-253`
-- The GraphQL client exposes an unused batch delete helper: `src\graphql\client.ts:338-342`
-- The batch mutation shape is internally inconsistent with the single-delete mutation: `src\graphql\mutations.ts:148-162`
-- The lower-level client has only mock-based tests for that path, and the handler does not use it: `src\__tests__\graphql-client.test.ts:669-692`
-
-**Consensus:** manual, GPT-4.1, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
-
-### 6. **Medium** — Tighten the agent workflow surface and add direct regression coverage
-
-**Recommendation:** Replace freeform agent objects with narrower schemas where possible, add explicit bounds/required subfields for the remaining flexible payloads, and add dedicated tests for agent tool contracts and handler behavior.
-
-**Why it matters:** The agent surface is the loosest contract in the repo. `plan`, `content`, `contextualMetadata`, `signalMetadata`, `filter`, and `userState` entries are all effectively arbitrary objects, and because the server does not enforce schemas at dispatch time, malformed or unexpectedly large payloads flow straight to the SDK. This is also the least-tested area relative to its flexibility.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `looseObjectProp` allows unrestricted objects: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:33-37`
-- Agent tools rely heavily on that unconstrained schema helper: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:814-876`
-- Agent type safety is inferred from SDK params rather than reinforced with repo-owned validation: `src\features\agents\types\agent.types.ts:12-29`
-- The reviewed test suite has no dedicated `agent-handler` or agent contract coverage under `src\__tests__\`
-
-**Consensus:** manual, GPT-4.1, GPT-5.4, Opus, Sonnet
-
-### 7. **Medium** — Make `stateId` and `states` mutually exclusive or merge them predictably
-
-**Recommendation:** Reject requests that send both `stateId` and `states`, or combine them explicitly instead of silently overwriting one with the other.
-
-**Why it matters:** The issue filter builder first sets `filter.state` from `stateId` and then overwrites it if `states` is present. Because both inputs are advertised side by side in the tool schema, an MCP client or AI agent can reasonably send both and get surprising search/list results with no warning.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- `stateId` is assigned first and then overwritten by `states`: `src\features\issues\handlers\issue.handler.ts:330-336`
-- Both fields are advertised in the issue tool schemas: `src\core\types\tool.types.ts:267-273,283-288`
-
-**Consensus:** Opus, manual validation
-
-### 8. **Low** — Stop forwarding raw Linear response headers in MCP error payloads
-
-**Recommendation:** Remove raw upstream headers from structured error responses, or whitelist only the few headers that are genuinely useful for client-side correlation.
-
-**Why it matters:** GraphQL failures currently include the normalized upstream response headers in `structuredContent.error.graphql.headers`. That exposes more transport metadata than most MCP clients need and can leak request correlation or rate-limit internals unnecessarily.
-
-**Evidence**
-
-- Handler errors include the serialized GraphQL result: `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts:102-116`
-- The GraphQL serializer forwards all normalized headers verbatim: `src\core\handlers\base.handler.ts:214-246`
-
-**Consensus:** Sonnet, manual validation
-
-## Suggested implementation order
-
-1. Fix OAuth state generation/consumption and session scoping.
-2. Add server-side schema enforcement on the `CallTool` path.
-3. Correct `linear_create_project_with_issues` to reuse or match the safer lower-level flow.
-4. Move delete into the true bulk path.
-5. Tighten and test the agent surface.
-6. Resolve filter-field conflicts such as `stateId` vs `states`.
-7. Trim unnecessary upstream metadata from structured error payloads.
