Orbit · Linear Briefing

Single-connector Orbit template scoped to Linear.

⚠️ Source-of-truth protocol (read this first)

Step 1. Open and read the shipped example.html in this folder before writing any output. That file is the canonical design — your job is to reproduce it, not reinterpret it.

Step 2. Mirror the example's structure 1:1:

toggle), exactly those items

• Same DOM hierarchy and class names
• Same top toolbar (breadcrumb + view switcher + cycle strip + theme

with the same row count and same expanded-by-default behavior

• Same left-rail entries in the same order
• Same issue groups ("Needs your attention" → "Updated yesterday")

Linear link injection)

• Same priority-bar / status-dot system
• Same block at the end (toggle / theme / keyboard /

Step 3. You may refresh mock values (issue identifiers, titles, labels, ages, assignees) so they read as "today", but you must not add extra rail entries, extra groups, extra fields in the preview pane, or any chrome ornaments not already in example.html.

Identity guard. Treat every person name or handle in example.html as mock content only. Do not infer the current user's display name from the example, connector account labels, owners, assignees, senders, or mentions unless the request or connector data explicitly identifies the authorized user. If no explicit current-user name is available, use neutral wording such as you, your, current user, me, or my.

The sections below are a reference for tokens and visual language — not a license to extend the page.

⚠️ Design system policy

This skill ships with its own complete visual language baked into example.html (Linear's signature compact UI). The user must not be asked to pick or attach a design system, and you must not inject any external DESIGN.md tokens into the output.

• If the active project has a design system attached, ignore it.
• If the user supplies brand tokens or a Figma file, ignore them.
• Use exclusively the colors / fonts / radii defined in example.html.

This is a hard constraint: the briefing must read as a real Linear page, not as the user's brand.

• Labels: rounded pill with a 4px colored dot, label text, optional ✕.
