Core Life Operations

Core Life Operations

Overview

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

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

Configuration Interface

Importing skills must provide these configuration values:

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

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

Available Workflows

Daily Planning Workflow

Import: workflows/​daily-planning.md

What it does:

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

Usage from importing skill:

[Import and execute core daily planning workflow]

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

Task Triage Workflow

Import: workflows/​task-triage.md

What it does:

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

Usage from importing skill:

[Import and execute core task triage workflow]

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

Productivity Reporting Workflow

Import: workflows/​reporting.md

What it does:

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

Usage from importing skill:

[Import and execute core reporting workflow]

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

Linear Integration

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

Required:

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

Query Helper:

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

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

Agent Coordination Patterns

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

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