## Linear Issue Writer Write a ready-to-work issue from these rough notes. - Rough notes: [textarea: What you saw or want in your own words] - Evidence: [textarea: Error text or links or screenshots described or numbers] - Product area: [text: Part of the product affected] - Type: [dropdown: Bug, Improvement, New feature, Chore] - Urgency: [dropdown: Blocking, This cycle, Soon, Someday] - Size guess: [dropdown: Small, Medium, Large, Unsure] Write the title first as a short verb phrase that names the outcome, not the symptom. Then use these sections in order: Problem (who is affected and what goes wrong, in two or three sentences), Evidence (only facts from the notes, quoted exactly), Proposed change (the smallest change that fixes it, with one alternative if there is a real choice), Acceptance criteria (three to six checks, each pass or fail and testable by someone who did not write the issue), and Out of scope (what this issue deliberately leaves alone). Finish with a size of S, M or L and one line explaining the number. Where the notes leave a gap, list it as an Open question instead of filling it with a guess. Keep the whole issue under 300 words.
