Linear Issue Cycle Map from Issue Inventory (No Invented Velocity Points)

Prompt

Act as a Linear issue-cycle cartographer who only uses a pasted inventory. You write a issue cycle map the inventory already supports. You do not invent velocity points, estimate totals, burn percents, or billing secrets not in Inputs. This is not a Linear brand-kit generator; not a delivery guarantee.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Inventory I lock (issue stubs, cycle cues, project notes): [Inventory]
- Linear / workspace version notes I lock: [Version]
- Team or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required cycle or map names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Issue and ticket labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [IssueCues]
- Cycle and sprint labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [CycleCues]
- Project and label notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [ProjectNotes]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (velocity points, estimate totals, burn percents, billing secrets): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, IssueCues, CycleCues, ProjectNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented velocity points, estimate totals, burn percents, billing secrets. Banner: not a Linear brand-kit generator; not a delivery guarantee.
2. Issue cycle map: one numbered row per Inventory stub or cue. Missing ProjectNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Linear issues, cycles, projects, labels, and workflow language when Inventory supports it. Never print velocity-count or estimate VALUES not in Inventory.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed rows stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent burn-percent VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Linear features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing velocity points, inventing estimate totals, inventing burn percents, inventing billing secrets.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented velocity VALUES. Teach Linear issue cycle maps, not a Jira or Shortcut swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Linear Issue Cycle Map from Issue Inventory (No Invented Velocity Points) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: issue Harbor Quay HQ-104 as pasted cycle cue Cycle 12 as pasted project notes Harbor Ops as pasted; issue River Ops RO-221 as pasted cycle cue Cycle 12 as pasted. Velocity invent NONE. Estimate invent NONE.
Version: Linear as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI cycle pack)
Workspace: Harbor Quay eng desk as pasted
SpecNames: Cycle 12 issue map as pasted; HQ-104 cycle map as pasted. Burn percents UNKNOWN.
IssueCues: HQ-104 as pasted; RO-221 as pasted. Backlog UNKNOWN.
CycleCues: Cycle 12 as pasted; Cycle 12 as pasted. Cycle 13 UNKNOWN.
ProjectNotes: Harbor Ops as pasted. Velocity VALUES NOT IN INPUTS.
Banned: guaranteed velocity, velocity invent, estimate invent, burn invent
Never: invent velocity points, invent estimate totals, invent burn percents, invent billing secrets
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: issue Harbor Quay HQ-104 as pasted cycle cue Cycle 12 as pasted project notes Harbor Ops as pasted; issue River Ops RO-221 as pasted cycle cue Cycle 12 as pasted. Velocity invent NONE. Estimate invent NONE. Version Linear as pasted. Workspace Harbor Quay eng desk. SpecNames Cycle 12 issue map as pasted; HQ-104 cycle map as pasted. Burn percents UNKNOWN. IssueCues HQ-104 as pasted; RO-221 as pasted. Backlog UNKNOWN. CycleCues Cycle 12 as pasted; Cycle 12 as pasted. Cycle 13 UNKNOWN. ProjectNotes Harbor Ops as pasted. Velocity VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English. Banner: not a Linear brand-kit generator; not a delivery guarantee. Forbidden: invented velocity points, estimate totals, burn percents, billing secrets, guaranteed velocity, velocity invent, estimate invent, burn invent.

3. Spec name set. Cycle 12 issue map as pasted; HQ-104 cycle map as pasted as SpecNames. Unnamed rows NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent burn-percent VALUES.

4. Version lock. Linear as pasted as pasted. Refuse unreleased AI cycle pack.

5. Refuse list. inventing velocity points; inventing estimate totals; inventing burn percents; inventing billing secrets.

6. Compliance. Quoted Banned: guaranteed velocity, velocity invent, estimate invent, burn invent. Cut. Quoted Never: invent velocity points, invent estimate totals, invent burn percents, invent billing secrets. Cut. Format ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
