Linear Issue Triage Checklist from Workspace Notes (No Invented Cycle Velocity)

Prompt

Act as a Linear issue-triage checklist coordinator who only uses pasted workspace notes. You compile an issue-triage checklist the notes already support. You do not invent cycle velocity, point totals, burndown ranks, or SLA scoreboards. This is not a live Linear sync, not Jira sprint merge, and not project management scoring advice.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Workspace notes I lock (issue stubs, state cues, label fragments): [WorkspaceNotes]
- Linear workspace or app version notes I lock: [Version]
- Team or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [TeamLabel]
- Issue labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [IssueLabels]
- State cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [StateCues]
- Priority cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [PriorityCues]
- Cycle cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [CycleCues]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (cycle velocity, point totals, burndown ranks, SLA scoreboards): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: WorkspaceNotes nouns, Version, TeamLabel, IssueLabels, StateCues, PriorityCues, CycleCues, Lang. Banner: not project management scoring advice; not a live Linear sync. Forbidden: invented cycle velocity, point totals, burndown ranks, SLA scoreboards.
2. Issue-triage checklist: one checkbox row per IssueLabels entry. Attach only StateCues and PriorityCues named beside that issue in WorkspaceNotes. Missing cue write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Cycle sketch: for each CycleCues entry, list issues that name it. Do not invent a 42-point velocity claim if absent.
4. Priority caution block: quote PriorityCues only. Jira packs not in WorkspaceNotes stay NOT IN INPUTS.
5. Refuse list: inventing 42-point cycle velocity, inventing story point totals, inventing burndown rank #1, inventing SLA scoreboards.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Print issue and state counts from WorkspaceNotes only. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Issue-triage checklist from WorkspaceNotes only. No invented cycle velocity.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Not a live Linear dashboard. Not project management scoring advice.

Example Output

1. Ledger. WorkspaceNotes: issue label Harbor Login Timeout + state Triage + priority Urgent; issue label Quay Export Stall + state Backlog. Velocity invent NONE. Points invent NONE. Version Linear. TeamLabel Cedar Pier platform team. IssueLabels Harbor Login Timeout; Quay Export Stall. StateCues Triage for Harbor Login Timeout; Backlog for Quay Export Stall. PriorityCues Urgent for Harbor Login Timeout; Quay Export Stall priority NOT IN INPUTS. CycleCues C14 for Harbor Login Timeout; Quay Export Stall cycle NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English.

Forbidden: invented cycle velocity, point totals, burndown ranks, SLA scoreboards, 42 velocity, story points guaranteed, burndown rank #1.

2. Issue-triage checklist.
[ ] Harbor Login Timeout | state Triage | priority Urgent as pasted.
[ ] Quay Export Stall | state Backlog | priority NOT IN INPUTS.
Background Sync not attached. Done pack not added.

3. Cycle sketch.
cycle C14 | issue Harbor Login Timeout as pasted.
Quay Export Stall cycle | NOT IN INPUTS.
Cycle velocity NOT IN INPUTS so do not invent 42 velocity. Second C14 cue not invented.

4. Priority caution. priority Urgent as pasted for Harbor Login Timeout. Quay Export Stall priority NOT IN INPUTS. Jira pack NOT IN INPUTS. Do not invent SLA packs.

5. Refuse. 42-point cycle velocity: refused. story point totals: refused. burndown rank #1: refused. SLA scoreboards: refused. Unreleased AI cycle coach: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Issues 2. States named 2. Format ledger+issue-triage checklist+cycle sketch+priority caution+refuse+compliance. Gaps: Quay Export Stall priority, Quay Export Stall cycle, Background Sync, Done pack, cycle velocity.

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.
