Retired agent:wip/agent:pr in Linear (team UPL) and migrated the one live issue carrying agent:pr (UPL-7, open PR chiptus/UpLine#463) to the new scheme. Also updates the setup-chiptus-env Linear template to match; the GitHub template is unchanged since GitHub issues have no native per-issue status to borrow.

From c5b9f7d50955427134109919331b95247031b9b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 15:12:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 12/25] refactor(skills): split autonomic-issues.md into a skeleton + tracker fragments MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The interleaved-marker design didn't scale: every section grew another block per tracker, so a third tracker would mean editing every section of an already-written file. Replaces it with a skeleton (autonomic-issues.md, 100% tracker-invariant prose) plus small per-tracker fragment files (tracker-github.md, tracker-linear.md) that each supply the same five named slots (INTRO, SHARED_STATE, INTAKE_QUERY, FIX_FIRING_STEPS, SETUP_ITEMS). Adding a tracker is now "write one new fragment file against these five slots" — the skeleton never changes.

Rewrites the whole doc in tracker-agnostic language (triage rubric, quality gates, guardrails, bail/fail handling, notifications, routine prompts never mention a tracker) referring back to one small "Tracker specifics" table for the load-bearing facts only — not a CLI reference, which the agent already gets from the tracker's own usage/--help.
