Summary

New skill proposal! I've been using plumbbob a fair bit and it's pretty good! I was playing around a bit the other day and thought "hey, can Claude read through Linear and tell me what tickets are good plumbbob candidates so I can spin off some worktrees?"

find-candidates does exactly that. It takes in a team and assignedTo (default unassigned) and reads through the tickets to determine what would be good plumbbob candidates. It categorizes them into "Strong Candidate", "Needs a decision first": a good candidate but will need human evaluation on missing info, and "Not a good fit". The skill does this categorization while looking at the user's locally hosted repo, to provide an informed judgement. Furthermore, it suggests any key contributors the user can follow up with.

I think this skill will help with:

  1. team adoption of the tool. find-candidates serves as a step before plan, allowing users to get a ticket that plumbbob is tailored for
  2. reducing our backlog / unassigned tickets. Running find-candidates can provide a user with some good tickets to throw plumbbob at in parallel
