Private-label guardrail added to Linear issue workflow
Claude skills for handling Linear issues now check for private-label markers before proceeding, blocking development if git remotes point to the public repo when they shouldn't.
Working on security-sensitive or private issues in the wrong repository clone risks accidental exposure. The Linear issue skill now includes a mandatory checkpoint that halts execution if an issue carries the n8n-private label and the developer's local git remotes include the public n8n-io/n8n repository. When triggered, developers see a stop message directing them to work in a separate clone of the private repository instead. This guardrail applies to the Claude AI skill that processes Linear issues, catching the mistake before any code is written or context is fetched.
