humanlayer-riptide-rpi is a Claude Code plugin that runs a Research–Plan–Implement workflow on Linear tickets before code changes land.

About

humanlayer-riptide-rpi is a Claude Code plugin that packages the Riptide Research–Plan–Implement workflow for work tracked in Linear. developers and small teams who ship with agents often paste a ticket ID and get a PR before the problem is understood; RPI splits the job into explicit research, a written plan tied to the issue, and implementation only after that gate. The plugin is aimed at developers using Claude Code alongside Linear for backlog and delivery, especially when tickets are vague or touch unfamiliar parts of the codebase. Install it when you want a repeatable agent methodology instead of one-shot “fix this ticket” prompts. It complements Linear integrations and coding skills by governing how the agent sequences work, not by replacing issue tracking or deployment tooling.

  • Research–Plan–Implement (RPI) ritual tuned for Linear tickets
  • Forces context gathering before implementation on agent-driven tasks
  • Aligns agent output with ticket scope instead of ad-hoc coding
  • Workflow plugin (process skill), not a standalone Linear MCP server
  • Single-plugin bundle from humanlayer/riptide-rpi

What it does

Run a structured Research–Plan–Implement loop on Linear issues so Claude does not jump straight into code on under-specified tickets.

Who is it for?

Best when you use Claude Code with Linear and want a fixed RPI ritual on every non-trivial ticket.

Skip if: Skip if you're not on Linear, one-off scripts with no issue tracker, or leaders and only need raw Linear API access without a process layer.

What you get

Each Linear issue gets a disciplined research and plan phase, then implementation that matches the ticket and approved plan.

  • Research notes grounded in the Linear ticket and codebase
  • An implementation plan aligned to the issue before code edits
  • Implementation work that follows the approved RPI steps
