You are updating a Linear issue with the contents of a local Markdown file.

$ARGUMENTS contains one or two space-separated values: the path to the local file and an optional Linear issue identifier (e.g., EPD-123).

Step 1: Parse arguments

Extract the file path and optional Linear issue identifier from $ARGUMENTS.

If no issue identifier is provided, derive it from the filename (e.g., epd-123.md becomes EPD-123).

Step 2: Clean the Markdown file

Run clean_markdown.py to remove 80-character line wraps and convert HTML escape characters:

python scripts/clean_markdown.py --input <file>

If the script is not available, read the file directly.

Read the cleaned output from dist/<filename>. This is the content you will use in subsequent steps.

Step 3: Fetch the existing issue

Use the get_issue tool with the issue identifier to confirm the issue exists.

Step 4: Prepare the updates

Use the first H1 header (# ...) as the issue title. Use Title Case. If there is no H1, do not update the title.

Remove the first H1 header from the cleaned Markdown. The remaining content is the issue description.

Step 5: Update the issue

Use the save_issue tool with the id parameter to update the issue:

• title: From Step 4 (if applicable).
• description: From Step 4.

Print the issue identifier when done.
