Documentation work becomes countable knowledge
Write docs, file the task, and your knowledge contribution goal advances. Invisible work becomes visible.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Get all goals
Tool to retrieve all goals for a specified user. use when listing a user's active goals.
Why this helps
Documentation effort disappears; knowledge contributions don't aggregate into compounding progress.
- Quantify knowledge work
- Track documentation progress
- Build habit around knowledge sharing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Beeminder to Notis
- 2Create an automation with 'Public Team Issue Created' as the trigger
- 3Filter to issues with a 'documentation' or 'docs' label
- 4Set the action to 'get all Beeminder goals' and write: Log a knowledge contribution datapoint for each new documentation issue created
- 5Test by creating a documentation task in Linear and verify the datapoint logs
Questions about this workflow
Should I log when docs are created or completed?
Both are valid. Choose what matters: logging creation captures commitment; logging completion shows delivery.
What about doc updates vs. new docs?
Start with new documentation items. Later, refine to include significant updates if you want finer granularity.
