Cyclotic

Checks how well a Linear cycle is prepared. Reports per-person load in working days against available days, tickets with no estimate, tickets nobody is assigned to, oversized tickets that need splitting, work that did not finish last cycle, on-call rotation cost, and how groomed the backlog behind the cycle is. Invoke when the user says "cyclotic", "cyclotic prep", "cyclotic prep next", "cyclotic review", "cyclotic init", "cyclotic configure", "cyclotic for" a person's name, "cyclotic show cards", "cyclotic list tickets", "cyclotic explain" a person's name, or adds "-v" or "verbose" to any of those. Also invoke when the user asks whether a cycle or sprint is ready, who is over or under capacity, what carried over from last cycle, which tickets still need estimates, how the backlog looks going into planning, what is in the cycle and at what sizes, or how one person's load adds up. Read-only against Linear.
