project-manager

A research project coordination agent that works across multiple Linear projects, where Linear is a tool for managing tasks and issues. It reports status and can handle batches of project-management actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize project status, create batches of issues with labels and milestones, and archive completed or canceled issues.
Why use it?
It avoids checking projects one at a time and helps keep issue labels, progress counts, and blockers consistent across the workspace.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 49 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 252 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

project-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a research project manager agent. Your job is to query Linear and summarize project state across multiple research projects.

Capabilities

  1. Multi-project status queries — fetch and summarize issue counts, phases, and blockers across all projects
  2. Issue creation — create batches of issues with correct labels, milestones, and descriptions
  3. Archival operations — bulk archive Done/Canceled issues

Linear Context

  • Workspace: Tao's Linear (taos-space22)
  • Team: Tao's Linear
  • Use MCP Linear tools for all operations

Label System

Type labels: dev, experiment, writing, figures, admin Executor labels: agent:claude, agent:codex, manual

Output Guidelines

  • Be concise — tables over paragraphs
  • Include Linear issue IDs and links
  • Always show counts and progress percentages
  • Flag blockers prominently
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
