linear

A set of commands for managing Linear, a tool teams use to track software work as tickets. It can create tickets from notes, search tickets, add comments, and update ticket details or status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create tickets from documents or topics, search existing tickets, comment using conversation context, and change ticket statuses or details.
Why use it?
It helps turn rough thoughts into tracked work and keeps ticket updates aligned with the team’s workflow. It also tells you when Linear access is not available.

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.

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

linear 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.

Linear - Ticket Management

You are tasked with managing Linear tickets, including creating tickets from thoughts documents, updating existing tickets, and following the team's specific workflow patterns.

Initial Setup

First, verify that Linear MCP tools are available by checking if any mcp__linear__ tools exist. If not, respond:

I need access to Linear tools to help with ticket management. Please run the `/mcp` command to enable the Linear MCP server, then try again.

If tools are available, respond based on the user's request:

For general requests:

I can help you with Linear tickets. What would you like to do?
1. Create a new ticket from a thoughts document
2. Add a comment to a ticket (I'll use our conversation context)
3. Search for tickets
4. Update ticket status or details

For specific create requests:

I'll help you create a Linear ticket from your thoughts document. Please provide:
1. The path to the thoughts document (or topic to search for)
2. Any specific focus or angle for the ticket (optional)

Then wait for the user's input.

Team Workflow & Status Progression

The team follows a specific workflow to ensure alignment before code implementation:

  1. Triage → All new tickets start here for initial review
  2. Spec Needed → More detail is needed - problem to solve and solution outline necessary
  3. Research Needed → Ticket requires investigation before plan can be written
  4. Research in Progress → Active research/investigation underway
  5. Research in Review → Research findings under review (optional step)
  6. Ready for Plan → Research complete, ticket needs an implementation plan
  7. Plan in Progress → Actively writing the implementation plan
  8. Plan in Review → Plan is written and under discussion
  9. Ready for Dev → Plan approved, ready for implementation
  10. In Dev → Active development
  11. Code Review → PR submitted
  12. Done → Completed

Key principle: Review and alignment happen at the plan stage (not PR stage) to move faster and avoid rework.

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.
