linear-cli AGENTS.md

Project instructions for a command-line tool that manages Linear issues. Linear is a project-management service for tracking work, dependencies, labels, and priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to create and inspect Linear tickets from the command line. They also support workflows such as writing product requirements, triaging backlogs, planning cycles, and analyzing dependencies.
Why use it?
They provide ready-to-use commands for creating, listing, and viewing issues, including issues with relationships to other work. They also explain how to download private images attached to issues.

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-cli AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What it actually says

Linear

This project uses Linear for issue tracking. Default team: TEST

Creating Issues

# Create a simple issue
linear issues create "Fix login bug" --team TEST --priority high

# Create with full details and dependencies
linear issues create "Add OAuth integration" \
  --team TEST \
  --description "Integrate Google and GitHub OAuth providers" \
  --parent TEST-100 \
  --depends-on TEST-99 \
  --labels "backend,security" \
  --estimate 5

# List and view issues
linear issues list
linear issues get TEST-123

Fetching private Linear images

uploads.linear.app URLs in issue descriptions require authentication. Do NOT use WebFetch or curl — they will 401.

Instead, use the CLI:

linear attachments download "https://uploads.linear.app/..."
# → /tmp/linear-img-<hash>.png

Then Read that path to view the image.

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.
