This is joa23/linear-cli's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on linear-cli itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything linear-cli configures →

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 1mo 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.
