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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.02874 | $0.02874 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01150 | $0.01150 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00575 | $0.00575 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00287 | $0.00287 |
Grade A, and why
linear-cli CLAUDE.md 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 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.
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 CLI - A token-efficient CLI for Linear, written in Go.

make test # Run unit tests
make clean # Clean build artifacts

For AI Agents (Claude Code)
Essential Setup
Step 1: Authenticate and set mode
linear auth login # Choose "Agent" mode for bots/automation
linear auth status # Verify: should show "Mode: Agent"
Step 2: Set default team
linear init # Select default team - creates .linear.yaml
Step 3 (optional): Set default project
Edit .linear.yaml to add a default project:
# .linear.yaml
team: CEN
project: my-project # optional — used when --project flag is omitted
When set, commands with --project (issues list, issues create, issues update, search, deps, documents create) will use this default. Explicit --project flags always override it.
Authentication Modes
- User mode:
--assignee meassigns to the human's Linear account - Agent mode:
--assignee meassigns to the OAuth app (delegate), visible as a separate entity in Linear
If linear auth status shows "Auth mode not set", re-run linear auth login.
Output Formats
IMPORTANT: All commands now support JSON output for automation and scripting.
Text Output (default) - Token-efficient ASCII format:
linear issues list
linear issues get CEN-123
JSON Output - Machine-readable for parsing:
linear issues list --output json
linear issues get CEN-123 --output json
Verbosity Levels (--format flag):
minimal- Essential fields only (~50 tokens)compact- Key metadata (~150 tokens, default)detailed- Complete details, truncated comments (~500 tokens). Uselinear issues comments <id>for full text.full- Complete details, untruncated comments
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.

linear-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository joa23/linear-cli (145 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,874 tokens to every session, about $0.0115 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
