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-claude-skill 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 7d 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.

Project Overview

This is a Claude Code skill for managing Linear issues, projects, and teams. It provides high-level TypeScript operations, a label taxonomy system for consistent categorization, and utilities for SDK automation.

Common Commands

# Run setup check (validates LINEAR_API_KEY and dependencies)
npm run setup

# High-level operations CLI
npm run ops -- <command> [args]
npm run ops -- help                          # Show all commands
npm run ops -- create-issue "Project" "Title" "Desc"
npm run ops -- create-sub-issue ENG-100 "Title"
npm run ops -- labels taxonomy               # Show label taxonomy
npm run ops -- labels validate "feature,security"

# Run GraphQL query
npm run query -- "query { viewer { name } }"

# Test Linear connection
npm run test-connection

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.
