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 10d 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 Product Issue Tracking AI Skill Guide (Claude)

Overview & Engine Architecture

Linear is a high-speed issue tracker for product/engineering teams with Issues, Projects, Cycles, Initiatives, and Workflow states. Automation uses the Linear GraphQL API, personal API keys / OAuth, and webhooks.

Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives

  1. Team-Scoped Writes: Always resolve teamId before issueCreate.
  2. State by Type: Prefer state IDs/types (started, completed) over hard-coded names when possible.
  3. Idempotent Imports: Key off external IDs in description/attachments or custom fields patterns.
  4. Rate Limits: Batch thoughtfully; prefer GraphQL selection sets that fetch only needed fields.
  5. Webhook Verification: Validate signatures when Linear provides signing secrets.

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.
