linear-ops

linear-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ch-raph/linear-cache-mcp. It costs 42 tokens per session (771 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for working with Linear, a project-management and issue-tracking service. It defines how to read cached data, verify current records before changes, manage request limits, and update the cache after writes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reading, triaging, creating, updating, commenting on, or moving Linear issues, projects, labels, and statuses.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary Linear requests and helps prevent edits based on stale cached information.

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-ops 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 Ops Skill

Purpose

Use this skill whenever a task mentions Linear, issues, projects, backlog, meeting-note triage, labels, statuses, or MCP/API rate limits.

Mandatory protocol

  1. Check local cache status first. Read .agent/linear-cache/manifest.json or use linear_cache_status when available.
  2. Use cache-first tools for broad reads. Prefer linear_cache_search_issues, linear_cache_list_projects, and local .agent/linear-cache/latest/*.json over direct broad Linear MCP calls.
  3. Never write from cache alone. Before creating/updating/commenting/moving Linear entities, live-fetch exact target entities through the cache MCP write tool or direct Linear tool if the cache MCP is unavailable.
  4. Patch/write through after mutations. After Linear writes, update local cache and request ledger, or note explicitly if this was not possible.
  5. Check budget before broad syncs. Use linear_cache_budget_status or local request ledger counts. If above soft budget, avoid nonessential broad scans.
  6. Linear remains source of truth. If live state conflicts with cache, trust live state and patch/flag the cache.

Request budget discipline

Cache MCP tool names use underscores for MCP client compatibility, for example linear_cache_status rather than linear_cache.status.

Suggested hourly thresholds:

  • < 900/hour: normal mode.
  • 900-1200/hour: avoid broad refreshes; prefer targeted fetches.
  • 1200-1400/hour: targeted reads/writes only.
  • > 1400/hour: ask user before nonessential Linear calls.

Budget checks should use local ledger data, not Linear API calls.

Project workflow template

Customize this section per project.

Recommended defaults:

  • Use projects/docs for durable context, research, commitments, decision logs, and broad themes.
  • Create issues only for bounded executable work with a clear owner/success condition.
  • Use a decision-needed label/status for ambiguous or decision-bound work.
  • Moving an issue to active work should require an owner and a one-sentence success condition.
  • Avoid creating issues for pure context if a project update/document is more appropriate.

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.
