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 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Linear

Drive Linear through its GraphQL API with the user's own key — opt-in, no middleman.

Setup

Set LINEAR_API_KEY (Settings → API → Personal API keys). All calls:

curl -s https://api.linear.app/graphql -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"..."}'

My open issues

{"query":"{ viewer { assignedIssues(filter:{state:{type:{neq:\"completed\"}}}) { nodes { identifier title state { name } } } } }"}

Search issues

{"query":"query($q:String!){ searchIssues(term:$q){ nodes{ identifier title url } } }","variables":{"q":"login bug"}}

Create an issue

First resolve the team id ({ teams { nodes { id key name } } }), then:

{"query":"mutation($t:String!,$ti:String!,$d:String){ issueCreate(input:{teamId:$t,title:$ti,description:$d}){ success issue{ identifier url } } }","variables":{"t":"TEAM_ID","ti":"Fix X","d":"details"}}

Update status / assignee / comment

  • Resolve workflow state ids ({ workflowStates { nodes { id name } } }), then issueUpdate(input:{id, stateId}).
  • Comment: commentCreate(input:{issueId, body}).

Rules

  • If LINEAR_API_KEY is unset, explain how to create one and stop.
  • Resolve human references (team key, status name, LIN-123 identifier) to ids before mutating.
  • Echo the issue identifier + URL after creating/updating.

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.
