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 2mo 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

Structured workflow for managing issues, projects, and team workflows in Linear via the Linear MCP server (OAuth-based, remote).

Prerequisites

  • Linear MCP server connected via your MCP integration (OAuth)
  • If any Linear MCP tool call fails, the user may need to reconnect their Linear integration.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order.

Step 1: Clarify Scope

Confirm the user's goal: issue creation, triage, sprint planning, status update, documentation, workload review, etc. Identify team, project, priority, labels, cycle, and due dates as needed.

Step 2: Read First

Always query before mutating. Build context with read operations:

Goal Tool
Find issues list_issues (filter by team, assignee, state, label, project, priority)
My open work list_issues with assignee: "me"
Issue details get_issue with issue identifier (e.g., CON-435)
Team lookup list_teams
Project lookup list_projects, get_project
Available states list_issue_statuses (requires team)
Available labels list_issue_labels (optional team filter)
Cycles list_cycles
Documents list_documents, get_document, search_documentation
Comments list_comments (requires issueId)
Users list_users, get_user
Initiatives list_initiatives, get_initiative
Milestones list_milestones (requires project)
Status updates get_status_updates

Step 3: Create or Update

Use save_issue for both creating and updating:

Creating: title and team are required. Omit id.

save_issue(title: "...", team: "Content", description: "...", priority: 3, labels: ["Bug"])

Updating: Pass id with the issue identifier.

save_issue(id: "CON-435", state: "In Progress", assignee: "me")

Other mutation tools:

  • save_comment - add comments to issues
  • save_project, save_initiative, save_milestone - project management
  • save_status_update - post status updates
  • create_issue_label - create new labels
  • create_document, update_document - Linear docs
  • create_attachment - attach files to issues

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.
