linear

A workflow assistant for Linear, a project-management tool used to track issues, projects, teams, and documentation. It connects to a Linear workspace so an agent can manage those records using natural-language requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read, create, or update Linear issues, projects, team workflows, and documents.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive ticket and project-management steps from development work. It also makes the required workspace access and sign-in setup explicit.

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 2d 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

Overview

This skill provides a structured workflow for managing issues, projects & team workflows in Linear. It ensures consistent integration with the Linear MCP server, which offers natural-language project management for issues, projects, documentation, and team collaboration.

Prerequisites

  • Linear MCP server must be connected and accessible via OAuth
  • Confirm access to the relevant Linear workspace, teams, and projects

Required Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.

Step 0: Set up Linear MCP (if not already configured)

If any MCP call fails because Linear MCP is not connected, pause and set it up:

  1. Add the Linear MCP:
    • codex mcp add linear --url https://mcp.linear.app/mcp
  2. Enable remote MCP client:
    • Set [features] rmcp_client = true in config.toml or run codex --enable rmcp_client
  3. Log in with OAuth:
    • codex mcp login linear

After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1.

Windows/WSL note: If you see connection errors on Windows, try configuring the Linear MCP to run via WSL:

{"mcpServers": {"linear": {"command": "wsl", "args": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/sse", "--transport", "sse-only"]}}}

Step 1

Clarify the user's goal and scope (e.g., issue triage, sprint planning, documentation audit, workload balance). Confirm team/project, priority, labels, cycle, and due dates as needed.

Step 2

Select the appropriate workflow (see Practical Workflows below) and identify the Linear MCP tools you will need. Confirm required identifiers (issue ID, project ID, team key) before calling tools.

Step 3

Execute Linear MCP tool calls in logical batches:

  • Read first (list/get/search) to build context.
  • Create or update next (issues, projects, labels, comments) with all required fields.
  • For bulk operations, explain the grouping logic before applying changes.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
