A connection between an agent and Linear, a tool for managing software issues and project tickets. It can find issues, read their details, change their workflow state, and add comments.

Use it when working from issue IDs such as ENG-123, checking assigned or open tickets, reporting progress, moving work through states, or posting a pull-request link.

It keeps ticket-driven coding work connected to the issue tracker. It also ensures state changes use the correct workflow option for the relevant team.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Excessive Agency · line 118
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00022	$0.02002
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00801
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00400
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00200

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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/common.sh, scripts/linear-add-comment.sh, scripts/linear-get-issue.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear Skill

You can read, search, and update Linear issues, list workflow states, and post comments. Use this skill as the entry point for ticket-driven workflows — turn ENG-123 into a structured payload, transition state, comment on progress.

When to use this skill

The user references a Linear issue by identifier (ENG-123, OPS-7, etc.).
The user asks for "my tickets" / "open issues" / "what's assigned to me".
An automation needs to mark work started, post a PR link as a comment, or move a ticket through workflow states.

Issue identifier format

Linear identifiers look like <TEAM_KEY>-<NUMBER> — ENG-123, OPS-7. They are not GraphQL UUIDs. The Linear API accepts both forms on issue(id:), so always pass the human identifier the user gave you. Never invent or normalise identifiers — use them verbatim.

State transition pattern (hard rule)

You MUST call linear_get_workflow_states first and use the resolved id when calling linear_update_issue_state. State IDs are per-team UUIDs; state names like "Todo" or "In Progress" are not portable across teams and cannot be passed to linear_update_issue_state directly.

Workflow:

linear_get_issue to find the issue's team.id.
linear_get_workflow_states with that team_id to enumerate the team's states.
Pick the state by matching its name (case-insensitive) or type (unstarted, started, completed, canceled, triage, backlog).
linear_update_issue_state with the issue identifier and the resolved state_id.

Commenting etiquette

What ships with it

7 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.
