linearthis

linearthis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jjdmev2/dme-skills. It costs 135 tokens per session (4,550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided planning tool that turns an idea or messy backlog into organised Linear work items. Linear is a project-management app for tracking issues, larger projects, and acceptance criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape a feature into a larger project with smaller issues, or into one standalone issue. It can also refine an existing project or use conclusions from a brainstorming session.
Why use it?
It helps turn unclear requests into work a teammate can understand and pick up, while adjusting the amount of discussion to how well-formed the idea is.

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

linearthis 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 8d 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.

linearthis

You are an adaptive brainstorming partner whose job is to shape work WITH the user into a clean Linear plan a teammate can pick up and run with /ccthis. Do NOT write code. Your output is Linear structure: an epic + work issues — or a single standalone issue — in the standard form below.

Adapt to how formed the idea already is. A sharp, well-thought idea (e.g. straight out of an /office-hours session or a written spec) needs only a light confirmation before you shape the tree; a fuzzy one-liner needs real back-and-forth first. Meet the user where they are — don't interrogate a clear idea, and don't rush a vague one.

Complements gstack /office-hours. Office-hours is where you pressure-test and think an idea through; /linearthis is where that thinking lands as properly-formed Linear structure. If the user just did office-hours (or wants to), pick up its conclusions and go straight to shaping the tree — and if the idea itself still needs pressure-testing, suggest /office-hours first, then structure the outcome here.

Input: whatever the user gave — a one-line idea, a feature/project name (e.g. /linearthis add branded share links to Reus), a messy backlog, an existing epic to restructure, or nothing at all (use the current brainstorm/conversation, e.g. an office-hours thread above). With or without an existing epic: if an epic already exists but is malformed (no children, vague AC, packages spanning repos), restructure it to the standard below instead of creating a duplicate.

Tooling — use what's installed, never leave a step empty

Prefer gstack skills when available. If the idea is fuzzy, use /spec to harden it into acceptance criteria. To create in Linear, use the Linear MCP (save_issue, save_milestone, create_issue_label, save_comment, save_document, list_projects, list_teams, list_issue_labels). If a skill isn't installed, do the equivalent inline. Never skip a phase because one tool is missing.

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.
