linearis is a skill for Claude Code from linearis-oss/linearis. It costs 111 tokens per session (1,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line skill for managing Linear, a project-management service where teams track issues, projects, sprints, roadmaps, documents, and discussions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect or manage Linear issues, projects, cycles, milestones, initiatives, documents, labels, teams, users, and issue comments.
Why use it?
It lets developers work with Linear from a shell and receive machine-readable JSON instead of switching between manual web screens. It also explains how to handle missing installation and login requirements.

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

linearis 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

linearis

Drive Linear.app from the shell via the linearis CLI (JSON-only output; linear is an alias). Do not guess the command surface — the CLI documents itself, and this skill teaches the protocol, not the flags.

Preflight (reactive — branch on the CLI's own output; don't pre-run checks every turn)

  • Not installed — if the shell reports command-not-found, tell the user linearis isn't installed and offer npm install -g linearis. As a no-install fallback, prefix commands with npx linearis@latest (adds cold-start latency and needs network per call — fallback, not default). Never silently npm install -g.
  • Auth required — any command may fail with this envelope on stderr and exit code 42: { "error": "AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED", "action": "USER_ACTION_REQUIRED", "instruction": "Run 'linearis auth login' …", "exit_code": 42 }. Detect it by exit_code === 42 / error === "AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED" (not paraphrased text) and surface the CLI's own instruction. linearis auth login is an interactive browser flow you cannot complete — hand it to the user.
  • Invalid invocation — an unknown command or option, a wrong argument count, or a command group named without a subcommand fails on stderr with exit code 2: { "error": "UNKNOWN_COMMAND", "message": "…", "suggestion": "Did you mean read?", "command": "linearis issues", "available_commands": [...], "instruction": "Run 'linearis issues usage' …", "exit_code": 2 }. Recover from the envelope, not by guessing: pick from available_commands, or run the instruction. error is one of UNKNOWN_COMMAND, UNKNOWN_OPTION, MISSING_ARGUMENT, MISSING_REQUIRED_OPTION, MISSING_OPTION_ARGUMENT, TOO_MANY_ARGUMENTS, MISSING_SUBCOMMAND, INVALID_USAGE. A bare group (linearis issues) is a failure, not a request for help.
  • Updates (advisory, never blocking) — optionally run linearis version check once → { current, latest, channel, updateAvailable }. If updateAvailable is true, mention it and ask the user before npm install -g linearis@latest, honoring channel (don't move a next user to latest). npm can hang or rate-limit; on any timeout/error just proceed with the installed version. Read the plain installed version with linearis version (JSON), not --version.

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.
