linear

linear is a skill for Claude Code from magnus919/agent-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for working with Linear, a project-management service for software teams. It uses Linear's API to access teams, projects, issues, comments, workflow states, and documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing and searching issues, checking projects and workflow states, creating or updating work items, adding comments, and finding Linear documents.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage software work manually in a browser when you want to search, inspect, or update Linear data from a terminal.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ruby scripts/validate-skills.rb.

Good fit Listing and searching issues, checking projects and workflow states, creating or updating work items, adding comments, and finding Linear documents.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

Made for: Claude Code.

Its marketplace also offers this one on its own, as the plugin linear/plugin install linear after adding the marketplace above.

  • NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026
SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 9
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 70
    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.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tests/test_linear.py), 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.

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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear

Use scripts/linear from this skill directory. It is a small, dependency-free wrapper around Linear's public GraphQL API, not an MCP server. Use command-specific --help rather than copying the full command reference into a response.

Setup

  1. Inspect the available command and relevant noun: scripts/linear --help and scripts/linear issue --help.
  2. For a live request, set exactly one credential in the process environment. Use LINEAR_API_KEY for a personal key or LINEAR_ACCESS_TOKEN for OAuth. Never print, persist, or place either in a command transcript.
  3. Begin with bounded discovery. Reads default to --limit 10; the maximum is 100.
  4. Output is always JSON: compact with --json, indented without it. --dry-run makes no network request and previews the operation.

What ships with it

8 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.
