linear

A skill for reading and changing Linear data through its GraphQL API. Linear is a project-management tool where teams track issues, projects, cycles, and workflow states.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing and filtering issues, creating issues, changing assignees, priorities, or states, and adding comments or combining Linear data with other sources.
Why use it?
It lets an agent work with live Linear workspace data programmatically instead of requiring manual interface work or a separate MCP server.

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 B, and why

linear scanned grade B with 2 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

**Do NOT suggest editing `~/.claude/settings.local.json` manually.** The `teleport-setup add-key` command handles it with backup, validation, and masked input. Stop execution until the user has run the command and restar

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear

Operates Linear via its GraphQL API — one endpoint, queries and mutations for issues, projects, cycles, teams, states, comments. Use when the task needs live workspace state.

Usage

  • Use for: Listing/filtering issues, creating issues, bulk state/assignee/priority updates, joining Linear data with other sources.
  • Skip for: Advice on process, pricing/marketing questions, anything requiring the UI (screenshots, drag-and-drop), pure discussion of an issue you can already read.

Credentials check

[ -n "$LINEAR_API_KEY" ] && echo "LINEAR_API_KEY: PRESENT" || echo "LINEAR_API_KEY: MISSING"

Never echo the variable directly — the value would appear in the conversation transcript. Use only the boolean pattern above.

If MISSING, respond to the user with EXACTLY this message (do NOT paraphrase, do NOT suggest manual JSON edits):

I need your linear credential. Run this in another terminal — it'll open the signup page, validate format, and save it safely with masked input:

teleport-setup add-key linear

Then restart Claude Code (/exit, then claude) and ask me again.

Do NOT suggest editing ~/.claude/settings.local.json manually. The teleport-setup add-key command handles it with backup, validation, and masked input. Stop execution until the user has run the command and restarted.

API

  • Endpoint: https://api.linear.app/graphql — POST only, one URL for everything.
  • Auth (API keys lin_api_*): Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY — NO Bearer prefix. Bearer is only for OAuth access tokens (Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN). This is Linear's #1 auth error.
  • Content-Type: application/json. Body: {"query": "...", "variables": {...}}.
  • Rate limits are complexity-based: 5,000 req/hr, 3M complexity points/hr, 10K points max per query. Complexity = fields (0.1) + objects (1), scaled by first: — nested queries cost more.

GraphQL basics

  • Queries read, mutations write; both via POST /graphql. Pass inputs in variables (not string interpolation).
  • Responses are always HTTP 200, even on errors. Partial success returns both data and errors — always inspect .errors before trusting .data.

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.

linear is a skill published in the GitHub repository mnlt/teleport (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,679 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
