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 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 14 executable files (scripts/add-comment.py, scripts/add-issues-to-milestone.py, scripts/add-issues-to-project.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.

Linear Project & Ticket Management

This skill manages Linear through the GraphQL endpoint only. Do not use linearis or any other CLI wrapper. The project scripts in .claude/skills/linear/scripts/ share a single GraphQL client and hit https://api.linear.app/graphql directly.

Prerequisites

Required: API Token

export LINEAR_API_TOKEN='lin_api_xxxxx'

Get the token from Linear → Settings → Security & Access → Personal API keys.

Verify Setup

uv run .claude/skills/linear/scripts/read-ticket.py ICE-2041

If this returns ticket JSON, auth and GraphQL access are working.

IMPORTANT: Use Scripts First

Prefer the scripts in .claude/skills/linear/scripts/ over ad hoc curl calls. They resolve names to IDs, normalize errors, and keep output JSON-shaped for agent workflows. If you need raw queries for debugging or unsupported operations, use references/graphql-reference.md.

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.
