linear-task-planning

linear-task-planning is a skill for Codex from onatm/agent-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (716 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning approved engineering plans into implementation tasks in Linear, a project-management tool for software teams. It uses Linear’s official connection and requires a reviewed preview before changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Linear teams and projects, break approved plans into issues, check for duplicates, and create or update tasks after review.
Why use it?
It helps create clear, self-contained tasks while reducing duplicate work and preventing invented project details.

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-task-planning 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 6d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear Task Planning

Turn approved engineering plans into clear, self-contained Linear issues. Use the official Linear MCP for discovery and mutations. Do not implement code or edit project files.

Source Authority

Read only the project material needed for the requested scope. Resolve conflicts in this order unless the project says otherwise:

  1. Accepted architecture decisions.
  2. Architecture and component designs.
  3. Roadmap phase gates and phase plans.
  4. The user's current instruction.

Do not generate implementation work that depends on an unresolved decision. Create a decision or research issue only when the source plan explicitly allows it or the user approves it.

Discover Linear Context

Use Linear MCP read tools before proposing work:

  • Identify the workspace and candidate team.
  • Find an existing project before proposing a new one.
  • Read available statuses, labels, milestones, cycles, and issue relationships.
  • Search for matching issue titles and source identifiers to prevent duplicates.
  • Ask the user when team or project placement is ambiguous.

Never invent Linear IDs, status names, labels, projects, or relationships.

Decompose Work

Generate tasks from one approved phase, work package, or implementation plan at a time.

  • Target roughly half a day to three engineering days per issue.
  • Split work above five days or work containing independent contracts.
  • Preserve prerequisite order and capability gates.
  • Prefer a vertical, observable outcome over vague layer activity.
  • Separate reusable harnesses, research decisions, persisted-format changes, and migrations when independently deliverable.
  • Do not add speculative features, abstractions, or compatibility work.

Each issue must be implementable without hidden decisions and contain:

  • Outcome.
  • Scope.
  • Non-goals.
  • Prerequisites and dependencies.
  • Affected contracts or components.
  • Proposed implementation steps when established by source material.
  • Failure cases.
  • Required tests and benchmarks.
  • Documentation impact.
  • Acceptance evidence.

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-task-planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository onatm/agent-skills (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 716 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
