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-triage 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 14d 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.

Linear Issue Triage Automation

Set up an automation that triages new Linear issues — classifying, labeling, and suggesting owners automatically.


Prerequisites

Required integration

  • Linear MCP must be installed in Settings → MCP.

Information to collect

Ask the user for:

  1. Teams/projects — which Linear teams or projects should be triaged (e.g. Engineering, Support)
  2. Label taxonomy — what labels are used for classification? (e.g. bug, feature, support, chore)
  3. Priority conventions — how does the team use priority levels? Any mapping rules?
  4. Auto-apply or suggest — should the automation apply labels/priority/assignee directly, or post a triage comment with suggestions for human approval?
  5. Duplicate detection — should it search for and flag potential duplicate issues?

Setup Workflow

Step 1 — Verify Linear MCP access

Confirm the Linear MCP integration is working:

Use the Linear MCP to list recent issues for one of the target teams.

If it fails, tell the user to install the Linear MCP integration first.

Step 2 — Determine trigger type

Event-based (recommended if publicly reachable): Check <RUNTIME_SERVICES> for deployment reachability. If public, recommend an event trigger on Linear Issue create events.

Cron-based (local/private deployments): Poll for recently created issues on a schedule (e.g. every 5 minutes).

Step 3 — Build the triage prompt

Construct a prompt that includes:

  • Target teams/projects
  • Label taxonomy and classification rules
  • Priority mapping conventions
  • Whether to auto-apply or suggest
  • Duplicate detection preference

Step 4 — Create the automation

Set OPENHANDS_HOST and AUTH_HEADER for the request below:

  • OpenHands Cloud or Enterprise - a <HOST> value is in your system prompt: use it as OPENHANDS_HOST, with AUTH_HEADER="Authorization: Bearer $OPENHANDS_API_KEY"
  • Local Agent Canvas - an Automation backend is listed in <RUNTIME_SERVICES>: use its url_from_agent as OPENHANDS_HOST, with AUTH_HEADER="X-Session-API-Key: $OPENHANDS_AUTOMATION_API_KEY"

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.
