linear-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Peiiii/nextclaw. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,358 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup and safety guide for managing Linear issues from the terminal through linear-cli. Linear is a project and issue-tracking service used to organize software work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, view, start, create, update, or delete issues, add comments, manage related project records, and connect branches or Jujutsu workspaces to issues.
Why use it?
It checks installation, authentication, repository settings, and the boundaries of read and write actions before changing project data.

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-cli 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 1mo 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.

Linear CLI (schpet/linear-cli)

Overview

Use this skill to help the user work through a local linear installation from inside NextClaw.

This skill is intentionally decoupled:

  • The skill owns explanation, onboarding, readiness checks, workflow choice, and risk handling.
  • The linear CLI owns actual execution against Linear’s API and the user’s git or Jujutsu workspace.

From the user’s point of view, the experience should feel complete:

  • install the CLI if needed,
  • ensure authentication and project configuration,
  • verify readiness with observable commands,
  • then run the real task.

Do not pretend the environment is ready when it is not.

What This Skill Covers

  • Issue workflows: list, view, start, create, update, delete, comments, PR helpers (when gh is available as documented upstream).
  • Team, project, milestone, and document commands exposed by the installed CLI.
  • Git branch–based “current issue” semantics and Jujutsu Linear-issue trailers when the user uses jj.
  • First-use setup: API key, linear auth login, and linear config in the target repository.
  • Readiness checks and bounded troubleshooting.

What This Skill Does Not Cover

  • Inventing flags or subcommands that do not appear in linear --help or the installed CLI help for the relevant subcommand.
  • Claiming Linear workspace permissions or plan limits the user does not have.
  • Silently bypassing missing authentication or broken configuration.
  • Silently triggering destructive or write actions without explicit user confirmation.
  • Treating third-party CLI behavior as native NextClaw behavior.

First-Use Workflow

When the user asks for a linear-powered task, follow this order.

1. Classify the task

Classify the task into one of these:

  • read-only (view, list, print id/url/title),
  • write (create/update/delete issues, start work, comments, milestones, documents),
  • VCS-assisted (branch creation, issue binding).

If the task does not fit what the CLI supports, say so clearly.

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.
