linear-issue

A workflow for creating a Linear issue, where Linear is a tool for tracking software work. It gathers context, searches for similar issues, infers the issue details, creates it, and reports the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn the current coding discussion into a Linear issue, find related existing issues, choose the relevant project fields, create the ticket, and summarize what was created.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate tickets and fills in likely team, priority, status, and relationships from the available project context. This avoids creating an issue with missing or poorly chosen tracking 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-issue 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 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.

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.

Creating Linear Issues

Single-pass workflow: gather context, search existing issues, infer fields informed by what's already filed, create issue.

Workflow

1. CONTEXT  → Gather signals: args, conversation, directory, git branch
2. SEARCH   → list_issues broadly to find duplicates, related issues, and inform inference
3. TEAMS    → list_teams to get available teams (informed by search results)
4. INFER    → Determine title, description, team, priority, status, labels, project, links, relationships
5. CREATE   → create_issue with inferred fields + relationships
6. REPORT   → Display created issue summary

Step 1: CONTEXT

Gather all available signals:

  • Args: Description provided after /linear-issue — primary signal
  • Conversation: If no args, summarize current discussion as issue description
  • Directory: Current working directory/package (e.g. packages/ai/ suggests AI-related team)
  • Git branch: Branch name often encodes feature/bug context

Search existing issues before anything else — what's already filed informs every downstream decision including team selection.

  1. Call list_issues with keywords extracted from the context (args, conversation summary, branch name)
  2. Search broadly across teams — no team filter yet, since search results may reveal the correct team
  3. Collect results into three buckets:
Bucket Criteria Used for
Duplicates Same intent and scope as new issue Stop and warn user
Related Same area, overlapping context Relationship inference in Step 4
Informative Same team/area but different scope Team/priority/status inference in Step 4

If a strong duplicate is found (same intent and scope): STOP. Do not proceed to Step 4. Report the existing issue:

Possible duplicate found — did not create.
Existing: TEAM-99 "Add retry logic to extraction agent"
Status: In Progress  |  Assignee: @charles
URL: https://linear.app/...

Reply if you still want to create a new issue.

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-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository ReviewStage/stage-cli (265 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,896 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 2026-08-30.
