linear-api

A skill for managing Linear issues, projects, kanban boards, and cycles through Linear's connected tools and related commands. Linear is a work-tracking service commonly used to organize software tasks and sprints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view boards, track sprint progress, manage issues and projects, archive or delete issues, edit comments, or enrich issues with code context.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent a defined way to handle both routine Linear operations and specialized board, cycle, deletion, and comment tasks.

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 B, and why

linear-api scanned grade B with 2 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.

Linear API Skill

Manage Linear issues, boards, and cycles. Uses Linear MCP for standard operations and plugin commands for unique features.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • View a kanban board of current tasks (/linear:board)
  • Manage sprints/cycles and track velocity (/linear:cycle)
  • Archive or delete issues (/linear:delete)
  • Edit or delete comments (/linear:comment)
  • Auto-enrich issues with code context (issue-enricher agent)

For standard CRUD operations (create, get, list, update, search issues, add comments, manage projects/teams), use the Linear MCP tools directly — they are provided by the official Linear MCP server.

Trigger phrases for plugin commands:

  • "What's on the board?" / "Show kanban"
  • "Current sprint status" / "Sprint velocity"
  • "Archive issue TEAM-123"
  • "Edit comment on TEAM-456"

Architecture: MCP + Plugin

Linear MCP (standard operations)

The official Linear MCP server (mcp.linear.app) provides ~21 tools:

  • Issues: list_issues, list_my_issues, get_issue, create_issue, update_issue, search
  • Projects: list_projects, get_project, create_project, update_project
  • Teams: list_teams, get_team
  • Users: list_users, get_user
  • Comments: list_comments, create_comment
  • Documents: get_document, list_documents, search_documentation
  • Workflow: list_issue_statuses, get_issue_status, list_issue_labels
  • Initiatives, milestones, project updates

Plugin commands (unique features)

Command Feature
/linear:board ASCII kanban board visualization
/linear:cycle Cycle management with velocity stats
/linear:delete Archive/delete issues
/linear:comment Edit/delete comments (MCP only supports create)

issue-enricher agent

Analyzes codebase to auto-suggest issue attributes (description, labels, estimate, priority). Works with both MCP create_issue and /linear:create flows.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository ruslan-korneev/claude-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 962 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
