A skill for managing Linear, a project-management tool for software teams, through its API. It works with issues, projects, teams, and collaboration data.

Use it to work with Linear issues, projects, teams, and statuses through API requests.

It lets an agent read and update Linear work without manually navigating the application.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00015	$0.04136
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.01654
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00827
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00414

Measured 1mo ago against content hash 2ef83d856471, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

linear 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 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Manage Linear issues, projects, and teams directly via the GraphQL API using `curl`. No MCP server, no OAuth flow, no extra dependencies.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 379 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear — Issue & Project Management

Manage Linear issues, projects, and teams directly via the GraphQL API using curl. No MCP server, no OAuth flow, no extra dependencies.

Setup

Get a personal API key from Linear Settings > Account > Security & access > Personal API keys (URL: https://linear.app/settings/account/security). Note: the org-level Settings > API page only shows OAuth apps and workspace-member keys, not personal keys.
Set LINEAR_API_KEY in your environment (via hermes setup or your env config)

API Basics

Endpoint: https://api.linear.app/graphql (POST)
Auth header: Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY (no "Bearer" prefix for API keys)
All requests are POST with Content-Type: application/json
Both UUIDs and short identifiers (e.g., ENG-123) work for issue(id:)

Base curl pattern:

curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "{ viewer { id name } }"}' | python3 -m json.tool

Connector and API Selection

Use the host's connected Linear tools when they cover the requested operation. The standalone Python helper referenced by older copies is not bundled and is unavailable at this skill's archived upstream commit; use the GraphQL examples below when a connector is unavailable.

Keep credentials in the environment and out of reports or committed files. Read the response's errors field as well as the HTTP status. Resolve team, workflow state and project identifiers before mutation. Paginate pageInfo.hasNextPage with endCursor when listing large collections. Write issues or comments only within the user's requested scope.

Workflow States

Linear uses WorkflowState objects with a type field. 6 state types:

Type	Description
`triage`	Incoming issues needing review
`backlog`	Acknowledged but not yet planned
`unstarted`	Planned/ready but not started
`started`	Actively being worked on
`completed`	Done
`canceled`	Won't do

What ships with it

4 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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository seaworld008/Commonly-used-high-value-skills (73 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 4,136 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
