linear-intake

linear-intake is a skill for Claude Code from specsnl/agent-specs. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,184 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning informal client requests—such as email, WhatsApp messages, spoken notes, or a Linear issue link—into a structured Linear development ticket. Linear is a tool for tracking software work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft feature requests, bug reports, acceptance criteria, and quality-assurance steps in a consistent format.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity from raw requests so developers know what exists, what should change, and how to verify it. It also preserves relevant language and context for the development team.

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-intake 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.

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.
