linear-expand

linear-expand is a skill for Claude Code from toolwright-adk/toolwright-monorepo. It costs 65 tokens per session (904 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for adding an epic and several related issues to an existing Linear project. It connects the work to milestones and applies suitable labels and structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to expand a Linear project with three or more connected pieces of work, such as a new feature area or implementation phase.
Why use it?
It avoids manually creating and wiring a group of related tasks into a project that already exists.

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-expand 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 5d 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.

Expand a Linear Project

Add an epic with child issues to an existing project using add-epic — one call that gets parent/child structure, milestone wiring, and labels automatically.

When to Use This vs. Other Tools

  • 3+ related issues that form a logical group → use this skill (add-epic)
  • 1-2 standalone issues → just use mcp__linear__save_issue directly
  • New project from scratch → use /linear-bootstrap instead

Workflow

0. Verify prerequisites

Confirm mcp__linear-bootstrap__add-epic is available. If not, tell the user the linear-bootstrap MCP server is not running and suggest troubleshooting.

1. Find the target project

Use $ARGUMENTS or ask the user which project to expand. Use mcp__linear__list_projects if needed.

2. Understand current project structure

Gather in parallel:

  • mcp__linear__get_project — project overview
  • mcp__linear__list_milestones — existing milestones (to wire the new epic to one)
  • mcp__linear__list_issues — existing issues (to avoid duplicates and understand naming patterns)
  • mcp__linear-bootstrap__introspect-workspace — team labels and workflow states (for label reuse)

3. Design the epic

From the user's description, determine:

  • Epic title and description
  • Which milestone to attach to (pick the most appropriate existing one)
  • Child issues with titles, priorities, estimates, labels, and dependencies
  • Labels to apply (reuse existing team labels where possible)

Show the user a summary: "I'll add epic 'Payment Retry Logic' with 5 issues to milestone 'M3: Checkout Flow'. Sound right?"

4. Create with add-epic

Use mcp__linear-bootstrap__add-epic with:

  • project_id — from step 2
  • team_id — from the project's team
  • epic — the designed structure
  • milestone_id — from step 2
  • label_ids — map of label name → ID from introspection

Report what was created: epic ID, child issue count, milestone, labels applied.

5. Handle errors

If add-epic fails partially, report what was created vs. what failed. The successfully created items remain in Linear.

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.
