In plain words

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 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.

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.

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.
