A workflow for managing Linear issues, projects, and cycles through Linear's official MCP connection. Linear is a project-tracking service for software teams.

In plain words
What is it for?
It reads, creates, updates, and triages tickets; plans cycles; audits project documentation; reviews dependencies; and balances team workload.
Why use it?
It lets an agent handle planning and issue maintenance in the team's existing Linear workspace instead of relying on separate manual updates.

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 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.

Linear

Structured workflow for managing Linear issues, projects and cycles through the official Linear MCP server (https://mcp.linear.app/mcp, OAuth).

This skill assumes the MCP is wired into your AI tool. See docs/MCP.md and ~/.local/share/agent-toolkit/mcp/linear/ for the managed template.

When to use

  • "Open a Linear ticket for X", "triage open bugs", "plan the next cycle".
  • Sprint/cycle planning, retrospectives, documentation audits.
  • Cross-project dependency review or workload rebalancing.
  • Any natural-language request that maps onto Linear's MCP toolset.

Prerequisites

  1. Linear MCP server connected via OAuth in your AI tool of choice.
  2. Workspace access to the relevant teams and projects.
  3. agent-toolkit template available at ~/.local/share/agent-toolkit/mcp/linear/ (deployed by chezmoi apply).

Setup (per AI tool)

The Linear MCP is a streamable HTTP endpoint with OAuth. Register it in your AI tool of choice using the agent-toolkit template as reference:

AI tool Where to register
Claude Code ~/.claude/mcp.json (or via claude mcp add)
Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json
OpenCode ~/.config/opencode/mcp.json
Windsurf ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

Copy ~/.local/share/agent-toolkit/mcp/linear/config.template.json into the right location and follow the OAuth prompt the first time you call a Linear tool.

Windows / WSL note: if direct connections fail on Windows, run the MCP through WSL using npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.linear.app/sse --transport sse-only as the command. The template includes a comment block with this fallback.

Required workflow

Follow the steps in order. Do not skip read-before-write.

Step 1 — Clarify scope

Confirm with the user:

  • Team / project / cycle in scope.
  • Goal (triage, planning, audit, rebalance, release planning).
  • Filters that matter (priority, label, assignee, status).

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.
