linear

A command-line tool for Linear, a service teams use to track issues, projects, milestones, cycles, and related work. It can read and change those records through commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, create, update, complete, archive, or relate issues; manage projects and milestones; add comments and labels; handle cycles; and look up teams, users, statuses, or documents.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents one defined way to inspect and update project-tracking data. Local caching can make reads available quickly while changes are sent through the live commands.

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 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 56 executable files (scripts/_activity-emit.sh, scripts/commands/auth-check.sh, scripts/commands/cache-query.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

A "labelIds not exclusive child labels" error means two labels from one exclusive group. Requires Bash 4.0+ (macOS system Bash 3.2 is unsupported), `curl`, and `jq`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear CLI

Problem with this skill? Run kendex report — it files to the owning repo automatically. Do not hand-file.

.agents/skills/linear/scripts/linear.sh <resource> <action> [options]

Reads go through cache; writes go through the live commands, which write through to the cache. linear.sh <resource> --help prints per-resource options.

Commands

Resource Actions
issues list, get, bulk-get, create, update, bulk-update, archive, trash/delete, children, list-relations, add-relation, remove-relation, activate, block, unblock, complete, validate-completion
comments list, create, update, delete
projects list, get, create, update, delete, list-dependencies, add-dependency, remove-dependency, post-update, list-updates, reorder, set-sort-order
initiatives list, get, create, update, delete, add-project, remove-project
milestones list, get, create, update, delete
labels / project-labels list, create, update, delete
teams / users / statuses / documents list, get (users also has me)
cycles list, create, update
sync Refresh the local cache (--full, --reconcile, --if-stale N, --stats)
cache Cache-only reads: issues, projects, comments, labels, initiatives, cycles, attachments, status
auth-check Report the resolved key/team and writes_enabled (--strict exits non-zero when writes would refuse)
session-status Aggregated status for the /start workflow

Aliases: issues relationslist-relations, projects dependencieslist-dependencies. Singular resource names (issue, project, …) route to the plural.

There is no view/show. Single-issue lookups are issues get <ID> (live) or cache issues get <ID>; multi-issue lookups are issues bulk-get <ID1> <ID2> ..., which is also the post-mutation verification path.

Schema reference over ctx7: /websites/studio_apollographql_public_linear-api_variant_current (API), /linear/linear (SDK), /websites/linear_app_developers (guides). patterns/workflow-actions.md covers multi-step state changes.

What ships with it

60 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.
