linear

linear is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yc-software/qm. It costs 24 tokens per session (901 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A connection to Linear, a service teams use to track issues, projects, and planned work. It lets the agent work with the user's Linear data through their connected account.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find or read issues, check progress, create bugs, add comments, and update issues or projects.
Why use it?
It avoids switching to Linear for routine work-tracking tasks and keeps actions tied to the user's own account.

About the project

QM is a shared work environment for coding agents that gives each employee and conversation an isolated workspace while allowing collaboration in Slack and on the web. Startups use it to run agents for individuals, teams, and company operations, with selectable harnesses and models. The catalogue entries extend QM with skills, instructions, and settings.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linear

Use this skill when the user asks about Linear issues, tickets, projects, cycles, or their team's work tracking — finding issues, checking status, filing a bug, leaving a comment, or updating an issue.

This is an OAuth connector. The resolved user's Linear token already lives on your computer as an environment variable (the way a logged-in CLI's cached credential would):

  • $VAULT_TOKEN_API_LINEAR_APP — for api.linear.app

Linear's API is GraphQL at https://api.linear.app/graphql. Pass the token as a bearer header (-H "Authorization: Bearer $VAULT_TOKEN_API_LINEAR_APP"). Do not ask the user for a token, log it, or use another principal's credential.

If the variable is empty or the API returns 401/400 (authentication), tell the user they need to connect Linear (Connectors page) and stop — don't guess at issue data.

Find / read issues

Query issues by text, assignee, or state:

curl -sS -X POST 'https://api.linear.app/graphql' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAULT_TOKEN_API_LINEAR_APP" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ issues(first: 20, filter: { title: { containsIgnoreCase: \"login\" } }) { nodes { identifier title state { name } assignee { name } url } } }"}'

Read one issue by id/identifier:

curl -sS -X POST 'https://api.linear.app/graphql' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAULT_TOKEN_API_LINEAR_APP" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ issue(id: \"ENG-123\") { identifier title description state { name } assignee { name } url comments { nodes { body user { name } } } } }"}'

Keep issue identifiers and urls in your answer so claims can be traced.

To create or assign an issue you usually need a team id — list them once:

curl -sS -X POST 'https://api.linear.app/graphql' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAULT_TOKEN_API_LINEAR_APP" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ teams(first: 100) { nodes { id key name } pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } } }"}'

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.
