What it does

Linear Claude Skill is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Manage Linear issues, projects, and teams

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. It works with Linear and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project management

Example prompts

  • “/linear-claude-skill”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): [object Object]

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check Your Setup
  2. Get API Key (If Needed)
  3. Test Connection
  4. Common Operations

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • [object Object]

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mcp.linear.app

    Also links to:

    • linear.app

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LINEAR_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linear Claude Skill loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,013 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    cat .env.schema | grep LINEAR
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:82
    cat .env

    1. Create `.env.schema` with `@sensitive` annotation:

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
