create is a write: confirm the team, title, and description with the user before creating, unless standing permission to file issues exists.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linear loads about 524 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~524

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

SKILL.md

The full file from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors at commit d6dc5d8, republished under its MIT licence (© Anil-matcha). 196 words, ~524 tokens.

Linear

Purpose

Work with the user's Linear workspace over GraphQL: view your assigned issues and create new issues. Use when the user mentions Linear or wants an issue created or checked.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/linear.py:

bash

bin/linear.py auth                                            # verify the connection (viewer query)
bin/linear.py issues                                          # your assigned issues (title, state, team)
bin/linear.py create --team-id TEAM_UUID --title "T" \
    --description "details"                                   # create an issue

Get a team's UUID from the Linear UI (team settings) or ask the user.

Auth

Provider id: linear (credential is collected as custom.linear)
Collection: Linear personal API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); create one at linear.app/settings/api
Required scopes: n/a (personal API keys carry your full account access: guard accordingly)
Allowed hosts: api.linear.app
Status check: bin/linear.py auth (must print your name and email)

Operating Rules

create is a write: confirm the team, title, and description with the user before creating, unless standing permission to file issues exists.
Reading (auth, issues) needs no confirmation.
Linear rate-limits GraphQL; if a call returns 429, back off and retry once.
The personal API key has full account access: treat it as sensitive as a password. The CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/linear.py); do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
