What it does
Linear is an agent skill from arcboxlabs/linkcode. ArcBox's Linear workflow. Use whenever starting a task that may have or need a tracking issue, or working with Linear at all — finding, creating, or updating issues, syncing progress, moving status, triage, or branch/PR linking. Trigger on any mention of Linear, an issue/ticket, an issue ID like ABX-123, a project, the board, or sprint/standup planning.
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Meeting notes and agendas. The repository describes itself as: Open-source alternative to Codex App / Workbuddy, supporting Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and Grok Build. Codex App / WorkBuddy 的开源平替，支持 Codex、Claude Code、OpenCode、Pi 和 Grok…
When your agent uses it
- Starting a task that may have
- Need a tracking issue
- Working with Linear at all — finding
- Updating issues
Example prompts
- “/linear”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Search first. Look for an existing issue before doing the work — list_issues(query:…), or filter by project/label/assignee. Don't assume…
- If none exists, don't silently create it. Ask the user the scope: which team and project, and whether it's one issue or several…
- If one exists, read it fully (get_issue, includeRelations:true) and bring it up to date before working
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22c337f. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 990 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 506 words (~990 tokens).
“Linear is the source of truth for what's being worked on. Keep issues in sync with reality, and treat an issue's history as shared — prefer adding over rewriting.”
