At a glance

A skill your agent uses whenever your task is a Linear issue (or an ADE chat/lane launched with a Linear issue attached) and you need to read or update that issue — change its workflow state…

  • Your task is a Linear issue (or an ADE chat/lane launched with a Linear issue attached) and you need to read
  • SKILL.md covers What you have, Knowing which issue is yours, Reading and Updating (you have write access), plus 5 more sections
  • Calls node; reaches linear.app
  • Update that issue — change its workflow state

What it does

Ade Linear is an agent skill from arul28/ADE. Use this skill whenever your task is a Linear issue (or an ADE chat/lane launched with a Linear issue attached) and you need to read or update that issue — change its workflow state, comment progress, assign it, add a label, or read its comments. ADE routes all of this through its own Linear connection via the ade linear CLI, so you have effective Linear write access with no API key.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Linear. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Your task is a Linear issue (or an ADE chat/lane launched with a Linear issue attached) and you need to read
  • Update that issue — change its workflow state
  • Comment progress
  • Read its comments

Example prompts

  • “/ade-linear”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fbbd974. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • 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:

    • linear.app

    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

Ade Linear loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

description
Use this skill whenever your task is a Linear issue (or an ADE chat/lane launched with a Linear issue attached) and you need to read or update that issue — change its workflow state, comment progress, assign it, add a label, or read its comments. ADE routes all of this through its own Linear connection via the `ade linear` CLI, so you have effective Linear write access with no API key.

ADE Linear

What you have

If ADE launched you on a Linear issue, that issue lives in ADE's Linear connection and you can both read and write it through the ade linear CLI. You do not hold a Linear token and you do not need one: every ade linear command routes over the ADE daemon to the desktop runtime, which owns the Linear credentials. The daemon does the authenticated Linear API call on your behalf.

You do not need to know how you were launched, what mode you are in, or how the issue got attached. You have a task, an attached issue, and these commands.

Prefer ade linear over any Linear MCP server or direct Linear API call — the ade linear bridge is the connection that is actually configured for this workspace, and it keeps the issue's ADE links and sync state consistent.

Knowing which issue is yours

When ADE attaches an issue to your session it injects two environment variables:

  • ADE_LINEAR_ISSUE_IDS — comma-separated identifiers of every attached issue, e.g. ENG-431,ENG-440. The first one is your primary issue.
  • ADE_LINEAR_CONTEXT_FILE — absolute path to a JSON file describing the attached issues. Read it for title, state, URL, and team before you act.
  • ADE_CHAT_SESSION_ID — your session id (used by the --this-session flag).

The context file looks like:

json
{
  "sessionId": "...",
  "updatedAt": "2026-05-29T...",
  "issues": [
    {
      "id": "uuid",
      "identifier": "ENG-431",
      "title": "Fix Linear deeplink race",
      "url": "https://linear.app/...",
      "stateName": "Todo",
      "role": "primary",
      "teamKey": "ENG"
    }
  ]
}

If those vars are unset, no issue is attached — fall back to passing an explicit identifier (e.g. ENG-431) to the read/write commands below, or check ade linear issues for what your session has.

Reading

The attached-issue commands default to your session's first attached issue when you omit the id (precedence: --issue-id <id> flag → leading positional → $ADE_LINEAR_ISSUE_IDS). So inside a tracked session you can drop the id.

bash
ade linear issues --text                         # list issues attached to this session
ade linear issue --text                          # read your attached issue (full detail)
ade linear issue ENG-431 --text                  # read a specific issue
ade linear issue-comments --issue-id ENG-431 --text   # read an issue's comment thread
ade linear graphql --query 'query { viewer { id name } }'  # advanced Linear API via ADE credentials
ade linear graphql --query-file query.graphql --variables-file vars.json

Use --text for human-readable output; omit it for JSON when you want to parse.

Updating (you have write access)

These move the issue forward through ADE's Linear connection — no API key. Each takes an optional leading issue id; omit it to target your attached issue.

bash
ade linear set-state ENG-431 <state-id>          # move workflow state (e.g. In Progress, Done)
ade linear comment "Pushed a fix, CI is running" # comment on your attached issue
ade linear comment ENG-431 "Done — see PR #123"  # comment on a specific issue
ade linear assign me                             # assign to the connected user
ade linear assign ENG-431 <user-id>              # assign to a specific user
ade linear assign none                           # clear the assignee (also: null / unassigned)
ade linear label ENG-431 "needs-review"          # add a label by name

Notes:

  • set-state takes a workflow state id, not a free-text name. To discover the valid states/ids (and users) for the issue picker, run ade linear picker-data --text (you may need to prefix --role cto: ade --role cto linear picker-data --text). The state id can also be passed via --state-id <id>.
  • comment, set-state, assign, and label all accept the value via a flag too (--message/-m, --state-id, --assignee, --label) if a positional is ambiguous.
  • Use ade linear graphql for Linear operations not covered by the typed commands. It still routes through ADE's saved Linear OAuth/API key; do not ask for or print token material.

Filing follow-up issues and linking issues

File a follow-up when you find a real, separate problem that is outside the scope of your issue. Do not file one for work you can finish inside your issue, for style nits, or for guesses you did not check.

bash
ade linear create --title "Share page leaks OG metadata" --description "…evidence, file:line…"
ade linear create --title "…" --blocked-by        # the new issue waits on your issue
ade linear create --title "…" --blocks            # your issue waits on the new one
ade linear create --title "…" --sub-issue         # a child of your issue
ade linear create --title "…" --standalone --team VER   # not linked to your issue
ade linear relate VER-12 --blocks VER-13          # link two existing issues
ade linear relate --related VER-40                 # link your issue to VER-40
ade linear inbox                                   # the connected user's unread Linear inbox

Rules:

  • create links the new issue to your attached issue as related by default, in the same team and project. It refuses when an open issue in that team has a near-identical title and prints that issue; link to it with relate instead. Pass --allow-duplicate only when you checked it is different.
  • File at most a few follow-ups per task. Put the evidence (what you saw, the file and line, how to reproduce) in --description.
  • After filing, add one comment on your own issue that names the new issue.

ADE posts its own Linear attachments/cards for lane, chat, and PR flows. The ade-deeplinks skill holds the matrix of which flow ADE covers automatically and which one leaves the link to you, plus the ade link ... commands and the HTTPS-vs-ade:// guidance.

The short version for this skill's commands: the direct issue actions (comment, set-state, assign, label, graphql) are the ones ADE does not link for you, so include the relevant ADE link yourself in any user-facing Linear comment — especially when the action creates new Linear state or hands work to a human.

bash
ade linear graphql --query-file create-issue.graphql --variables-file vars.json
ade linear comment NEW-123 "Created via ADE. Open in ADE: $(ade link linear-issue NEW-123 --no-clipboard)"

Attaching / detaching this session

bash
ade linear attach --this-session --issue-id ENG-431   # attach an issue to your session
ade linear detach --this-session --issue-id ENG-431   # detach one issue
ade linear detach --this-session                      # detach every issue from your session

Two commands outside the ade linear surface also attach an issue: ade chat attach-linear-issue <session> --issue-id <id> and ade lanes link-linear-issue <lane> --linear-issue-json '{...}'.

What lands where

An ade linear comment is the issue's status channel — it is what reviewers and the issue's watchers see, and it is visible to people who never open ADE. The workflow state you set with set-state is what shows in the team's board. Neither is inferred from your ADE activity; if you do not write them, the issue does not move.

set-state takes a workflow state id, and the valid states are per-team, so resolve the id with ade linear picker-data --text rather than assuming a Done/In Review convention.

Discovery

Run ade help linear for the full flag set, or ade linear --help. If ade is not on PATH, see the ade-cli-control-plane skill for the fallback resolution order ($ADE_CLI_PATH, $ADE_CLI_BIN_DIR/ade, or node apps/ade-cli/dist/cli.cjs).
