What it does

C Linear is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Manage Linear issues and projects using the linear CLI. List and filter issues, create new issues, update status, start work on a branch, and create linked pull requests directly from the terminal.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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 Development, covering Pull requests. It works with Linear. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/c-linear”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use linear issue list before creating issues to avoid duplicates.
  2. When starting work, linear issue start handles branch creation and status update in one command.
  3. Use issue identifiers (e.g., ENG-123) consistently — they are case-insensitive.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

C Linear loads about 442 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~442

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.

What This Skill Does

Uses the linear CLI to manage Linear issues — list, create, update, and transition issues, as well as start work and create linked PRs.

CLI Tool: linear

List & View Issues
bash
linear issue list                          # List your assigned issues
linear issue list --team ENG               # Filter by team
linear issue list --state "In Progress"    # Filter by state
linear issue view ENG-123                  # View issue details
Create Issues
bash
linear issue create \
  --title "Fix login redirect bug" \
  --description "Users are redirected to /home instead of /dashboard" \
  --team ENG \
  --priority 2 \
  --label bug
Update & Transition Issues
bash
linear issue update ENG-123 --state "In Progress"
linear issue update ENG-123 --assignee me
linear issue update ENG-123 --priority 1
Start Work
bash
# Creates a git branch linked to the issue
linear issue start ENG-123
Create a PR
bash
# Creates a PR linked to the Linear issue
linear pr create ENG-123

Usage Guidelines

  1. Use linear issue list before creating issues to avoid duplicates.
  2. When starting work, linear issue start handles branch creation and status update in one command.
  3. Use issue identifiers (e.g., ENG-123) consistently — they are case-insensitive.

Notes

  • Requires linear auth to be completed before use.
