What it does

Linear is an agent skill from deadlock-mod-manager/deadlock-mod-manager. Read Linear tickets and resolve their comments, dependencies, and acceptance criteria; update tickets when the user requests it.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 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 Product & Project Management, covering User stories. The repository describes itself as: A mod manager for the Valve game Deadlock. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve User stories

Example prompts

  • “/linear”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8bb56d1. 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 336 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~336

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.

Linear

Use the connected Linear plugin or MCP server. Discover available tools rather than assuming a particular naming prefix or create/update API.

  • Read the issue, comments, relations, team, and project before implementing. Use ticket identifiers or URLs supplied by the user; resolve ambiguous matches before writing.
  • Read team statuses and labels before changing them. Preserve existing labels when an update replaces the whole label set.
  • Confirm bug reports through reproduction before creating an issue. DMM does not accept issues based on static analysis alone.
  • Implementing code does not authorize comments, assignments, or status changes. Make only the ticket writes the user requested.
  • Keep descriptions concise: observable problem, reproduction evidence, expected behavior, or checkable acceptance criteria. Report writes with the issue identifier and URL.
  • Do not assume the agency repo's team prefix, labels, cycle policy, or GitHub integration applies to DMM.

If tools are unavailable, use the user's supplied ticket text and identify missing context. Configure Linear through the user's agent client; keep OAuth credentials out of this repository.
