What it does

Linear is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. Manage Linear issues, projects, and workflows via CLI. This skill should be used when the user wants to create, list, update, or search Linear issues, manage projects or milestones, or interact with their Linear workspace. Triggers on "create a task", "add a Linear issue", "list my issues", "update GLE-123", "what's in my backlog", or any Linear-related request.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. It works with Linear. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“create a task”
“add a Linear issue”
“list my issues”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. 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 1 file in scripts/, 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 565 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~565

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from glebis/claude-skills at commit 7524dff, republished under its MIT licence (© glebis). 152 words, ~565 tokens.

Priority: urgent, high, medium, low, none (or 0-4).

Due date: YYYY-MM-DD, today, tomorrow.

List issues

bash

linear list --mine --status "In Progress"
linear list --team GLE --status Todo --limit 10
linear list --priority high --json

linear update GLE-123 --priority urgent --due 2026-05-01
linear update GLE-123 --assignee me --title "New title"

Add a comment

bash

linear comment GLE-123 "This is done, merging now"

Workspace info

bash

linear teams
linear me
linear statuses --team GLE

Conventions

Use team key (e.g. GLE), not full team name, in --team flags.
Default assignee: me unless specified otherwise.
Default state for new issues: Todo.
Use --due today for same-day tasks.
The CLI outputs human-readable text by default; pass --json for machine-readable output.
When creating issues from conversation context, write a concise title and structured markdown description.
