When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e54d0ac. 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 yaml).
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 Issue Sync loads about 468 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~468

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.

name: linear-issue-sync
description: Sync Linear issues with local tasks. Use during daily planning or when user asks about Linear issues.

Linear Issue Sync

Check Linear for assigned issues and sync with local task management.

Instructions

Step 1: Fetch Assigned Issues

Call linear_list_issues filtered to:

Assigned to current user
Status not "Done" or "Canceled"

Step 2: Compare with Local Tasks

Check Tasks/ for existing files with Linear references:

Look for linear_id in YAML frontmatter
Identify new issues not yet in Tasks/

Step 3: Present Summary

Linear Issues (5 active):

**High Priority**
- LIN-123: Fix authentication timeout [In Progress]
- LIN-124: Update API documentation [Todo]

**Normal Priority**  
- LIN-125: Refactor user service [Backlog]

2 issues not yet in local Tasks. Create them?

Step 4: Sync Options

Option	Description
Create all	Add all new issues as local tasks
Select specific	Choose which to sync
Skip	Continue without syncing

Step 5: Create Local Tasks

For each issue to sync, create task file:

yaml

---
title: [Issue title]
category: technical
priority: [Map from Linear priority]
status: n
linear_id: LIN-XXX
---

Example Flow

User: "What should I work on today?"

Agent:

Fetches Linear issues
Compares with local tasks
"You have 3 new Linear issues..."
Offers to create local tasks
Continues with planning

Notes

Map Linear priorities to P0-P3
Keep linear_id in frontmatter for bidirectional sync
Update Linear status when local task completes

When to Use

Use this skill when the task directly matches the workflow described above.

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
