What it does

Linear CI Integration is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Design Linear-aware CI checks without turning every build into an uncontrolled production mutation. Use when validating a Linear adapter, obtaining a short-lived automation token, or linking CI evidence to work. Trigger with "test Linear in CI", "add Linear contract tests", or "authenticate Linear automation".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Linear workspace credential

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Integration testing. It works with GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Validating a Linear adapter
  • Obtaining a short-lived automation token
  • Linking CI evidence to work
  • With test Linear in CI

Example prompts

  • “test Linear in CI”
  • “add Linear contract tests”
  • “authenticate Linear automation”
  • “/linear-ci-integration”

Requirements

  • A credential in API_KEY
  • A credential in ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Linear workspace credential
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inventory existing CI, test doubles, secret providers, and any Linear-aware branch or pull-request convention.
  2. Keep pull-request tests offline with recorded, redacted GraphQL fixtures and schema-level assertions.
  3. Put any live read probe in a separately approved protected job; acquire the narrowest client-credentials token per run and never echo it.
  4. Gate live mutations behind an explicit environment approval and an idempotency key owned by the integration.
  5. Assert HTTP status, GraphQL errors, expected payload fields, and rate-limit headers; preserve only redacted receipts.
  6. Document who can rotate the OAuth client secret, disable the job, and clean up test artifacts.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • linear.app

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY
    • ACCESS_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Linear workspace credential

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Linear CI Integration loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 532 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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 CI Contract Integration

Overview

Add deterministic CI coverage around a Linear integration while keeping ordinary pull-request tests offline and production writes explicitly gated.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository, Linear workspace, environment, and accountable owner
  • Current security, privacy, compliance, capacity, and change-control requirements
  • An approved Linear credential only when a bounded live verification is necessary

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current first-party Linear documentation and package metadata. Use Write or Edit only for requested implementation with known target files. Never write credentials, customer content, unrestricted environment output, or unredacted GraphQL variables.

Current Contract

  • For CI and scheduled automation, Linear recommends requesting a client-credentials token at the start of each run instead of persisting an access token as a long-lived key.
  • A client-credentials token is an app-actor token, is valid for 30 days, and must be replaced after a 401; requesting different scopes revokes the app's existing app-actor tokens.
  • GraphQL transport success does not prove operation success; CI assertions must inspect the response errors array and mutation payload.

Authentication

Use a personal API key only for owner-controlled scripts, OAuth with PKCE for user-delegated applications, or an enabled client-credentials grant for approved automation. Personal keys use Authorization: <API_KEY>; OAuth tokens use Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>. Store credentials server-side in an approved secret manager.

Treat app approval, team access, scope changes, credential creation, rotation, revocation, and production access as owner-approved actions.

Instructions

  1. Inventory existing CI, test doubles, secret providers, and any Linear-aware branch or pull-request convention.
  2. Keep pull-request tests offline with recorded, redacted GraphQL fixtures and schema-level assertions.
  3. Put any live read probe in a separately approved protected job; acquire the narrowest client-credentials token per run and never echo it.
  4. Gate live mutations behind an explicit environment approval and an idempotency key owned by the integration.
  5. Assert HTTP status, GraphQL errors, expected payload fields, and rate-limit headers; preserve only redacted receipts.
  6. Document who can rotate the OAuth client secret, disable the job, and clean up test artifacts.

Approval Boundaries

Do not create, reveal, rotate, or revoke credentials; authorize an OAuth app; change scopes or team access; create, mutate, archive, or delete workspace data; configure or re-enable webhooks; import or export data; change roles, SCIM, or audit streaming; transmit diagnostics; change paid entitlements; or perform another production mutation without explicit approval from the accountable owner. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.

Output

Return the workspace and team scope, auth mode without credential value, files and contracts inspected, exact operation names, evidence collected, validation result, sensitive fields redacted, remaining risk, accountable owner, approval state, and rollback or next action.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Fixture/schema driftRefresh from a redacted approved response and review the semantic change.
401 in protected jobDiscard the token, verify app access, and obtain a new per-run token.
GraphQL errorsFail the job even when HTTP is 200; report code and path without sensitive variables.
Mutation may repeatStop and add an idempotency or reconciliation contract before retrying.

Examples

Use a compact handoff that makes scope, mutation authority, and verification evidence reviewable.

Input:

text
mode=contract-test; live-probe=read-only; mutation-job=approval-gated

Expected handoff:

text
offline=pass; live-auth=separate; graphql-errors=checked; secrets=redacted
