What it does

Linear Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose Linear GraphQL and SDK failures from transport, response, and request evidence. Use when an integration returns partial data, authentication failures, rate limits, invalid input, or missing resources. Trigger with "debug Linear GraphQL", "Linear API error", or "why did Linear SDK fail".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 GraphQL, Rate limiting and Authentication. It works with GraphQL and Linear. 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

  • An integration returns partial data
  • Authentication failures
  • Missing resources
  • With debug Linear GraphQL

Example prompts

  • “debug Linear GraphQL”
  • “Linear API error”
  • “why did Linear SDK fail”
  • “/linear-common-errors”

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. Capture the operation name, HTTP status, GraphQL error code/path, SDK version, and redacted rate headers.
  2. Separate authentication, authorization, input, not-found, complexity, endpoint-budget, and service-health failures.
  3. Reproduce with the smallest read-only query using the same auth mode; do not paste tokens or full customer variables.
  4. For partial data, decide whether the caller must reject the whole response or can use explicitly safe fields.
  5. For throttling, follow reset metadata, shrink requested fields/pages, and coordinate all workers sharing the user or app budget.
  6. Return the root-cause evidence, bounded remediation, and a regression assertion.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ea8d4. 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 Common Errors loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 504 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

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 Error Triage

Overview

Classify a failure before changing code or credentials, because Linear can return GraphQL errors with HTTP 200 and throttling errors with HTTP 400.

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

  • Always inspect the GraphQL errors array; a response can include partial data and errors together.
  • Rate limiting is identified by extensions.code: RATELIMITED in an HTTP 400 GraphQL response, not by assuming HTTP 429.
  • The SDK exposes parsed LinearError details including query, variables, status, data, raw error, and per-error path/type when available.

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. Capture the operation name, HTTP status, GraphQL error code/path, SDK version, and redacted rate headers.
  2. Separate authentication, authorization, input, not-found, complexity, endpoint-budget, and service-health failures.
  3. Reproduce with the smallest read-only query using the same auth mode; do not paste tokens or full customer variables.
  4. For partial data, decide whether the caller must reject the whole response or can use explicitly safe fields.
  5. For throttling, follow reset metadata, shrink requested fields/pages, and coordinate all workers sharing the user or app budget.
  6. Return the root-cause evidence, bounded remediation, and a regression assertion.

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
HTTP 200 plus errorsTreat it as an application failure unless partial-data handling is explicitly designed.
HTTP 400 plus RATELIMITEDHonor reset data and reduce request or complexity pressure.
ForbiddenVerify team visibility and exact OAuth scope; do not broaden access by default.
Unknown schema fieldCheck introspection, SDK version, and deprecation notices before renaming code.

Examples

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

Input:

text
status=200; errors[0].path=issueCreate; sdk=95.0.0; variables=redacted

Expected handoff:

text
class=graphql-application-error; retry=no; regression=payload-error-check
