What it does

Linear Core Workflow B is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Coordinate Linear projects, cycles, initiatives, milestones, and issue membership without assuming a workspace taxonomy. Use when implementing portfolio or planning automation. Trigger with "sync Linear project", "manage Linear cycles", or "coordinate Linear initiatives".

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 Product & Project Management, covering Project management. 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

  • Implementing portfolio
  • Planning automation
  • With sync Linear project
  • Manage Linear cycles

Example prompts

  • “sync Linear project”
  • “manage Linear cycles”
  • “coordinate Linear initiatives”
  • “/linear-core-workflow-b”

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. Discover visible teams, project statuses, cycles, initiatives, milestones, and archived-state requirements.
  2. Define the source of truth and stable matching keys for every entity; names alone are not sufficient for unattended writes.
  3. Build a read-only diff of requested membership, dates, status, and ownership changes.
  4. Validate cross-team visibility and reject any mapping that would expose a private team's issues.
  5. Apply approved mutations in dependency order and stop on the first GraphQL or payload failure.
  6. Re-query every changed entity and produce a reconciliation report with compensating actions.

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 Core Workflow B loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 483 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
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 Project and Cycle Coordination

Overview

Map planning intent onto the workspace's actual project, cycle, initiative, and team model before making relationship changes.

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

  • Issues belong to one team, while projects can belong to one or more teams; access must be evaluated at both levels.
  • List operations are Relay-style connections and must be paginated rather than assuming nodes is complete.
  • Archived resources are hidden by default and require includeArchived: true when reconciliation needs them.

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. Discover visible teams, project statuses, cycles, initiatives, milestones, and archived-state requirements.
  2. Define the source of truth and stable matching keys for every entity; names alone are not sufficient for unattended writes.
  3. Build a read-only diff of requested membership, dates, status, and ownership changes.
  4. Validate cross-team visibility and reject any mapping that would expose a private team's issues.
  5. Apply approved mutations in dependency order and stop on the first GraphQL or payload failure.
  6. Re-query every changed entity and produce a reconciliation report with compensating actions.

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
Ambiguous name matchRequire a stable ID or owner-confirmed mapping.
Archived entity missingRepeat the read with includeArchived: true before creating a replacement.
Cross-team access gapStop; do not infer visibility from project membership.
Partial batchRecord successful IDs, halt remaining writes, and reconcile before retrying.

Examples

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

Input:

text
initiative=Q4; project=Billing; teams=ENG,PLAT; mode=dry-run

Expected handoff:

text
mapping=reviewed; visibility=pass; mutations=0; approval=pending
