What it does

Linear Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Install the current Linear TypeScript SDK and configure personal-key, OAuth, or app-actor authentication safely. Use when connecting a repository or correcting an auth setup. Trigger with "install Linear SDK", "configure Linear OAuth", or "set up Linear API auth".

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 OAuth and OpenID Connect and Authentication. It works with TypeScript 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

  • Connecting a repository
  • Correcting an auth setup
  • With install Linear SDK
  • Configure Linear OAuth

Example prompts

  • “install Linear SDK”
  • “configure Linear OAuth”
  • “set up Linear API auth”
  • “/linear-install-auth”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • 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. Inspect runtime, Node version, manifest, lockfile, existing client construction, and secret provider.
  2. Choose personal key for an owner-controlled integration, authorization-code OAuth for user-delegated access, or client credentials for…
  3. Pin a compatible SDK range and commit the resolved lockfile; do not silently take an unbounded latest version in CI.
  4. Inject credentials from the approved server-side secret manager and document the variable name without its value.
  5. Run a read-only viewer/team proof and check both transport status and GraphQL errors.
  6. Assign owners for scope review, app approval, rotation, revocation, and emergency disablement.

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 Install Auth loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
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 SDK Installation and Authentication

Overview

Choose authentication from the operating model, pin the SDK through the repository's lockfile, and prove access with a bounded read-only query.

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

  • The official package is @linear/sdk; npm reported 95.0.0 with Node.js >=18.x on 2026-09-11.
  • Personal keys use a raw Authorization value; OAuth tokens use the Bearer scheme. The SDK represents these as apiKey and accessToken.
  • OAuth is recommended for applications used by other people; scheduled automation should use the client-credentials grant when enabled.

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. Inspect runtime, Node version, manifest, lockfile, existing client construction, and secret provider.
  2. Choose personal key for an owner-controlled integration, authorization-code OAuth for user-delegated access, or client credentials for approved unattended automation.
  3. Pin a compatible SDK range and commit the resolved lockfile; do not silently take an unbounded latest version in CI.
  4. Inject credentials from the approved server-side secret manager and document the variable name without its value.
  5. Run a read-only viewer/team proof and check both transport status and GraphQL errors.
  6. Assign owners for scope review, app approval, rotation, revocation, and emergency disablement.

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
Node below 18Upgrade through the repository's runtime policy before installing the current SDK.
401Check token type, header form, injection, and revocation state without exposing it.
OAuth redirect mismatchUse an exactly registered callback; do not add a wildcard.
Secret committedRevoke or rotate it, remove retained copies, and audit access.

Examples

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

Input:

text
runtime=node20; auth=oauth; secret=approved-reference; probe=viewer

Expected handoff:

text
sdk=resolved-lockfile; auth=bearer; probe=read-only; secret=redacted
