What it does

Linear Observability is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Instrument Linear API, SDK, webhook, queue, and reconciliation behavior with useful redacted signals. Use when defining service objectives, dashboards, alerts, or audit evidence. Trigger with "monitor Linear integration", "add Linear API metrics", or "observe Linear webhooks".

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 Webhooks, Observability and Accounting and bookkeeping. It works with Linear and 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

  • Defining service objectives
  • With monitor Linear integration
  • Add Linear API metrics
  • Observe Linear webhooks

Example prompts

  • “monitor Linear integration”
  • “add Linear API metrics”
  • “observe Linear webhooks”
  • “/linear-observability”

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. Define service objectives for API success, GraphQL application errors, webhook acknowledgement, queue lag, and reconciliation freshness.
  2. Emit operation names, status, normalized error code, latency, retry count, and rate/complexity budget—not raw queries or variables.
  3. Track webhook delivery ID hashes, event type, verification result, acknowledgement latency, dedupe outcome, and processing lag.
  4. Alert on sustained budget exhaustion, auth failures, signature failures, queue age, and reconciliation divergence.
  5. Keep audit-log ingestion separate, least-privileged, redacted, and aligned with the organization's retention policy.
  6. Test dashboards and alerts with synthetic failures and record owner, runbook, and quieting rules.

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 Observability loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
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
~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 Integration Observability

Overview

Measure contract health and business freshness without placing tokens, GraphQL variables, issue content, or user identities in telemetry.

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

  • Linear returns request-limit, endpoint-limit, complexity, remaining-budget, and reset headers that can drive safe capacity telemetry.
  • Webhook delivery headers include unique delivery ID, event type, signature, and timestamp; never log the signature as reusable evidence.
  • Enterprise audit logs retain 90 days and can be queried or streamed, but are owner-only and contain sensitive actor/IP metadata.

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. Define service objectives for API success, GraphQL application errors, webhook acknowledgement, queue lag, and reconciliation freshness.
  2. Emit operation names, status, normalized error code, latency, retry count, and rate/complexity budget—not raw queries or variables.
  3. Track webhook delivery ID hashes, event type, verification result, acknowledgement latency, dedupe outcome, and processing lag.
  4. Alert on sustained budget exhaustion, auth failures, signature failures, queue age, and reconciliation divergence.
  5. Keep audit-log ingestion separate, least-privileged, redacted, and aligned with the organization's retention policy.
  6. Test dashboards and alerts with synthetic failures and record owner, runbook, and quieting rules.

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
Sensitive telemetryDrop and scrub the field before expanding observability.
Header absentMark the metric unknown; do not fabricate a full budget.
Alert stormAggregate by workspace/operation and preserve the first actionable evidence.
Audit access deniedConfirm Enterprise owner authority; do not work around it with scraped UI data.

Examples

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

Input:

text
slo=webhook-ack<5s; dimensions=workspace-hash,operation; payload-logging=false

Expected handoff:

text
metrics=bounded; alerts=runbook-linked; content=excluded
