What it does

Linear Security Basics is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Harden Linear credentials, OAuth, team access, webhook verification, logging, and rotation. Use when threat-modeling an integration or correcting a security gap. Trigger with "secure Linear integration", "review Linear OAuth security", or "verify Linear webhooks".

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 Webhooks, OAuth and OpenID Connect and Threat modeling. 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

  • Threat-modeling an integration
  • Correcting a security gap
  • With secure Linear integration
  • Review Linear OAuth security

Example prompts

  • “secure Linear integration”
  • “review Linear OAuth security”
  • “verify Linear webhooks”
  • “/linear-security-basics”

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 tokens, client and signing secrets, redirect URLs, scopes, team access, caches, logs, exports, and third-party processors.
  2. Select the narrowest auth actor and scopes, validate OAuth state/PKCE, and store credentials only in an approved secret manager.
  3. Verify webhook raw-body HMAC before parsing or queuing; reject invalid signatures and stale/replayed deliveries.
  4. Redact authorization, cookies, queries, variables, issue content, emails, actor data, and signatures from telemetry.
  5. Test revocation, client-secret rotation, signing-secret rotation, compromised-token containment, and app disablement.
  6. Document residual risk, accountable owners, and an independently approved remediation rollout.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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 Security Basics 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 72 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
~72
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 Integration Security Baseline

Overview

Apply least privilege and fail-closed verification across every credential, workspace boundary, inbound event, and diagnostic path.

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

  • Authorization-code OAuth supports PKCE; applications must use exact registered redirect URLs and validate authorization state.
  • All OAuth apps moved to the refresh-token system on 2026-04-01; access and refresh tokens require secure server-side storage and revocation handling.
  • Webhook authenticity is HMAC-SHA256 over the exact raw body; compare safely and use timestamp/delivery ID for replay controls.
  • Client-secret rotation and webhook-signing-secret rotation are separate operations with different impacts.

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 tokens, client and signing secrets, redirect URLs, scopes, team access, caches, logs, exports, and third-party processors.
  2. Select the narrowest auth actor and scopes, validate OAuth state/PKCE, and store credentials only in an approved secret manager.
  3. Verify webhook raw-body HMAC before parsing or queuing; reject invalid signatures and stale/replayed deliveries.
  4. Redact authorization, cookies, queries, variables, issue content, emails, actor data, and signatures from telemetry.
  5. Test revocation, client-secret rotation, signing-secret rotation, compromised-token containment, and app disablement.
  6. Document residual risk, accountable owners, and an independently approved remediation rollout.

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
Token exposedRevoke or rotate the affected credential, scrub retained copies, and audit access.
Signature invalidReject before parsing business data and preserve only redacted delivery metadata.
OAuth state mismatchAbort the flow; do not exchange the code.
Scope too broadReduce scopes/team access and reauthorize through the approved change path.

Examples

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

Input:

text
auth=oauth-pkce; scopes=read,write; teams=approved-subset; raw-body=true

Expected handoff:

text
threat-model=updated; secrets=server-side; replay-control=delivery-id+timestamp
