What it does

Linear Lanes Bridge is an agent skill from lanes-sh/app. Use when bridging Linear and Lanes — importing Linear issues into Lanes for local Claude Code execution, batch-spawning sessions per Linear ticket, decomposing one Linear issue into multiple Lanes sub-issues with dependencies, or posting session results (PR links, comments, status updates) back to Linear. Triggers on phrases like "import from Linear", "bring this Linear ticket into Lanes", "run the sprint locally", "push results back to Linear", or any mention of both Linear and Lanes in the same request. Uses…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Linear and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Run many CLI (Coding) Agents in parallel lanes: issues, worktrees, sessions, and loops on one board. The agentic development environment.

When your agent uses it

  • Bridging Linear and Lanes — importing Linear issues into Lanes for local Claude Code execution
  • Batch-spawning sessions per Linear ticket
  • Decomposing one Linear issue into multiple Lanes sub-issues with dependencies
  • Posting session results (PR links

Example prompts

  • “import from Linear”
  • “bring this Linear ticket into Lanes”
  • “run the sprint locally”
  • “/linear-lanes-bridge”

Requirements

  • A credential in EXTERNAL_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08a67bc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 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:

    • EXTERNAL_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linear Lanes Bridge loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 825 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~168
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 825 words (~2,370 tokens).

“Use this skill to move work between Linear (the team's source of truth) and Lanes (the local agent execution board). Typical flows: pull a ticket or a whole sprint into Lanes, run sessions on each, then push the outcome (comments…”
