What it does

Linear Agent Writes is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. The org policy for what an agent may write to Linear, and how it must be marked. Read this before creating a ticket, editing a description, or commenting on a ticket as an agent — "file this in Linear", "comment on the ticket", "create a subticket", "write the handover". Default those writes to a short human description; expand with research only when asked. Also covers the required Linear connection and what to do when there isn't one.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. It works with Langfuse. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

When your agent uses it

  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project

Example prompts

  • “file this in Linear”
  • “comment on the ticket”
  • “create a subticket”
  • “/linear-agent-writes”

Requirements

  • A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY
  • A credential in LINEAR_TOKEN

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Comment — propose, then post (only when a human must be told something now)
  2. Edit a description — propose the block, then append
  3. Create a ticket — a subticket freely, a top-level one after a yes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8b58764. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LINEAR_API_KEY
    • LINEAR_TOKEN
    • LINEAR_API_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Linear Agent Writes loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,602 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,602 words (~2,623 tokens).

“Agents may write to Linear, but most writes are proposals first. Show the text you intend to land, get an explicit go-ahead, then write it yourself. Do not silently mutate a ticket the human is mid-session with.”
