What it does

Linear Bug Triage is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Use this skill after a bug or regression candidate has measured evidence to document them within linear.

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 (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Issue triage. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

  • Tasks that involve Issue triage

Example prompts

  • “/linear-bug-triage”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Search Linear for related open issues using exact error text, route/resource,
  2. Search recently closed or canceled issues if the error is recurring or the
  3. If a related issue exists, put a concise evidence comment in the findings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21df53e. 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 markdown).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Linear Bug Triage loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 675 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 675 words (~1,289 tokens).

“Use this skill after a bug or regression candidate has measured evidence. This skill owns Linear search, deduplication, evidence comments, and filing new issues once a human says yes; the calling skill owns deciding whether the signal is issue-worthy.”
