At a glance

Use Linear as the org's memory: reconstruct a feature's history before touching it, and leave the reasoning behind finished work in the ticket description so the next agent inherits it.

  • Works in 2 steps: Before you touch a feature, reconstruct… → When you wrap up, propose the handover…
  • Starting work on an existing feature
  • SKILL.md covers Before you touch a feature:…, When you wrap up: ask, then…, The labels, and the one note… and No Linear access
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls bash, git and gh; needs LINEAR_API_KEY

What it does

Linear Context Handover is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Use Linear as the org's memory: reconstruct a feature's history before touching it, and leave the reasoning behind finished work in the ticket description so the next agent inherits it. Use when starting work on an existing feature, when splitting a large change, and always when wrapping up — "what happened to this screen before", "write the handover", "why is this code like this".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/handover-template.md` and `scripts/lf-context.sh`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. 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

  • Starting work on an existing feature
  • Splitting a large change
  • Always when wrapping up — what happened to this screen before
  • Write the handover

Example prompts

  • “s memory: reconstruct a feature”
  • “what happened to this screen before”
  • “write the handover”
  • “/linear-context-handover”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before you touch a feature, reconstruct its history. Most "new" work on an
  2. When you wrap up, propose the handover for the ticket's description.

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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

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

Context cost

Linear Context Handover loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 968 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 968 words (~1,710 tokens).

“Linear is the org's long-term memory. Agent sessions are not — they end, and everything they worked out ends with them. This skill is how reasoning survives the session that produced it.”
