What it does

Linear Work Rhythm is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Answer "what should I do today" for a Langfuse maintainer, from the tracker rather than from memory: which projects you lead, which owe an update before the Monday engineering weekly, what shipped but is not finished, what waits on your decision, and what colleagues are working on that overlaps. Use on "what should I do today", "what's on my plate", "what should I work on next", "prep my Monday update", "what did I say last week", "who else is working on this", "who should review this", and whenever someone hands…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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, covering LLM observability and Pull requests. It works with Langfuse, Slack and Linear. 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

  • Tasks that involve LLM observability
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “what should I do today”
  • “s on my plate”
  • “what should I work on next”
  • “/linear-work-rhythm”

Requirements

  • A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY
  • A credential in LINEAR_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Updates the engineering weekly will read
  2. Shipped but not finished
  3. What the rest of the team is doing
  4. Waiting on your decision
  5. Your open bugs
  6. Lifecycle compliance, but only where it changes what you do

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:

    • 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
    • LINEAR_TOKEN
    • LINEAR_API_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Linear Work Rhythm loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 160 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,035 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~160
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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 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 2,035 words (~3,414 tokens).

“Answer from the tracker, never from recall. Ownership, health and dates change daily, and a plausible answer assembled from memory is worse than no answer because nobody can tell it is stale.”
