Query and manage Linear issues, projects, and team workflows.

  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Quick Commands, Common Workflows and Git Workflow (Linear ↔ GitHub…, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls git and gh; needs LINEAR_API_KEY and TEAM_KEY

What it does

Linear is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Query and manage Linear issues, projects, and team workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/linear.sh`).

It sits in Development. It works with Linear. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/linear”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY
  • A credential in TEAM_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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:

    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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
    • TEAM_KEY

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

Context cost

Linear loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 237 words (~1,167 tokens).

“Manage issues, check project status, and stay on top of your team's work.”
