- Picking up a Linear issue to plan or implement it
- SKILL.md covers Workflow, Creating Issues, Language and Creating Sub-issue Trees, plus 1 more section

What it does
The skill governs how an agent works with Linear. It starts by discovering the available Linear tools, including deferred ones, and picking them by capability rather than by a fixed name, reporting a missing capability only after discovery. The workflow retrieves the issue, reads any images because screenshots often carry key context, checks for sub-issues, marks the issue In Progress when planning or implementing so teammates know it is owned, and follows a per-issue completion routine before moving to the next issue.
New issues get a claude code label so the team can audit AI-generated issues, and they are assigned to the authenticated user unless you say otherwise. Issue text follows the language of the conversation, Chinese or English, with technical terms, paths and code left in their original form, including when titles are edited. A further section covers creating trees of sub-issues.
When your agent uses it
- Picking up a Linear issue to plan or implement it
- Creating issues or sub-issue trees from a discussion
- Posting a completion comment and updating an issue's status
Example prompts
- “Start work on the Linear issue I just linked. Read it and its screenshots and check for sub-issues.”
- “Create a parent issue and three sub-issues for the file upload rework.”
- “Mark the issue done and add a completion comment linking the pull request.”
Requirements
- A Linear connection or MCP tools that the agent can discover
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Prefix titles with an ordering index
- Nest sub-issues by logical parent-child, not flat under the root
- Sub-issue creation order is dictated by blockedBy
- Respect dependency order
- Keep each sub-issue description self-contained
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1863542. 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:
claudebun
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 Issue Workflow loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 819 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 819 words (~1,518 tokens).
“Before using Linear workflows, discover the available Linear tools, including deferred tools, and inspect their current schemas. Select tools by capability (issue lookup, images, sub-issues, create/update, comments), not a fixed MCP prefix or historical tool name. Report a missing capability…”
