What it does
Linear Uploads is an agent skill from nesszer/linear-cli. Download attachments and images from Linear issues. Use when fetching screenshots, images, or file attachments from Linear comments or descriptions.
Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Linear. The repository describes itself as: A powerful CLI for Linear.app built with Rust. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Fetching screenshots
- File attachments from Linear comments
Example prompts
- “/linear-uploads”
Requirements
- A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e100db1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashRead
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 bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
uploads.linear.app
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 Uploads loads about 357 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 77 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

allowed-tools: Bash, Read
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.

URL pattern: https://uploads.linear.app/{org}/{upload}/{filename}
View Images (AI Agents)
Since Claude is multimodal, download then read:
# 1. Download to temp file
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." -f /tmp/screenshot.png
# 2. Use Read tool on the file
# Claude can view images directlyTips
