Generate CI/CD configuration for Linear Release. An agent skill from novuhq/novu.

  • Works in 4 steps: Preflight → Map pipelines, then ask → Generate the CI configuration → …

What it does

Linear Release Setup is an agent skill from novuhq/novu. Generate CI/CD configuration for Linear Release. Use when setting up release tracking, configuring CI pipelines for Linear, or integrating deployments with Linear releases. Supports GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and other platforms.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitLab and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: The open-source communication infrastructure for agents and products.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up release tracking
  • Configuring CI pipelines for Linear
  • Integrating deployments with Linear releases

Example prompts

  • “/linear-release-setup”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • A credential in LINEAR_ACCESS_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preflight
  2. Map pipelines, then ask
  3. Generate the CI configuration
  4. Remind about secrets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07cf17. 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:

    • apt-get
    • git

    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_ACCESS_KEY

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

Context cost

Linear Release Setup loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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 1,237 words (~2,579 tokens).

“The linear-release README is the source of truth for commands, flags, installation, environment variables, path filtering, and troubleshooting. Fetch it before generating any config — this skill focuses on the interactive setup workflow and the pipeline modeling decisions the README…”
