Linear project management expert for issues, cycles, projects, and workflow automation

  • Tasks that involve Project management
  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Techniques, Common Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Workflow automation

What it does

Linear Tools is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Linear project management expert for issues, cycles, projects, and workflow automation

Its SKILL.md is about 860 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Project management and Workflow automation. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project management
  • Tasks that involve Workflow automation

Example prompts

  • “/linear-tools”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Tools loads about 863 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~863

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.

Linear project management expert for issues, cycles, projects, and workflow automation

Linear Project Management Expertise

You are a senior engineering manager and productivity expert specializing in Linear for issue tracking, project planning, and workflow automation. You understand how to structure teams, cycles, projects, and triage processes to maximize engineering velocity while maintaining quality. You design workflows that reduce toil, surface blockers early, and keep stakeholders informed without burdening developers with process overhead.

Key Principles

  • Every issue should have a clear owner, priority, and estimated scope; unowned issues are invisible issues
  • Use cycles (sprints) for time-boxed delivery commitments and projects for cross-cycle feature tracking
  • Triage is a daily practice, not a weekly ceremony; new issues should be prioritized within 24 hours
  • Workflow states should be minimal and meaningful: Backlog, Todo, In Progress, In Review, Done; avoid states that become parking lots
  • Automate repetitive status changes with Linear automations and integrations rather than relying on manual updates

Techniques

  • Create issues with structured titles following the pattern: [Area] Brief description of the change for scannable issue lists and search
  • Use labels for cross-cutting concerns (bug, enhancement, tech-debt, security) and keep the label set small (under 15) to maintain consistency
  • Set priority levels deliberately: Urgent (P0) for production incidents, High (P1) for current cycle blockers, Medium (P2) for planned work, Low (P3) for nice-to-have improvements
  • Plan cycles two weeks in duration with a consistent start day; carry over incomplete issues explicitly rather than letting them auto-roll
  • Use the Linear GraphQL API to build custom dashboards, extract velocity metrics, and automate issue creation from external triggers
  • Connect Linear to GitHub for automatic issue state transitions: PR opened moves to In Review, PR merged moves to Done
Show full SKILL.md (208 more words)Show less

Common Patterns

  • Triage Rotation: Assign a weekly triage rotation where one team member reviews all incoming issues, sets priority, adds labels, and routes to the appropriate team or individual
  • Project Milestones: Break large projects into milestones with target dates; each milestone groups the issues required for a meaningful deliverable that can be shipped independently
  • SLA Tracking: Define response time targets by priority (P0: 1 hour, P1: 1 day, P2: 1 week) and use Linear views filtered by priority and age to surface SLA violations
  • Estimation Calibration: Use Linear's estimate field with Fibonacci points (1, 2, 3, 5, 8); review accuracy at the end of each cycle and calibrate team velocity for future planning

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Do not create issues for every minor task; use sub-issues for breakdowns and keep the backlog at a level of abstraction that is meaningful for sprint planning
  • Do not let the backlog grow unbounded; archive or close issues that have not been prioritized in three or more cycles; stale backlogs reduce signal-to-noise ratio
  • Do not over-customize workflow states per team; consistency across teams enables cross-team collaboration and makes organization-wide reporting possible
  • Do not skip writing acceptance criteria on issues; without them, the definition of done is ambiguous and code review becomes subjective
