What it does

Linear is an agent skill from sushaantu/boxento. Use Symphony's lineargraphql client tool for raw Linear GraphQL operations such as comment editing and status updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. It works with GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Open-source customizable start page. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve GraphQL

Example prompts

  • “/linear”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3209676. 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 (its code samples are graphql and json).

    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 loads about 447 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~447

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 GraphQL

Use this skill for raw Linear GraphQL work during Symphony app-server sessions.

Primary tool

Use the linear_graphql client tool exposed by Symphony's app-server session. It reuses Symphony's configured Linear auth for the session.

Tool input:

json
{
  "query": "query or mutation document",
  "variables": {
    "optional": "graphql variables object"
  }
}

Operating rules

  • Send one GraphQL operation per tool call.
  • Treat a top-level errors array as a failed GraphQL operation even if the tool call itself completed.
  • Keep queries and mutations narrowly scoped.

Common workflows

Query an issue by key
graphql
query IssueByKey($key: String!) {
  issue(id: $key) {
    id
    identifier
    title
    url
    description
    branchName
    state {
      id
      name
      type
    }
    project {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}
Query a team's workflow states
graphql
query IssueTeamStates($id: String!) {
  issue(id: $id) {
    id
    team {
      id
      key
      name
      states {
        nodes {
          id
          name
          type
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Update an issue state
graphql
mutation MoveIssue($id: String!, $stateId: String!) {
  issueUpdate(id: $id, input: { stateId: $stateId }) {
    success
    issue {
      id
      identifier
      state {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}
Update an existing comment
graphql
mutation UpdateComment($id: String!, $body: String!) {
  commentUpdate(id: $id, input: { body: $body }) {
    success
    comment {
      id
      body
    }
  }
}
