What it does

Inspect Linear SDK is an agent skill from tacticlaunch/mcp-linear. Inspect the Linear SDK and generated GraphQL types before adding or changing a Linear capability in mcp-linear. Use this when you need to confirm available entities, methods, enums, or input shapes.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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 and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server that enables AI assistants to interact with Linear project management system through natural language, allowing users to retrieve, create, and update issues, projects… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve GraphQL

Example prompts

  • “/inspect-linear-sdk”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Whether the capability already has an SDK method.
  2. The exact mutation or query variable shape.
  3. The entity class shape and relation getters.
  4. Which fields are nullable, clearable, enum-based, or paginated.
  5. Whether the generated SDK query looks stale for the current Linear schema.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cde0c4f. 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

Inspect Linear SDK loads about 288 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 128 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~288

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.

description
Inspect the Linear SDK and generated GraphQL types before adding or changing a Linear capability in mcp-linear. Use this when you need to confirm available entities, methods, enums, or input shapes.

Use this skill before implementing a new Linear capability.

Inspect these sources first

  • node_modules/@linear/sdk/dist/_generated_sdk.d.ts
  • node_modules/@linear/sdk/dist/_generated_documents.d.ts
  • existing related code in src/services/linear-service.ts

What to verify

  1. Whether the capability already has an SDK method.
  2. The exact mutation or query variable shape.
  3. The entity class shape and relation getters.
  4. Which fields are nullable, clearable, enum-based, or paginated.
  5. Whether the generated SDK query looks stale for the current Linear schema.

Decision rules

  • Prefer the SDK when it is correct and complete.
  • If the SDK is stale, use a direct GraphQL query only for the missing path and keep it as narrow as possible.
  • When you fall back to direct GraphQL, note the mismatch in code comments or the PR summary so future maintainers know why the fallback exists.
