What problem does it solve?

Manually managing Linear issues, projects, milestones, and linking pull requests to work items is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for engineering teams running sprint-based workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Full Issue Lifecycle Management: Create, list, retrieve, update, comment on, and close Linear issues using consistent operation names shared across issue tracker backends.
• Project (Board) Administration: Create Linear projects as boards, organize issues by phase via milestones, set priority and assignees, and query board status grouped by work phase.
• Automated PR Linking: Close Linear issues automatically when corresponding GitHub PRs merge, using Linear's native magic words without extra tooling.
• Use Case: An engineering team using Linear for sprint tracking can use this skill to file bug reports, organize work by phase and priority, and automatically close issues when their fixes are merged, all without manual updates to the issue tracker.
