SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of opening Linear’s UI for routine work by letting you query, create, update, and organize issues, projects, teams, comments, labels, and documents directly from an AI-assisted workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue Management: Find, create, update, assign, prioritize, and move issues across workflow states using Linear’s GraphQL API.
  • Project and Team Operations: List teams, inspect workflow states, browse projects, and manage work across team-specific processes.
  • Document Retrieval: Fetch and search Linear documents for RFCs, specs, and notes when context lives outside individual issues.
  • Use Case: A product manager can ask for a status update on open engineering work, then immediately create a new issue, assign it, and move it to the correct state without leaving the conversation.

Quick Start

Ask me to connect to Linear and summarize my assigned issues, then create a new issue in the correct team and set its status and priority.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Linear issues without opening the UI?

You can manage Linear issues by executing GraphQL queries and mutations through API calls. This approach allows you to create, update, assign, and prioritize issues, as well as move them across workflow states directly from a command-line workflow.

Can I search and retrieve Linear documents for specs via the API?

Yes, you can fetch and search Linear documents using the GraphQL API. This allows you to retrieve RFCs, specs, and notes when context lives outside individual issues, returning the document content directly to your workflow.

Do I need a personal API key to update Linear projects via GraphQL?

Yes, updating Linear projects requires a Linear personal API key. You also need curl installed to make direct API calls, along with a Python stdlib helper for deterministic command-line access to execute the GraphQL mutations.

What's the best way to automate Linear triage and issue assignment?

Automating Linear triage involves using GraphQL mutations to find, assign, and change the status of issues. You can list teams, inspect workflow states, and move issues across states programmatically without manual UI interaction.

Does this Linear API workflow work for team-specific project operations?

Yes, the workflow supports team-specific project operations. You can list teams, inspect their individual workflow states, browse projects, and manage work across distinct team processes using targeted GraphQL queries.
