SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @std/path, linear-cli, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually navigating the Linear web UI to manage issues, projects, and team workflows is slow and disruptive for developers who prefer working in the terminal. This Skill removes that friction by letting you control every aspect of your Linear workspace directly from the command line.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Linear Resource Control: Create, update, view, and delete issues, projects, initiatives, labels, cycles, milestones, and documents without leaving your terminal.
  • Development Workflow Integration: Automatically link issues to your current git or jj branch, generate pull requests pre-populated with issue context, and track commits tied to Linear tasks.
  • Bulk Operations & Safe Markdown Handling: Efficiently process multiple issues or labels at once using bulk flags or file/stdin input, and use file-based flags to properly format markdown content in issue descriptions and comments without shell escaping errors. For example, a development team can use this Skill to bulk archive completed sprint issues, create project status updates with rich markdown, and link related issues to high-level initiatives in seconds.

Quick Start

Use the linear-cli skill to create a new Linear issue titled Fix login bug with a description of the bug reproduction steps and assign it to yourself for the current sprint.
