High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Linear issue from the command line?

Run `linear-cli i create "Title" -t TEAM` to create an issue in a given team. Add flags like `-p 1` for priority, `-a me` to assign yourself, `-l bug` for labels, and `--due +3d` for due dates.

How do I set priority and due dates on Linear issues via CLI?

Use `-p` with values 1 (Urgent), 2 (High), 3 (Normal), or 4 (Low) for priority. Due dates accept natural values like `today`, `tomorrow`, `+3d`, `+2w`, `monday`, `eow`, or `eom`.

Is the linear-create skill still maintained?

No, linear-create is deprecated as of 2026-06-20 and superseded by the canonical `linear` skill. Its content was merged into `.agents/skills/linear/`, and this file is kept temporarily only for review.

How can an agent get just the new Linear issue ID?

Pass the `--id-only` flag to `linear-cli i create` so the command returns only the created issue's ID. Use `--dry-run` to preview the issue without creating it and `--quiet` to suppress output.

Can I pipe a markdown description into a Linear issue?

Yes, pipe file content via stdin with `cat desc.md | linear-cli i create "Title" -t ENG -d -`. The `-d -` flag reads the issue description from standard input.
