SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually managing Linear issues, projects, and teams through the web UI is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when handling bulk updates, cross-team coordination, or frequent status changes. This Skill eliminates that friction by enabling direct, programmatic access to Linear's GraphQL API using simple curl commands, with no extra tools or dependencies required.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct GraphQL API Access: Interact with Linear's full API using only curl, no MCP servers, OAuth flows, or additional software needed.
  • Comprehensive Issue & Project Management: Create, update, search, and organize issues, projects, teams, labels, and comments programmatically.
  • Use Case: Engineering teams can use this Skill to bulk update issue statuses after sprint planning, assign tasks to team members, and track project progress without switching between the Linear UI and terminal.

Quick Start

Use the linear skill to list all issues assigned to you in the ENG team that are currently in the started state.
