SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill provides quick command-line access to Linear metrics such as cycle velocity, burndown, and project progress without manually navigating the Linear web interface. Note that it is deprecated and superseded by the canonical linear skill. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cycle Metrics: Retrieve velocity and burndown data for a specific cycle using linear-cli mt cycle CYCLE_ID. - Project Progress: Check overall project status with linear-cli mt project PROJECT_ID. - Team Velocity Trends: View velocity across multiple cycles, e.g., the last 5 cycles for a team. - Use Case: A product manager preparing a sprint review runs the velocity command with JSON output to pull the last 5 cycles of team performance into a report. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the velocity for the ENG team over the last 5 cycles using the linear-cli metrics commands.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check team velocity in Linear from the command line?

Run `linear-cli mt velocity TEAM_KEY` to see team velocity over time. Add the `--cycles N` flag, such as `--cycles 5`, to limit results to the last N cycles.

How to get cycle burndown data from Linear CLI?

Use `linear-cli mt cycle CYCLE_ID` to retrieve cycle metrics including velocity and burndown. Append `--output json` to get the results in JSON format for further processing.

Is the linear-metrics skill still maintained?

No, it is deprecated as of 2026-06-20 and superseded by the canonical `linear` skill. All content was merged into that skill, and this file is kept temporarily only for review.

Can I get Linear metrics output as JSON?

Yes, all metrics commands support the `--output json` flag. This works for cycle metrics, project progress, and velocity queries, making the output suitable for scripting and reporting pipelines.

What should I use instead of the deprecated linear-metrics skill?

Use the canonical `linear` skill located in the agents skills directory. It contains all the metrics content from this skill plus additional Linear workflow references.
