Core Features & Use Cases

  • Query and view the Linear work queue across agents to prioritize work.
  • Claim tasks, update status, and reflect progress on the team board.
  • See sprint progress and board layout to coordinate multiple agents.
  • Use Case: a team lead assigns tasks to Claude, Codex, and Gemini and tracks completion in near real-time.

Quick Start

Run linear setup to initialize your local Linear configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions about linear

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate Linear tasks across multiple AI agents?

Coordinating Linear tasks across AI agents requires a CLI tool to query queues, assign work, and update sprint progress on a shared board. This Skill automates that workflow, allowing team leads to dispatch tasks to agents like Claude or Gemini and track completion in near real-time.

Can I use a CLI to query the Linear work queue and claim tasks for AI agents?

Yes, you can use a CLI to query the Linear work queue and claim tasks. This Skill provides shell commands to initialize your configuration, pull pending work, assign items to specific AI agents, and reflect status changes directly on the shared board.

What is the best way to track sprint progress for AI teams using Linear?

The best way to track sprint progress for AI teams using Linear is through an automated CLI workflow. This Skill queries the board layout and task statuses, ensuring agents and team leads can monitor sprint completion and coordinate multi-agent task updates without manual checks.

Does this Linear CLI workflow require any special setup for multi-agent task management?

Setting up this Linear CLI workflow for multi-agent task management requires running a simple setup command to initialize your local configuration. Once initialized, the lightweight shell workflow allows agents to query queues, claim tasks, and update progress without additional dependencies.

How do I assign a Linear task to a specific AI agent like Claude or Codex?

To assign a Linear task to a specific AI agent like Claude or Codex, a team lead uses the CLI to claim the task from the shared work queue on behalf of the agent. The agent then processes the task and updates the sprint status directly through the shell workflow.

Are there limitations to using a CLI for Linear task management with AI agents?

Using a CLI for Linear task management with AI agents is limited to shell-driven operations like querying queues, claiming tasks, and updating sprint progress. It does not provide a graphical interface, relying entirely on lightweight shell commands to coordinate the shared board.
