SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Tracking dependencies between Linear issues manually is error-prone, making it hard to see which tasks block others or how sub-tasks roll up into parent initiatives. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relation Management: Add, list, and remove issue relations of type blocks, blocked-by, related, and duplicate via linear-cli. - Parent/Child Hierarchy: Set or remove parent issues to organize sub-tasks under larger initiatives. - Use Case: When planning a sprint, mark LIN-1 as blocking LIN-2 so the team knows LIN-2 cannot start until LIN-1 ships, then group sub-tasks under a parent epic. - Note: This skill is deprecated and superseded by the canonical linear skill; use that instead for new work. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to mark Linear issue LIN-1 as blocking LIN-2 and list all relations on LIN-1.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I mark a Linear issue as blocking another issue?▼

Run linear-cli rel add with the blocks relation type, for example linear-cli rel add LIN-1 -r blocks LIN-2, which records that LIN-1 blocks LIN-2. Use linear-cli rel list to verify the relation.

How to set a parent issue in Linear from the command line?▼

Use linear-cli rel parent followed by the child issue and the parent issue, such as linear-cli rel parent LIN-2 LIN-1, to set LIN-1 as the parent of LIN-2. Remove it with linear-cli rel unparent LIN-2.

What relation types does Linear support between issues?▼

The supported relation types are blocks, blocked-by, related, and duplicate. Each is added with linear-cli rel add using the -r flag followed by the relation type and target issue identifier.

Is the linear-relations skill still maintained?▼

No, it is deprecated as of 2026-06-20 and superseded by the canonical linear skill, which merged all of its content. It is kept temporarily for review and should not be extended.

Can I get Linear relation output as JSON?▼

Yes, pass the --output json flag to relation commands to receive structured JSON output instead of the default text format, which is useful for scripting and automation.
