SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, mdutils, python-dotenv, and includes scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious manual work of checking Linear for your assigned tasks, prioritizing them, and keeping track of your daily workload. It automates the process of generating a clear, organized todo list, allowing you to immediately understand your priorities and focus on what matters most.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Sync: Fetches all open tasks assigned to the user from the Linear API.
  • Prioritized Todo List: Generates a markdown file grouped by project and priority (Urgent, High, Medium, Low), highlighting overdue items.
  • Rich Metadata: Includes task status, labels, story point estimates, due dates, and direct links to Linear issues.
  • Use Case: Start your day by asking Claude "What do I need to work on today?". The skill instantly provides a comprehensive, prioritized list of your tasks, so you know exactly where to focus without ever opening the Linear web app.

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:

pip install requests mdutils python-dotenv

2. Configure Linear API Key:

Create a .env file in your project root. (Get your API key from: https://linear.app/settings/api) Add: LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_your_key_here Ensure .env is in your .gitignore to protect your key.

3. Trigger the skill:

Ask Claude: "What do I need to work on today?" Alternatively, run the script directly from your project root: python .claude/skills/linear-todo-sync/scripts/sync_linear_tasks.py
