Manage Linear issues, projects, and workflows via CLI. This skill should be used when the user wants to create, list, update, or search Linear issues, manage projects or milestones, or interact with their Linear workspace. Triggers on "create a task", "add a Linear issue", "list my issues", "update GLE-123", "what's in my backlog", or any Linear-related request.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by glebis on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Linear AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/glebis/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/linear .claude/skills/linear
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Linear in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Linear on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Linear is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Linear CLI

Standalone CLI for the Linear issue tracker. Zero dependencies beyond Python 3.

Setup

On first use, authenticate via browser OAuth (no API keys needed):

bash
linear auth

Opens the browser for Linear authorization. Uses MCP Dynamic Client Registration + PKCE — credentials are stored at ~/.config/linear/ with 0600 permissions.

The CLI script is bundled at scripts/linear within this skill directory. Execute it directly or reference its absolute path.

Commands

Create an issue

bash
linear create "Issue title" \
  --team GLE \
  --state Todo \
  --assignee me \
  --due today \
  --priority high \
  --description "Markdown description" \
  --label "Bug"

Priority: urgent, high, medium, low, none (or 0-4).

Due date: YYYY-MM-DD, today, tomorrow.

List issues

bash
linear list --mine --status "In Progress"
linear list --team GLE --status Todo --limit 10
linear list --priority high --json

Show issue details

bash
linear show GLE-123
linear show GLE-123 --json

Update an issue

bash
linear update GLE-123 --state "In Progress"
linear update GLE-123 --priority urgent --due 2026-05-01
linear update GLE-123 --assignee me --title "New title"

Add a comment

bash
linear comment GLE-123 "This is done, merging now"

Workspace info

bash
linear teams
linear me
linear statuses --team GLE
linear labels --team GLE

Conventions

  • Use team key (e.g. GLE), not full team name, in --team flags.
  • Default assignee: me unless specified otherwise.
  • Default state for new issues: Todo.
  • Use --due today for same-day tasks.
  • The CLI outputs human-readable text by default; pass --json for machine-readable output.
  • When creating issues from conversation context, write a concise title and structured markdown description.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Linear AI skill do?

Manage Linear issues, projects, and workflows via CLI. This skill should be used when the user wants to create, list, update, or search Linear issues, manage projects or milestones, or interact with their Linear workspace. Triggers on "create a task", "add a Linear issue", "list my issues", "update GLE-123", "what's in my backlog", or any Linear-related request.

Why use Linear on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Linear is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Linear in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/glebis/claude-skills/tree/main/linear. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Linear?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Linear?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Linear with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Linear AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by glebis under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
