Linear

Direct Linear GraphQL API access via Bun CLI. Zero external dependencies.

Two script variants:

Script Size Use Case
scripts/linear.ts ~120 lines Standard: setup + api, agent constructs queries using api.md
scripts/linear-issue.ts ~570 lines Issue-specific: wraps search/create/update/list/comment as named commands

Setup

Check if config.json exists in this directory:

  • Exists → use directly
  • Missing → ensure LINEAR_API_KEY env var is set (Linear Settings → API → Personal API Keys), then run:
bun <skill-dir>/scripts/linear.ts setup
# or (full version)
bun <skill-dir>/scripts/linear-issue.ts setup

Config structure:

{ "apiKey": "$LINEAR_API_KEY", "teamKey": "YOUR_TEAM_KEY" }
  • apiKey: API key or env var reference ($LINEAR_API_KEY)
  • teamKey: Linear team key (e.g. WOR)
