What This Skill Does

Uses the

linear

CLI to manage Linear issues — list, create, update, and transition issues, as well as start work and create linked PRs.

CLI Tool:

linear

List & View Issues

linear issue list                          # List your assigned issues
linear issue list --team ENG               # Filter by team
linear issue list --state "In Progress"    # Filter by state
linear issue view ENG-123                  # View issue details

Create Issues

linear issue create \
  --title "Fix login redirect bug" \
  --description "Users are redirected to /home instead of /dashboard" \
  --team ENG \
  --priority 2 \
  --label bug

Update & Transition Issues

linear issue update ENG-123 --state "In Progress"
linear issue update ENG-123 --assignee me
linear issue update ENG-123 --priority 1

Start Work

# Creates a git branch linked to the issue
linear issue start ENG-123

Create a PR

# Creates a PR linked to the Linear issue
linear pr create ENG-123

Usage Guidelines

Use
```
linear issue list
```
before creating issues to avoid duplicates.
When starting work,
```
linear issue start
```
handles branch creation and status update in one command.
Use issue identifiers (e.g.,
```
ENG-123
```
) consistently — they are case-insensitive.

Notes

Requires
```
linear auth
```
to be completed before use.
Priority levels: 1 = Urgent, 2 = High, 3 = Medium, 4 = Low
