Use Linear safely with AI

Shows how an AI assistant should confirm your Linear workspace and access level, pick the right lookup, keep results small, and ask before creating or changing anything.

Use it when

You are connecting Linear to an AI assistant for the first time
You are unsure whether the assistant can change issues or only read them
You want to avoid changes landing in the wrong team or workspace

Tools it uses

list_teams
get_user
list_users
list_my_issues
list_issues
get_issue_status
list_issue_statuses
list_issue_labels
search_documentation
list_comments
list_documents
get_document
create_issue
update_issue
create_comment
create_project
update_project

Example

Check which Linear team I can see, then find my open issues in ENG and tell me what's pending. Don't change anything yet.

Your account can see 3 teams: ENG, Design and Ops. In ENG I read the first 50 of your open issues: 12 are In Progress, 9 are In Review and 4 are unassigned. Nothing has been changed. Two issues look like they should move to Done once you confirm, so tell me which to update.

You need a cycle update for a weekly leadership sync
You want to see blocked and unassigned work before the cycle ends

How is the current Platform cycle going? I need something I can send to my manager.

Two in-progress items have no assignee. Stakeholder line: the cycle is on track for 18 of 26 items, with one external dependency and two unowned tasks being resolved today.

I read 24 issues in Mobile Triage. I propose 9 ready to route, 6 duplicates of existing issues, 5 needing reproduction steps, and 4 stale reports for the owner to confirm. The table shows each proposed assignee and priority. Nothing has changed yet. Tell me which rows to apply.

Catch up on your Linear work with AI

Builds a prioritised view of the issues assigned to you, flagging what is overdue, stalled or waiting on others, with a concrete next step for each. It only reads your queue and asks before changing anything.

Use it when

You start the day and want to know what needs you first
You are returning from leave and need to pick up your open work
You want a personal status before a standup without opening every ticket

Tools it uses

list_users
get_user
list_my_issues
get_issue
list_comments

create_comment

Example

What should I focus on in Linear today? Check my assigned issues and tell me what's overdue or waiting on me.

You have 14 open issues. Three need you now: ENG-212 has a question from Priya that has gone unanswered for two days, ENG-198 is overdue by four days, and ENG-204 is blocking the release. Two are stalled for over a week, and five have no due date.

Turn a planning document into a Linear project

Reads a roadmap or brief, drafts a Linear project with milestones and issues, and shows the full plan for review. It creates nothing until you approve.

Use it when

You have a PRD or roadmap and need it turned into a Linear project
You want epics, milestones and a backlog drafted from a spec
You are starting a new initiative and want to check for existing projects first

Tools it uses

list_projects
search_documentation
list_teams
get_team
list_issue_labels
list_issue_statuses
list_users
list_cycles
create_project
create_issue
update_project

Example

Turn this Q3 onboarding roadmap doc into a Linear project with milestones and issues. Show me the draft before creating anything.

I checked your projects and found no existing onboarding project. The draft has one project for the Growth team, two milestones (Beta and GA), and 14 issues. Three gaps: no owner for the email migration, no target date for GA, and the rollback approach is undefined. Nothing has been created yet; reply yes to create it.

How Linear skills work

Connect Linear
The Linear MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“How is the current Platform cycle going? I need something I can send to my manager.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Linear skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Linear. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Linear MCP server connected there.

Linear skills FAQ

What is a Linear agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Linear skill describes one job, which Linear tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Linear skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Linear.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Linear; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Linear MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Linear MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Linear MCP setup guide covers every client.
