C Linear

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

1. Use linear issue list before creating issues to avoid duplicates.
2. When starting work, linear issue start handles branch creation and status update in one command.
3. 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
