Description
Query and manage Linear issues, projects, and team workflows.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable giving this helper a Linear API key that can read and change your workspace. Prefer a least-privilege token, avoid using it with untrusted issue titles, comments, project names, or usernames, and consider fixing the script to use GraphQL variables, safe JSON encoding, a private cache directory, and explicit confirmation for write actions before relying on it in an agent workflow.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: linear
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill bundle for Linear is benign. It provides a shell script (`scripts/linear.sh`) to interact with the official Linear GraphQL API (`https://api.linear.app/graphql`) using a `LINEAR_API_KEY` provided via an environment variable. All network calls are directed to this legitimate API endpoint, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent in `SKILL.md` that would lead to unauthorized actions or access to unrelated sensitive data. The script uses a temporary cache in `/tmp` and standard shell utilities like `curl` and `jq`.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Access to the Linear API is proportionate for this skill, but the script exposes the API key in curl process arguments, constructs GraphQL/JSON unsafely from command arguments, and uses a predictable shared /tmp cache path.
Install Mechanism
The artifact consists of a markdown skill file and a local bash helper script requiring LINEAR_API_KEY; command use is visible in the docs, though the metadata only declares the environment variable requirement.
Instruction Scope
The documentation shows action commands and Git workflow commands, including branch creation and push examples, but it does not clearly separate read-only from mutating operations or require confirmation before external project data or remote git state changes.
Persistence & Privilege
No background service, hook, or cross-session agent persistence was found; the only persistence is a local teams cache file, whose shared /tmp placement creates avoidable local file and metadata exposure risk.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to query and manage Linear, and the read/write Linear commands fit that purpose, but the implementation sends live GraphQL mutations for create, comment, status, priority, and assign operations using manually interpolated arguments.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install linear - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/linear - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
