/install linear
Description
Query and manage Linear issues, projects, and team workflows.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want your agent to access Linear using your API key and potentially modify issues. Use the least-privileged Linear token available, ask the agent to confirm write actions before running them, and set LINEAR_TEAMS_CACHE to a private path if cached team metadata is sensitive.
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
Purpose & Capability
The purpose is to query and manage Linear issues, projects, and workflows, and the artifacts match that purpose, including read commands and issue-changing actions such as create, comment, status, assign, and priority.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are explicit wrapper-script commands; write operations are documented and user-invoked, though the skill does not add a separate confirmation step before changing Linear data.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains SKILL.md and a local bash wrapper script; there is no remote installer, package installation step, or hidden setup behavior.
Credentials
Requiring LINEAR_API_KEY is proportionate for Linear API access, but the key may allow broad workspace reads and writes depending on the token's Linear permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
The script caches Linear team metadata under /tmp by default using a key-derived filename; this is disclosed, limited to team IDs/keys/names, and configurable with LINEAR_TEAMS_CACHE.
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
