What this skill does
Linear Overview This skill provides a structured workflow for managing issues, projects & team workflows in Linear. It ensures consistent integration with the Linear MCP server, which offers natural-language project management for issues, projects, documentation, and team collaboration. Prerequisites Linear MCP server must be connected and accessible via OAuth Confirm access to the relevant Linear workspace, teams, and projects Required Workflow Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps. Step 0: Set up Linear MCP (if not already configured) If any MCP call fails because Linear MCP is not connected, pause and set it up: 1. Add the Linear MCP: codex mcp add linear --url https://mcp.linear.app/mcp 2. Enable remote MCP client: Set [features] rmcpclient = true in config.toml or run codex --enable rmcpclient 3. Log in with OAuth: codex mcp login linear After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1. Windows/WSL note: If you see connection errors on Windows, try configuring the Linear MCP to run via WSL: Step 1 Clarify the user's goal and scope (e.g., issue triage, sprint planning, documentation audit, workload balance). Confirm team/project, priority, labels, cycle, and due dates as needed. Step 2 Select the appropriate workflow (see Practical Workflows below) and identify the Linear MCP tools you will need. Confirm required identifiers (issue ID, project ID, team key) before calling tools. Step 3 Execute Linear MCP tool calls in logical batches: Read first (list/get/search) to build context. Create or update next (issues, projects, labels, comments) with all required fields. For bulk operations, explain the grouping logic before applying changes. Step 4 Summarize results, call out remaining gaps or blockers, and propose next actions (additional issues, label changes, assignments, or follow-up comments). …
