What is Linear?
The Linear skill for Openclaw Skills provides a high-performance interface for interacting with the Linear project management platform directly from your AI agent environment. It enables developers to query issues, update task statuses, and maintain team synchronization without switching contexts. By integrating this tool into your Openclaw Skills library, you can bridge the gap between your codebase and your project tracking software, ensuring every code change is mapped to a documented task.
Built on the Linear GraphQL API, this skill offers a robust set of commands for issue triage, standup reporting, and team management. It emphasizes efficiency by caching team identifiers and providing a standardized approach to Git workflows, making it an essential component for teams that value speed and organizational clarity.
Linear Use Cases
- Generating daily standup summaries that highlight personal todos and team blockers.
- Creating new issues and feature requests directly from development chat sessions.
- Conducting rapid triage of urgent production issues and high-priority bugs.
- Synchronizing development branches with Linear issue IDs for automated status tracking.
- Managing team-wide issue assignments and priority updates from the command line.
How Linear Works
- Connects to the Linear GraphQL API using the provided LINEAR_API_KEY for secure authentication.
- Discovers and caches team keys locally to speed up subsequent command execution and issue lookups.
- Executes bash scripts to translate high-level agent requests into specific API queries or mutations.
- Formats API responses into readable summaries for standups, issue details, or project status updates.
- Generates standardized Git branch names derived from Linear metadata to maintain consistent Openclaw Skills automation across repositories.
Linear Setup
To enable this skill, you must configure your environment with a valid Linear API key. Optional configuration for a default team is also supported.
export LINEAR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# Optional: Set a default team for quicker commands
export LINEAR_DEFAULT_TEAM="TEAM"
Run the following command to discover and cache your team keys:
./scripts/linear.sh teams
Linear Data Schema & Taxonomy

| Issue | Task-specific data | ID (e.g., TEAM-123), Title, Status, Priority, Assignee |
| Team | Organizational groups | Team Key, Team ID, Member list |
| Project | Project-level tracking | Name, Progress percentage, Current status |
| Git Metadata | Workflow integration | Branch name patterns (e.g., dev/team-123-feature) |
Linear Advanced Features
- Integrated Git worktree support to keep the main branch clean while working on multiple Linear issues.
- Automated standup generation that synthesizes todos, blocked items, and recently completed tasks.
- Branch name generation logic that enables Linear's native GitHub automation for automatic PR tracking.
- High-priority triage commands to filter and surface production-critical issues across all teams.
- Support for Openclaw Skills command chaining to automate the creation of worktrees directly from issue IDs.
