What is Linear?
The Linear skill for Openclaw Skills provides a powerful interface for interacting with the Linear issue tracking platform directly from your development environment. It empowers developers and AI agents to create, update, and search for issues without context switching. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, teams can ensure their project management remains synchronized with their codebase in real-time.
This integration is designed to streamline the lifecycle of a task, from initial bug reporting to final resolution. Whether you are managing personal tasks or coordinating across a large organization, this skill provides the programmatic access needed to maintain high velocity within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
Linear Use Cases
- Automating the creation of bug reports when an AI agent identifies code defects.
- Moving issues to In Progress or Done status automatically based on git activity.
- Searching for existing tasks to provide context to an AI agent before starting a new feature.
- Adding automated comments to issues to document progress or reference specific pull requests within Openclaw Skills workflows.
How Linear Works
- The skill authenticates with the Linear API using a secure key stored in the local credentials directory.
- Users or agents interact with the
scripts/linear.shscript to trigger specific project management actions. - The script fetches metadata such as Team IDs, State IDs, and User IDs to ensure precise targeting of commands.
- Commands are processed and sent to Linear, with results returned either as human-readable text or raw JSON for further processing by Openclaw Skills.
Linear Setup
To get started with this skill, you must store your API key in the designated credentials file:
mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot/credentials
echo '{"apiKey": "your_api_key_here"}' > ~/.clawdbot/credentials/linear.json
Ensure that scripts/linear.sh is executable and accessible within your Openclaw Skills environment.
Linear Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages interaction data through a combination of local configuration and remote API responses. The primary data structures used by this Openclaw Skills integration include:
| Component | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | JSON | Stores the apiKey in ~/.clawdbot/credentials/linear.json |
| Command Output | String/JSON | Standard output for CLI use or raw JSON when using the --json flag |
| Issue Metadata | Object | Includes Title, Description, State, Priority, and Assignee details |
Linear Advanced Features
- Support for raw JSON output via the
--jsonflag for advanced scripting and multi-agent coordination. - Comprehensive workspace search to find relevant issues across all teams and projects.
- Granular state management allowing for precise control over custom workflow transitions.
- Deep integration with Openclaw Skills allowing agents to query team-specific metadata like user lists and workflow states.
