What is Linear?
The Linear skill provides a high-performance bridge between your development environment and the Linear project management platform. By communicating directly with the official Linear GraphQL API, it enables users to perform complex workspace operations without the need for a browser or third-party proxy. As a powerful addition to the Openclaw Skills library, it ensures that project management remains an integrated part of the coding workflow rather than a context-switching distraction.
Linear Use Cases
- Creating and updating issues during the development process.
- Tracking current sprint progress by listing active cycles.
- Searching for specific bugs or feature requests within a team's backlog.
- Automating the retrieval of issue metadata to provide context for AI-driven tasks.
How Linear Works
- The skill authenticates with the Linear workspace using a secure, user-provided API key.
- Commands are executed via a Python script that constructs specific GraphQL queries and mutations.
- The script communicates directly with api.linear.app to fetch or modify data in real-time.
- Structured output is returned, allowing for further automation or immediate developer feedback.
Linear Setup
- Navigate to Linear → Settings → Account → Security & Access → API keys.
- Create a new API key for your account.
- Set the following environment variable in your terminal or configuration:
export LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_your_key_here
- Ensure python3 is available in your system path to execute the query scripts.
Linear Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill interacts with the standard Linear data model. Priority levels are mapped as follows:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | No Priority |
| 1 | Urgent |
| 2 | High |
| 3 | Normal |
| 4 | Low |
Core entities supported include Issues (with status and assignment), Teams, Projects, Cycles, and Workflow States.
Linear Advanced Features
- Global search functionality to find issues across the entire workspace.
- Workflow state management to track issues from 'Todo' to 'Done'.
- Granular filtering of issues by team, assignee, or status.
- Support for listing and managing organizational cycles (sprints).
