What is Linear?
The Linear skill for Openclaw Skills provides a comprehensive command-line interface to interact with your Linear workspace efficiently. It allows developers to handle the entire lifecycle of an issue—from creation and assignment to progress tracking and completion—without ever leaving the terminal. By bridging the gap between project management and the local coding environment, this skill significantly enhances developer velocity.
Built to handle complex workflows, it offers deep integration with version control systems like git and jj. Whether you are managing team milestones, updating project statuses, or querying the Linear GraphQL API for custom data, this Openclaw Skills integration ensures your project management stays as fast as your code.
Linear Use Cases
- Creating and updating issues instantly during active development sessions.
- Automating project status updates and milestone tracking from the CLI.
- Synchronizing local git branches with Linear issue identifiers automatically.
- Querying the Linear GraphQL API for custom data exports or advanced automation.
- Managing team documentation and project specifications directly from local markdown files.
How Linear Works
- Authenticate with your Linear workspace using a generated API key or the interactive login command.
- Configure project-specific settings via environment variables or a .linear.toml file to set your default team and workspace.
- Execute high-level CLI commands to fetch, create, or modify issues, projects, and labels.
- Utilize the built-in VCS integration to automatically create and switch to branches linked to specific issue IDs.
- Access the raw GraphQL API fallback for complex queries and filters that require direct database interaction.

Linear Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages data through a combination of local configuration files and remote API objects. Below is how the data is organized:

|---|---|---|
| .linear.toml | Local File | Stores Team ID, Workspace slug, and VCS preferences (git/jj). |
| GraphQL Schema | Remote API | Defines the structure for Issues, Projects, Teams, and Documents. |
| Environment Vars | Shell Env | Overrides configuration for Team IDs and Issue sorting (LINEAR_TEAM_ID, etc). |
| Metadata | Openclaw | Tracks installation requirements and OS compatibility (Darwin, Linux, Win32). |
Linear Advanced Features
- Deep Git and Jujutsu (jj) integration for automated branch management linked to issues.
- Raw GraphQL API access with support for variables and JSON-based filtering for power users.
- Interactive issue creation and 'start' workflows that automate the transition from task to code.
- Document management system that allows creating Linear docs directly from local markdown files.
- Multi-level configuration support allowing for global, repository, and directory-specific settings.
