Is the output optimized for AI processing?

Yes, the skill utilizes the Linearis CLI which provides JSON output, enabling Claude to precisely parse issue data and provide accurate status summaries.

Does it support smart issue ID detection?

Yes, it automatically recognizes Linear issue patterns such as TBD-123 or DEV-456, making it easy to query specific tickets by their shorthand identifiers.

How do I authenticate with Linear using this skill?

The skill looks for a LINEAR_API_KEY in your project's .env file or a LINEAR_API_TOKEN in your environment variables. Project-specific keys are prioritized to ensure you are working in the correct workspace.

Can I manage cycles and sprints with this skill?

Absolutely. You can list active cycles, view issues within a specific sprint, and move tasks between cycles using the built-in metadata commands.

Can I create sub-tasks or link parent tickets?

Yes, the skill supports the --parent-ticket flag during issue creation or updates, allowing you to maintain complex task hierarchies within Linear.
