Setup

On first use, authenticate via browser OAuth (no API keys needed):

linear auth

linear create "Issue title" \
  --team GLE \
  --state Todo \

Priority: urgent, high, medium, low, none (or 0-4).

Due date: YYYY-MM-DD, today, tomorrow.

linear list --mine --status "In Progress"
linear list --team GLE --status Todo --limit 10
linear list --priority high --json

Show issue details

linear show GLE-123
linear show GLE-123 --json

Update an issue

linear update GLE-123 --state "In Progress"
linear update GLE-123 --priority urgent --due 2026-05-01
linear update GLE-123 --assignee me --title "New title"

Conventions

Use team key (e.g. GLE), not full team name, in --team flags.
Default assignee: me unless specified otherwise.
Default state for new issues: Todo.
Use --due today for same-day tasks.
The CLI outputs human-readable text by default; pass --json for machine-readable output.
When creating issues from conversation context, write a concise title and structured markdown description.

Domain Identification Grouping

by christophacham

×1

Groups existing components into logical business domains to plan service-based architecture. Use when asking "which components belong together?", "group these into services", "organize by domain", "component-to-domain mapping", or planning service extraction from an existing codebase. Do NOT use for identifying new domains from scratch (use domain-analysis) or analyzing coupling (use coupling-analysis).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take glebis/linear from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
