Linear

Connects Claude to your Linear workspace so you can read, create, and update issues without leaving your terminal. Works through the Linear MCP server with OAuth authentication. The skill enforces a proper workflow: clarify what you're doing, pick the right tools, batch your API calls intelligently, then summarize what changed. Includes templates for common patterns like sprint planning, bug triage, and workload balancing across team members. The structured approach prevents the usual chaos of ad hoc issue updates and actually respects Linear's rate limits. If you spend half your day context switching between your editor and Linear's web UI, this will feel like a genuine productivity win.

Overview

This skill provides a structured workflow for managing issues, projects & team workflows in Linear. It ensures consistent integration with the Linear MCP server, which offers natural-language project management for issues, projects, documentation, and team collaboration.

Prerequisites

Linear MCP server must be connected and accessible via OAuth
Confirm access to the relevant Linear workspace, teams, and projects

Required Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.

Step 0: Set up Linear MCP (if not already configured)

If any MCP call fails because Linear MCP is not connected, pause and set it up:

Add the Linear MCP:
- codex mcp add linear --url https://mcp.linear.app/mcp
Enable remote MCP client:
- Set [features] rmcp_client = true in config.toml or run codex --enable rmcp_client
Log in with OAuth:
- codex mcp login linear

After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1.
