VerifiedClaude Code skill for efficient Linear project and issue workflows.
What is wrsmith108/linear-claude-skill?
The linear-claude-skill package integrates Linear's issue tracking into Claude Code by providing a set of scripts and patterns for common operations. It handles everything from creating parent-child relationships to syncing code changes and uploading images, using a mix of MCP tools, TypeScript automation, and direct GraphQL calls.
Setup includes configuration validation, optional Rust CLI acceleration, and esbuild compilation for quicker starts. The system emphasizes discovery steps before creating new items and offers label taxonomies to improve routing and organization across teams.
It targets developers and teams already using Claude Code who need reliable Linear automation without leaving their editor or terminal environment.
