openai/linear

linear is an agent skill from OpenAI's curated skills collection that connects an assistant to Linear through MCP, so it can read, create and update issues, projects and team workflows in natural language. It supports sprint planning, bug triage, workload balancing and release planning through conversational tool calls. Instead of switching between the editor and Linear to update dozens of issues, you can batch-create, label, assign and comment on issues in one session. Typical uses include triaging critical bugs by priority and moving the top items to In Progress, planning a sprint by pulling open issues and grouping them into a new cycle, auditing documentation gaps and opening labeled issues with specific fix notes, balancing team workload by listing issues per assignee and moving high-load items, and setting up a release project with milestones and an issue for each phase. It requires OAuth login to your Linear workspace before it can act, so sign in with an account that has the permissions you want the assistant to use. It suits engineering managers, product owners and developers who manage work in Linear and want to do the routine changes in bulk. Because the skill writes to a shared tracker, review batch changes, especially assignments and status moves, before they affect the rest of the team. The skill is listed on officialskills.sh and installs from the openai/skills repository. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/openai/skills --skill linear.…
