Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned finesssee/linear-cli at e100db11a3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, Linear Git, automates workflows based on the Linear project management system and integrates with Git repositories. It allows an AI agent to create branches linked to Linear issues, generate pull requests from those issues, and display commit information including Linear issue references. The tool leverages the linear-cli command-line interface to streamline common tasks within a linear Git workflow like GitLab Flow.

When to use it

  • When you need to quickly create a new branch associated with a specific Linear issue (e.g., "LIN-123").
  • To automatically generate a pull request from a Linear issue, simplifying the code review process.
  • For displaying commit history and ensuring commits are properly linked to Linear issues.
  • When you want to create a draft pull request for early feedback.

Key capabilities

  • Branch creation: Creates new Git branches associated with Linear issues (e.g., linear-cli g checkout LIN-123).
  • Pull Request generation: Generates GitHub pull requests directly from Linear issues (e.g., linear-cli g pr LIN-123).
  • Base branch specification: Allows specifying the base branch for pull request creation (e.g., linear-cli g pr LIN-123 --base main).
  • Context awareness: Retrieves information about the Linear issue associated with the current Git branch (linear-cli context).
  • Commit display: Shows commit history, including Linear issue references (e.g., linear-cli g commits).

Example prompts

  • "Create a branch for Linear issue LIN-123."
  • "Generate a pull request from Linear issue LIN-123 and make it a draft."
  • "Show me the commit history with Linear issue references."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill relies on the linear-cli command-line tool being properly configured and authenticated.
  • The base branch for pull requests can be explicitly specified using the --base flag.
  • Output can be formatted as JSON using the --output json flag for programmatic use.
