Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill automates the setup of Linear release workflows. It configures your Linear workspace with predefined release stages and associated statuses, streamlining your software delivery process. The skill also handles creating release branches and linking them to relevant issues within Linear.
When to use it
- You're starting a new project and want a standardized release workflow in Linear from the outset.
- Your existing Linear setup is disorganized or lacks clear release stages.
- You need to automate branch creation for releases, ensuring consistency across your team.
- You want to link release branches directly to issues tracked within Linear.
Key capabilities
- Configures release stages in Linear.
- Defines associated statuses for each release stage.
- Creates release branches automatically.
- Links release branches to Linear issues.
Example prompts
- "Set up a linear release workflow with 'Development', 'Testing', and 'Production' stages."
- “Create a new release branch named ‘release/1.0.0’ linked to issue #123.”
- "Configure the 'In Review' status for the 'Testing' stage in my Linear workspace."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires access and permissions within your Linear workspace to create and modify configurations. Ensure you have appropriate authorization before running it, as incorrect configuration can impact existing workflows.
