Finding Upload URLs

Upload URLs are found in:

• Issue descriptions (linear-cli i get LIN-123 --output json)
• Comments (linear-cli cm list LIN-123 --output json)

URL pattern: https://uploads.linear.app/{org}/{upload}/{filename}

View Images (AI Agents)

Since Claude is multimodal, download then read:

# 1. Download to temp file
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." -f /tmp/screenshot.png

# 2. Use Read tool on the file
# Claude can view images directly

Tips

• Requires valid LINEAR_API_KEY
• Use -f / --file to specify output filename
• Without -f, outputs raw bytes to stdout
• URLs must be from uploads.linear.app
