You can interact with Linear's GraphQL API to:
The following environment variables are required:
LINEAR_API_KEY - Your Linear API keyLINEAR_TEAM_ID - The team ID to create issues inOptional:
LINEAR_API_URL - Custom API endpoint (default: https://api.linear.app/graphql)LINEAR_PROJECT_PREFIX - Auto-prefix for project namesUse bash with curl to make GraphQL requests to Linear:
curl -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
-d '{"query": "YOUR_GRAPHQL_QUERY", "variables": {}}'
