Full Linear project management via GraphQL API.

What I do

• Create, update, and search issues
• Move issues through workflow states by name
• Manage cycles and sprints
• Summarize team backlogs in plain English
• Sync git commit messages to issue states (e.g. "fixes ENG-42")
• Create and manage projects
• Post comments on issues

Setup

Requires LINEAR_API_KEY environment variable. Get your key at: Linear → Settings → Security & Access → API Keys Set your Linear API key:

LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_yourkey

Get your key at: Linear → Settings → Security & Access → API Keys

Usage

Works as both an OpenClaw skill and standalone CLI:

node index.js list-teams
node index.js create-issue --title "My issue" --teamId ENG
node index.js backlog-summary --teamId ENG
