Linearis Cli
Execute Linear CLI commands to manage tickets, cycles, and projects from Claude
What You Can Do
You can interact with Linear project management directly through Claude by executing Linearis CLI commands. Read and search tickets by ID (TEAM-123, ENG-456), create and update issues with status/priority/labels, manage cycles and milestones, and add comments to tickets—all without leaving Claude. The skill provides exact syntax patterns and flags to avoid command errors.
