What it does
valian-linear-cli-skill adds a focused Linear command-line layer to Claude Code so you can manage issues where you already code. Indie builders using Linear for a single roadmap get a direct path from agent conversation to ticket updates—create issues, query backlogs, align work with teams and projects—without bouncing through the Linear UI for every micro-task. The plugin leans on the official Linear TypeScript SDK, which keeps behavior closer to supported APIs than brittle screen-scraping approaches. Use it while scoping validation work, during Build when linking commits to tickets, and in Operate when closing loops on bugs and iterations. It assumes you already run Linear as your system of record; it does not replace roadmap strategy or customer discovery. Setup typically requires a Linear API token and Node-friendly tooling implied by the SDK-based CLI.
Highlights
- Lightweight CLI wrapping the official Linear TypeScript SDK
- Works with issues, projects, teams, and users from the agent
- Single-plugin bundle focused on Linear ops—not a full PM suite
- Fits agent-driven workflows: file bugs, triage, and update status without leaving Claude Code
- Community plugin (1 plugin) with a narrow, dependable integration surface
Why builders use it
Switching between Claude Code and Linear for every ticket update breaks flow and makes the agent unable to ground work in your real backlog.
After install, the agent can drive Linear CRUD and queries via CLI commands tied to your workspace token.
