No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming <code>RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS</code> responds</li>\n<li>Call <code>RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS</code> with toolkit <code>linear</code></li>\n<li>If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Linear OAuth</li>\n<li>Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Core Workflows</h2>\n<h3>1. Manage Issues</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to create, search, update, or list Linear issues</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>LINEAR_GET_ALL_LINEAR_TEAMS</code> - Get team IDs [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_STATES</code> - Get workflow states for a team [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_ISSUE</code> - Create a new issue [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_SEARCH_ISSUES</code> / <code>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_ISSUES</code> - Find issues [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_GET_LINEAR_ISSUE</code> - Get issue details [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_UPDATE_ISSUE</code> - Update issue properties [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>team_id</code>: Team ID (required for creation)</li>\n<li><code>title</code>: Issue title</li>\n<li><code>description</code>: Issue description (Markdown supported)</li>\n<li><code>state_id</code>: Workflow state ID</li>\n<li><code>assignee_id</code>: Assignee user ID</li>\n<li><code>priority</code>: 0 (none), 1 (urgent), 2 (high), 3 (medium), 4 (low)</li>\n<li><code>label_ids</code>: Array of label IDs</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Team ID is required when creating issues; use GET_ALL_LINEAR_TEAMS first</li>\n<li>State IDs are team-specific; use LIST_LINEAR_STATES with the correct team</li>\n<li>Priority uses integer values 0-4, not string names</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>2. Manage Projects</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to create or update Linear projects</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_PROJECTS</code> - List existing projects [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_PROJECT</code> - Create a new project [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_UPDATE_LINEAR_PROJECT</code> - Update project details [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>name</code>: Project name</li>\n<li><code>description</code>: Project description</li>\n<li><code>team_ids</code>: Array of team IDs associated with the project</li>\n<li><code>state</code>: Project state (e.g., 'planned', 'started', 'completed')</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Projects span teams; they can be associated with multiple teams</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>3. Manage Cycles</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to work with Linear cycles (sprints)</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>LINEAR_GET_ALL_LINEAR_TEAMS</code> - Get team ID [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_GET_CYCLES_BY_TEAM_ID</code> / <code>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_CYCLES</code> - List cycles [Required]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>team_id</code>: Team ID for cycle operations</li>\n<li><code>number</code>: Cycle number</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cycles are team-specific; always scope by team_id</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>4. Manage Labels and Comments</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to create labels or comment on issues</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_LABEL</code> - Create a new label [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_COMMENT</code> - Comment on an issue [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>LINEAR_UPDATE_LINEAR_COMMENT</code> - Edit a comment [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>name</code>: Label name</li>\n<li><code>color</code>: Label color (hex)</li>\n<li><code>issue_id</code>: Issue ID for comments</li>\n<li><code>body</code>: Comment body (Markdown)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Labels can be team-scoped or workspace-scoped</li>\n<li>Comment body supports Markdown formatting</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>5. Custom GraphQL Queries</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User needs advanced queries not covered by standard tools</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>LINEAR_RUN_QUERY_OR_MUTATION</code> - Execute custom GraphQL [Required]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>query</code>: GraphQL query or mutation string</li>\n<li><code>variables</code>: Variables for the query</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requires knowledge of Linear's GraphQL schema</li>\n<li>Rate limits apply to GraphQL queries</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Common Patterns</h2>\n<h3>ID Resolution</h3>\n<p><strong>Team name -&gt; Team ID</strong>:</p>\n<pre><code>1. Call LINEAR_GET_ALL_LINEAR_TEAMS\n2. Find team by name in response\n3. Extract id field\n</code></pre>\n<p><strong>State name -&gt; State ID</strong>:</p>\n<pre><code>1. Call LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_STATES with team_id\n2. Find state by name\n3. Extract id field\n</code></pre>\n<h3>Pagination</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Linear tools return paginated results</li>\n<li>Check for pagination cursors in responses</li>\n<li>Pass cursor to next request for additional pages</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Known Pitfalls</h2>\n<p><strong>Team Scoping</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Issues, states, and cycles are team-specific</li>\n<li>Always resolve team_id before creating issues</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Priority Values</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>0 = No priority, 1 = Urgent, 2 = High, 3 = Medium, 4 = Low</li>\n<li>Use integer values, not string names</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Quick Reference</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Task</th>\n<th>Tool Slug</th>\n<th>Key Params</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>List teams</td>\n<td>LINEAR_GET_ALL_LINEAR_TEAMS</td>\n<td>(none)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create issue</td>\n<td>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_ISSUE</td>\n<td>team_id, title, description</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Search issues</td>\n<td>LINEAR_SEARCH_ISSUES</td>\n<td>query</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List issues</td>\n<td>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_ISSUES</td>\n<td>team_id, filters</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get issue</td>\n<td>LINEAR_GET_LINEAR_ISSUE</td>\n<td>issue_id</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update issue</td>\n<td>LINEAR_UPDATE_ISSUE</td>\n<td>issue_id, fields</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List states</td>\n<td>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_STATES</td>\n<td>team_id</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List projects</td>\n<td>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_PROJECTS</td>\n<td>(none)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create project</td>\n<td>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_PROJECT</td>\n<td>name, team_ids</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update project</td>\n<td>LINEAR_UPDATE_LINEAR_PROJECT</td>\n<td>project_id, fields</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List cycles</td>\n<td>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_CYCLES</td>\n<td>team_id</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get cycles</td>\n<td>LINEAR_GET_CYCLES_BY_TEAM_ID</td>\n<td>team_id</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create label</td>\n<td>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_LABEL</td>\n<td>name, color</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create comment</td>\n<td>LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_COMMENT</td>\n<td>issue_id, body</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update comment</td>\n<td>LINEAR_UPDATE_LINEAR_COMMENT</td>\n<td>comment_id, body</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List users</td>\n<td>LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_USERS</td>\n<td>(none)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Current user</td>\n<td>LINEAR_GET_CURRENT_USER</td>\n<td>(none)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run GraphQL</td>\n<td>LINEAR_RUN_QUERY_OR_MUTATION</td>\n<td>query, variables</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Powered by <a href=\"https://composio.dev\">Composio</a></em></p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":6085,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
