OpenClaw Linear Skill

Last verified: 2026-03-15

A markdown-based OpenClaw skill that gives agents step-by-step curl commands for managing Linear issues, projects, and comments via the Linear GraphQL API.

Why not ClawHub?

ClawHub (the public skill marketplace) was compromised by the ClawHavoc campaign in February 2026. This skill is self-hosted to avoid supply-chain risk — it's plain markdown with curl commands, no compiled code.

Operations

Operation GraphQL Description
List teams Query All teams with IDs and keys
List issues Query Filter by team, status, labels
Get issue Query Single issue by ID with full details
Create issue Mutation New issue with title, description, team
Update issue Mutation Change status, assignee, etc.
List statuses Query Workflow states for a team
List labels Query All labels with IDs
Create label Mutation New label with name and color
List comments Query Comments on an issue
Add comment Mutation Post a comment to an issue

Requirements

  • curl binary
  • LINEAR_API_KEY environment variable (personal API key, no Bearer prefix)

Rate limits

1,500 requests per hour per API key.

Setup

The skill file is a Markdown document that agents read directly. No installation or build step required — just ensure the env var is set and the skill file is accessible.

For Kubernetes deployment, mount as a ConfigMap and inject the API key via Vault.
