Can I manage specific sprint cycles using this skill?

Yes, you can list active cycles for specific teams, view issues within a sprint, and manage task assignments for the current development period.

How does the skill recognize which issue I'm talking about?

It uses specialized pattern recognition for standard Linear identifiers like 'TEAM-123', allowing it to automatically fetch details when those IDs are mentioned.

Is the output optimized for AI agents?

Yes, the skill utilizes the Linearis CLI with JSON output, which provides structured data that Claude can easily parse and act upon.

How do I authenticate this skill with Linear?

The skill prioritizes authentication by looking for a LINEAR_API_KEY in your project's .env file or a LINEAR_API_TOKEN environment variable for secure API access.

Does it support custom labels and priorities?

Absolutely. You can assign labels, set priority levels (1-4), and define parent-child ticket relationships during issue creation or updates.
