What authentication is required for this skill?

The skill requires a valid Linear API key configured in your environment as the LINEAR_API_KEY variable.

What is the Linear Work Tracker Handler?

It is a specialized skill for Claude Code that enables the AI to interact with the Linear platform to manage tasks, issues, and team collaboration.

Can I still use the legacy scripts in the handler-work-tracker-linear repository?

Yes, scripts are currently retained for backward compatibility with older skill versions, but no new features will be added to them.

Why is this handler marked as deprecated?

This handler is deprecated because functionality has been migrated to the Fractary CLI (`fractary work`), which provides better platform abstraction and simplified maintenance.

How do I migrate to the recommended CLI approach?

Replace calls to the handler scripts with direct Fractary CLI commands, such as using 'fractary work issue fetch --json' instead of the legacy shell scripts.

Collaboration Tools

Integrates Linear project management capabilities into Claude Code for automated issue tracking and workflow synchronization.

This skill serves as a dedicated interface between Claude Code and the Linear platform, allowing AI-driven management of issues, comments, and labels. While currently deprecated in favor of the more efficient Fractary CLI integration, this handler remains available for backward compatibility and provides a robust framework for performing GraphQL-based operations on Linear workspaces. It enables developers to fetch issue details, update task statuses, and organize project metadata directly through the terminal environment, facilitating a tighter loop between code implementation and project tracking.
