# Linear
Tools and workflows for managing issues, projects, and teams in Linear.
---
## ⚠️ Tool Availability (READ FIRST)
**This skill supports multiple tool backends. Use whichever is available:**
1. **MCP Tools (mcp__linear)** - Use if available in your tool set
2. **Linear CLI (`linear` command)** - Always available via Bash
3. **Helper Scripts** - For complex operations
**If MCP tools are NOT available**, use the Linear CLI via Bash:
```bash
# View an issue
linear issues view ENG-123
# Create an issue
linear issues create --title "Issue title" --description "Description"
# Update issue status (get state IDs first)
linear issues update ENG-123 -s "STATE_ID"
# Add a comment
linear issues comment add ENG-123 -m "Comment text"
# List issues
linear issues list
```
**Do NOT report "MCP tools not available" as a blocker** - use CLI instead.

## 🔐 Security: Varlock Integration
**CRITICAL**: Never expose API keys in terminal output or Claude's context.
### Safe Commands (Always Use)
```bash
# Validate LINEAR_API_KEY is set (masked output)
varlock load 2>&1 | grep LINEAR
# Run commands with secrets injected
varlock run -- npm run query -- "query { viewer { name } }"
# Check schema (safe - no values)
cat .env.schema | grep LINEAR
```
### Unsafe Commands (NEVER Use)
```bash
# ❌ NEVER - exposes key to Claude's context
linear config show
echo $LINEAR_API_KEY
printenv | grep LINEAR
cat .env
```

Project Architect
260ersinkoc/project-architect
Documentation-first project planning that produces implementation-ready blueprints and single-shot coding agent prompts. Generates 4 interconnected docs — SPECIFICATION.md, IMPLEMENTATION.md, TASKS.md, BRANDING.md — plus a self-contained PROMPT.md for autonomous execution by any coding agent. Includes interactive tech stack selection, design pattern recommendations, and architecture decisions with trade-off analysis. Trigger when user wants to: plan a project, create specs, architect a system, break work into tasks, choose a tech stack, get design pattern advice, generate a coding agent prompt
Codex Workflows
328scasella/claude-dynamic-workflows-codex
Run a dynamic-workflow script on a local Codex App Server — orchestrate many Codex / GPT agents (the agent / parallel / pipeline / phase / budget DSL) instead of Claude subagents, for codebase audits, large migrations, and multi-agent review or research. Give it one or two rough sentences and it compiles the right harness for you; add --multi for a supervised fleet of concurrent workflows. Manual-invoke only via /codex-workflows.
Ax Extract Workflow
122Necmttn/ax
Reconstruct the workflow behind a past artifact - "what made X work" / "extract workflow from <date|sha>" / "how did we ship Y". Uses ax to find the relevant sessions and narrate the ordered skill arcs that produced the result. Triggers on "what made X work", "how did we build Y", "extract workflow from <date>", "extract workflow from <sha>", "what was the workflow around <topic>", "show me how I shipped <feature>", "reconstruct the recipe for <artifact>". Do NOT fire on generic "show recent activity" - this skill is for reconstructing the workflow behind a specific artifact.
Readable Verilog Generator
326Eriemon/verilog-generator
Use when creating, writing, reviewing, annotating, repairing, refactoring, or validating readable Verilog RTL, including synthesizable Verilog-2001 .v files, existing-RTL analysis, semantic comment annotation, testbench scaffold planning, ASIC-quality review, local or remote Vivado/xsim validation, evidence-backed repair, and workflow trace diagnosis.
