Linear

Linear is reached through GraphQL with the bundled helper. There is no Linear MCP in either harness; never ask for a key and never paste one.

Keys are already in the session environment: LINEAR_API_KEY for the default workspace, and one LINEAR_API_KEY_<WORKSPACE> per additional workspace. The user's own instructions say which workspace and team prefixes each variable covers; read that mapping there, never infer it from an email, project or issue prefix.

If a variable is empty, say which one and stop. Do not go looking in .env files, and do not copy a key anywhere.

scripts/graphql reads LINEAR_API_KEY from the environment, never from arguments, and posts a complete GraphQL JSON request from standard input to https://api.linear.app/graphql. For another workspace, run it with the variable re-pointed for that one subprocess:

printf '%s' '{"query":"query { viewer { name } }"}' | scripts/graphql
LINEAR_API_KEY="$LINEAR_API_KEY_OTHER" scripts/graphql < request.json
