Linear

Use linear-cli for all Linear reads and writes unless the user explicitly asks for a different interface.

If linear-cli is not installed, read references/setup.md and complete the one-time setup before continuing.

Core Workflow

1. Confirm the CLI is available with command -v linear-cli.
2. Confirm auth state with linear-cli auth status --output json.
3. Resolve the target workspace before any write:
   • linear-cli api query --output json '{ organization { id name urlKey } }'
4. Clarify scope before mutating anything:
   • project, team, issue identifier, labels, cycle, or status as needed
5. Read first:
   • use list/get commands to build context before create/update/delete/archive
6. For destructive or bulk actions, build the command with an explicit environment instead of relying on layered shell inheritance:
