Plugins

Plugin	Description
linear-cli	Complete command reference for the linear CLI v2.0.0. The agent loads this BEFORE running any linear command, so it doesn't have to call --help or guess parameters.
gitlab-to-linear	Imports open issues from a GitLab project into Linear via glab + linear CLIs. Preserves title, description, non-system comments, priority, assignee, and adds a backlink to the original GitLab issue.

Why a CLI-reference skill instead of an MCP?

Linear ships an MCP server, but in practice it bloats the agent's context with hundreds of tool schemas the user almost never needs. A skill that documents the linear CLI keeps the surface tiny: the description triggers the load, the body lists every flag, and the agent runs ordinary shell commands.

Prerequisites

• linear-cli — install the Linear CLI and run linear auth.
• gitlab-to-linear — additionally needs the glab CLI authenticated against the source GitLab host.
