Linear to Knowledge Base Synchronization

VerifiedSafe

Synchronizes Linear project state to a local knowledge base in two phases: a lightweight structural scan followed by a deep team-by-team sync. Useful for keeping local history of teams, initiatives, and milestones up to date without exhausting context.

Automated summary

Synchronizes Linear project state to a local knowledge base using a two-phase process.

Strengths

  • Fully automates synchronization of projects, initiatives, and issues.
  • Two-phase approach to avoid exhausting context window.
  • Supports incremental per-team sync.
  • Consolidated summary with historical links.

Limitations

  • Requires Linear API access and prior configuration.
  • Sequential sync can be slow for many teams.
  • Depends on correct team IDs from the scan.
When to use it

Use this skill to keep a local knowledge base up-to-date with Linear project status, especially for regular reporting or a comprehensive overview.

When not to use it

Avoid if your team is small and manual updates suffice, or if you don't need a local knowledge base.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score75/100

The skill only instructs to read from Linear and write to local knowledge base files; no destructive commands, exfiltration, or code execution is implied.

No concerns found

Examples

Full sync of all Linear teams
Sync all Linear projects to the knowledge base.
Sync a single team
Sync the Engineering team from Linear.

name: sync-linear description: "Sincronizar estado de proyectos de Linear a la base de conocimiento." disable-model-invocation: false

El usuario quiere sincronizar el estado de sus proyectos de Linear a la base de conocimiento local.

La sync se divide en dos fases para evitar agotar el contexto:

  1. linear-scan — escaneo estructural ligero (teams, iniciativas, proyectos). Sin issues.
  2. linear-team-sync — sync profundo de UN solo equipo (issues, milestones, snapshots).

Si $ARGUMENTS tiene nombre de equipo (ej: /sync-linear Accounting)

Lanza directamente linear-team-sync en modo standalone:

Task(subagent_type="linear-team-sync", prompt="
Sincroniza el equipo {$ARGUMENTS} en modo standalone.
- Equipo: {$ARGUMENTS}
- Fecha actual: {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}
- Modo: standalone
- Path historico: kb/gestion/linear/historico/{YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM}.md
Busca el ID del equipo consultando Linear. Lee METADATA.md para contexto previo.
")

Muestra el resumen al terminar.


Si $ARGUMENTS esta vacio (sync completo)

Paso 1: Lanzar linear-scan

Task(subagent_type="linear-scan", prompt="
Escanea la estructura completa del workspace de Linear. Fecha actual: {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}.
Sincronizar todos los equipos.
")

Del resultado, extrae:

  • Lista de equipos con nombres e IDs (del bloque EQUIPOS)
  • Path del historico (del bloque HISTORICO)

Paso 2: Sync por equipo (secuencial)

Por CADA equipo de la lista, lanza linear-team-sync uno a la vez (secuencial, no en paralelo — cada uno consume contexto significativo):

Task(subagent_type="linear-team-sync", prompt="
Sincroniza el equipo {Team Name} de forma incremental.
- Equipo: {Team Name}
- ID del equipo: {team_id}
- Fecha actual: {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}
- Modo: full-sync
- Path historico: {path extraido del scan}
")

Colecta el resumen de cada equipo.

Paso 3: Mostrar resumen consolidado

Al terminar todos los equipos, muestra un resumen consolidado con:

  • Equipos sincronizados
  • Proyectos totales
  • Issues activos totales
  • Cambios mas relevantes por equipo
  • Link al historico

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/download' --output '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/sync-linear' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh' '.claude/skills/sync-linear'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh'

openskills read 'linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/linear-to-knowledge-base-synchronization-mmio70oh/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
