linear-cli — Issue Management CLI (Git/JJ Aware)

Main

• End-to-end issue flow: README shows listing, searching, starting issues (creating branches), and generating PRs via gh CLI integration.

• Repo-aware views: README says it is git and jj aware to keep you in the right Linear views for your current branch/context.

• Agent-friendly: README explicitly notes it includes a skill so agents can create issues and update status alongside code changes.

• Multiple install options: README includes Homebrew plus npm/pnpm/bun and a deno(jsr) path.

Source-backed notes

• README lists example commands like linear issue mine, linear issue query, linear issue start, and linear issue create.
• README includes install paths: brew install schpet/tap/linear and npm install -D @schpet/linear-cli (plus pnpm/bun).
• README states it works well with AI agents and ships a skill section for agent usage.

FAQ

• Do I need the Linear UI?: Not for day-to-day actions — README positions the CLI as a complement to web/desktop apps.
• Does it create branches automatically?: README shows linear issue start which can create a branch for the chosen issue.
• How do agents use it?: Use the skill section in README; the CLI exposes issue actions that agents can call as steps in automation.
