# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Linear CLI

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `linear`.

## What this CLI is for
Issue tracking, product work, and team coordination from the terminal. Built by Linear.

Best for: issue tracking, product work, and team coordination from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (25/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.

## Install
```sh
npm install -g @linear/sdk
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
linear --help
```
Expected signal: linear responds locally; authenticate before real work.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
linear --help
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Verify identity/account before running task commands.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Linear CLI (`linear`) for issue tracking, product work, and team coordination from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
