# Linear skill

Linear is the issue tracker designed like a fast native app: keyboard-first, opinionated workflow, gorgeous graphs. Humans who have suffered Jira feel the difference in a day. The GraphQL API, webhooks, and synced GitHub PRs make it agent-friendly. There is no official CLI of GitHub's stature, which nicks the agent score, but the API quality is among the best in the catalog. Twin Score on this directory is 92 for humans and 86 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Linear is sold by Linear, founded 2019, headquartered in San Francisco, USA / remote. Pricing in public materials: Free for small teams; Standard, Plus, and Enterprise per-seat. Machine capabilities we record: API excellent, MCP basic, CLI none, docs excellent, auth OAuth and API keys; GraphQL. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.
