# Linear
Tools and workflows for managing issues, projects, and teams in Linear.
## Environment
- **`linear` CLI**: !`linear --version 2>/dev/null || echo "not installed"`
The connector and MCP paths need no CLI. The CLI-only operations (relations, bulk work) require `linear`; when it reads "not installed", stay on the connector. The version above tells you which CLI is installed. Confirm its exact subcommands and flags with `linear <cmd> --help` or the `linear-cli:linear-cli` skill rather than assuming them.
## Arguments
`$0` (optional verb) routes to an operation; pass the rest (issue id, title, filters) as its params. With no verb, infer the operation from the request.
- `create`: create an issue. See [Creating vs Updating](#creating-vs-updating) and Issue Status in [references/conventions.md](references/conventions.md).
- `update`: update an issue by id. See [Creating vs Updating](#creating-vs-updating).
- `list`: query issues. See Querying Issues in [references/conventions.md](references/conventions.md).
- `view`: fetch a single issue; include its `url` for anything you may reference.
- `comment`: comment on an issue, using full URLs per Issue References in [references/conventions.md](references/conventions.md).
Pick a tool path per [Tool Selection](#tool-selection).
