## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### Linear Todos

⚠️  This is a SOURCE-EXECUTION skill. The agent runs Python code from src/linear_todos/ when you invoke CLI commands. This is not instruction-only. Review src/linear_todos/api.py before first use.
🔐 Security Note: This skill stores your Linear API key in plaintext JSON at ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json only if you run the setup command. Use a dedicated API key with minimal scope. The key is only used for Linear API calls and is never transmitted elsewhere. Prefer environment variables (LINEAR_API_KEY) to avoid persisted state.
Audit Info: This skill makes HTTPS requests only to api.linear.app (Linear's official GraphQL API). No data is sent elsewhere. See src/linear_todos/api.py for the API client implementation.

### Credentials

VariableRequiredDescriptionLINEAR_API_KEYYesYour Linear API key from linear.app/settings/apiLINEAR_TEAM_IDNoDefault team ID for todosLINEAR_STATE_IDNoDefault state for new todosLINEAR_DONE_STATE_IDNoState for completed todosLINEAR_TIMEZONENoYour local timezone (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London). Used for "end of day" calculations. Falls back to OpenClaw USER.md timezone if available.

Config Path: ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json (created by setup, permissions 0o600)

### What This Skill Does

HTTP Requests: Makes HTTPS requests only to https://api.linear.app/graphql (Linear's official API). No telemetry, no third-party services.
Data Storage: Stores your API key and config in ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json (plaintext, permissions 0o600) only if you run the setup command. Team/issue data is fetched fresh each run — nothing is cached locally except your config.
Runtime Behavior: This skill runs from bundled Python source code (not preinstalled system tools). The agent executes main.py and code in src/linear_todos/ when you run CLI commands.
Setup Behavior: During interactive setup, the wizard temporarily sets LINEAR_API_KEY in the process environment to test the key. This is only during the setup session and is not persisted.
No Auto-Enable: Does not request platform privileges (always: false). Will not auto-enable itself for all agents.
Code Locations:

src/linear_todos/api.py — All HTTP requests to Linear
src/linear_todos/config.py — Config file handling
src/linear_todos/setup_wizard.py — Interactive setup
src/linear_todos/cli.py — CLI commands

### Recommended Security Practices

Use a dedicated API key: Create a separate Linear API token with minimal scope for this skill. Revoke it if you uninstall or stop using the skill.
Prefer environment variables: Set LINEAR_API_KEY in your shell instead of running setup — no plaintext file is created.
Audit the code: Review src/linear_todos/api.py to verify HTTP destinations before first use.
Run initial setup in isolation: If unsure, run the skill in a container/VM for the first setup to inspect behavior.

### Cron Jobs (Optional)

The file cron-jobs.txt contains example cron entries for daily digests. It does NOT automatically install them. Adding cron jobs requires manual action:

# Review the examples first:
cat cron-jobs.txt

# If you want to use them, edit your crontab:
crontab -e

Preferred alternative: Use OpenClaw's built-in cron instead of system crontab:

openclaw cron add --name "morning-digest" --schedule "0 8 * * *" \\
  --payload "linear-todos digest" --session-target isolated

A powerful todo management system built on Linear with smart date parsing, priorities, and a complete CLI workflow.

### Quick Start

# Setup (run once)
uv run python main.py setup

# Create todos
uv run python main.py create "Call mom" --when day
uv run python main.py create "Pay taxes" --date 2025-04-15
uv run python main.py create "Review PR" --priority high --when week

# Natural language dates
uv run python main.py create "Meeting prep" --date "tomorrow"
uv run python main.py create "Weekly report" --date "next Monday"
uv run python main.py create "Dentist" --date "in 3 days"

# Manage todos
uv run python main.py list
uv run python main.py done ABC-123
uv run python main.py snooze ABC-123 "next week"

# Daily review
uv run python main.py review

### 1. Get API Key

Get your API key from linear.app/settings/api. Recommendation: Create a dedicated API key with minimal scope for this skill.

### 2. Run Setup

uv run python main.py setup

This interactive wizard will:

Verify your API key
List your Linear teams
Let you select your todo team
Configure initial and done states
Save settings to ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json (plaintext JSON)

### 3. Manual Configuration (optional)

Instead of running setup, you can use environment variables:

export LINEAR_API_KEY="lin_api_..."
export LINEAR_TEAM_ID="your-team-id"
export LINEAR_STATE_ID="your-todo-state-id"
export LINEAR_DONE_STATE_ID="your-done-state-id"

Or create ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json:

{
  "apiKey": "lin_api_...",
  "teamId": "team-uuid",
  "stateId": "todo-state-uuid",
  "doneStateId": "done-state-uuid",
  "timezone": "America/New_York"
}

### create

Create a new todo with optional timing, priority, and description.

uv run python main.py create "Title" [options]

Options:
  --when day|week|month     Relative due date
  --date DATE               Specific due date (supports natural language)
  --priority LEVEL          urgent, high, normal, low, none
  --desc "Description"      Add description

Natural Date Examples:

uv run python main.py create "Task" --date "tomorrow"
uv run python main.py create "Task" --date "Friday"
uv run python main.py create "Task" --date "next Monday"
uv run python main.py create "Task" --date "in 3 days"
uv run python main.py create "Task" --date "in 2 weeks"
uv run python main.py create "Task" --date "2025-04-15"

Complete Examples:

# Due by end of today
uv run python main.py create "Call mom" --when day

# Due in 7 days
uv run python main.py create "Submit report" --when week

# Specific date with high priority
uv run python main.py create "Launch feature" --date 2025-03-15 --priority high

# Natural language date with description
uv run python main.py create "Team meeting prep" --date "next Monday" --desc "Prepare slides"

# Urgent priority, due tomorrow
uv run python main.py create "Fix production bug" --priority urgent --date tomorrow

### list

List all your todos.

uv run python main.py list [options]

Options:
  --all       Include completed todos
  --json      Output as JSON

### done

Mark a todo as completed.

uv run python main.py done ISSUE_ID

# Examples
uv run python main.py done TODO-123
uv run python main.py done ABC-456

### snooze

Reschedule a todo to a later date.

uv run python main.py snooze ISSUE_ID [when]

# Examples
uv run python main.py snooze TODO-123 "tomorrow"
uv run python main.py snooze TODO-123 "next Friday"
uv run python main.py snooze TODO-123 "in 1 week"

### review

Daily review command that organizes todos by urgency.

uv run python main.py review

Output sections:

🚨 OVERDUE - Past due date
📅 Due Today - Due today
⚡ High Priority - Urgent/high priority items
📊 This Week - Due within 7 days
📅 This Month - Due within 28 days
📝 No Due Date - Items without dates

### setup

Interactive setup wizard to configure your Linear integration.

uv run python main.py setup

This will guide you through:

Verifying your API key
Selecting your Linear team
Configuring initial and done states
Saving settings to ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json

### For Agents

When the user asks for reminders or todos:

### 1. Parse Natural Language Dates

Convert user input to specific dates:

# "remind me Friday to call mom"
uv run python main.py create "Call mom" --date "2025-02-21"

# "remind me to pay taxes by April 15"
uv run python main.py create "Pay taxes" --date "2025-04-15"

# "remind me next week about the meeting"
uv run python main.py create "Meeting" --date "next Monday"

### 2. Determine Priority

Ask if not specified:

Urgent (🔥) - Critical, do immediately
High (⚡) - Important, do soon
Normal (📌) - Standard priority (default)
Low (💤) - Can wait

### 3. Daily Briefing

When asked "what do I have to do today", run:

uv run python main.py review

Present the output exactly as formatted - don't reformat or summarize.

### 4. Complete Todos

When user says they completed something, mark it done:

uv run python main.py done ISSUE-123

### Date Parsing Reference

InputResulttodayTodaytomorrowNext dayFridayNext occurrence of Fridaynext MondayMonday of next weekthis FridayFriday of current week (or next if passed)in 3 days3 days from nowin 2 weeks14 days from now2025-04-15Specific date

### Priority Levels

LevelNumberIconUse ForUrgent1🔥Critical, blocking issuesHigh2⚡Important, time-sensitiveNormal3📌Standard tasks (default)Low4💤Nice-to-have, can waitNone0📋No priority set

### Timezone Support

By default, due dates are calculated in UTC (end of day = 23:59:59 UTC). To use your local timezone for "end of day" calculations:

# Set via environment variable
export LINEAR_TIMEZONE="America/New_York"

# Or add to config.json
{
  "timezone": "America/New_York"
}

OpenClaw Integration: If running inside an OpenClaw workspace, the skill will automatically detect your timezone from USER.md (e.g., timezone: America/New_York). No manual configuration needed!

When a timezone is configured:

--when day sets due date to end of today in your timezone (converted to UTC for Linear)
--when week sets due date to 7 days from now, end of day in your timezone
--date "tomorrow" sets due date to end of tomorrow in your timezone

Common timezone values: America/New_York, America/Los_Angeles, Europe/London, Europe/Paris, Asia/Tokyo

### Configuration Precedence

Settings are loaded in this order (later overrides earlier):

Default values (none)
Config file: ~/.config/linear-todos/config.json
Environment variables: LINEAR_*
Command-line flags: --team, --state
