\n

Linear is the project management tool that developers actually like using. Fast, keyboard-driven, opinionated about workflow. The API follows the same philosophy: clean GraphQL, consistent conventions, and almost no gotchas.<\/p>\n

Almost.<\/p>\n

This guide covers the complete OpenClaw-Linear integration: API key setup, label-based triage automation, auto-linking to GitHub PRs, and the daily standup digest that saves 10 minutes every morning.<\/p>\n

API Key Setup<\/h2>\n

Linear uses API keys for personal access and OAuth for team applications. For OpenClaw, use a personal API key unless you’re setting this up for a shared team workflow.<\/p>\n

Generate an API key:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to Linear \u2192 Settings \u2192 Security & Access \u2192 Personal API Keys<\/li>\n
  2. Click Create key<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Name it “OpenClaw”<\/li>\n
  4. Copy the key immediately \u2014 Linear only shows it once<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    # OpenClaw config\nlinear_api_key: \"lin_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
    Or environment variable:<\/p>\n
    export LINEAR_API_KEY=\"lin_api_xxxx...\"\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
    Verify the connection:<\/strong><\/p>\n
    @openclaw check linear connection\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
    Expected: “Linear connected. Found X teams: [team names].”<\/p>\n
    Linear’s API base URL is https:\/\/api.linear.app\/graphql<\/code>. Everything is GraphQL \u2014 there are no REST endpoints. If you’re building custom skills, every request is a POST to that URL with a GraphQL query in the body and your API key in the Authorization<\/code> header.<\/p>\n
    Understanding Linear’s Data Model<\/h2>\n
    Before building automations, the data model matters:<\/p>\n
      \n
    • Organization<\/strong> \u2014 your workspace<\/li>\n
    • Teams<\/strong> \u2014 groups within the organization (Engineering, Design, etc.)<\/li>\n
    • Projects<\/strong> \u2014 collections of issues with a goal and timeline<\/li>\n
    • Issues<\/strong> \u2014 individual work items (have states, labels, assignees, priorities)<\/li>\n
    • Cycles<\/strong> \u2014 sprints (time-boxed, optional)<\/li>\n
    • Comments<\/strong> \u2014 on issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      The hierarchy: Organization \u2192 Teams \u2192 Projects\/Cycles \u2192 Issues \u2192 Comments.<\/p>\n
      Issues have states (not just “open\/closed”). States are team-specific and configurable: Todo, In Progress, In Review, Done, Cancelled are common, but teams customize these. When automating, always fetch the team’s actual states rather than assuming names.<\/p>\n
      Reading Issues: Queries That Actually Work<\/h2>\n
      Fetch Issues for a Team<\/h3>\n
      @openclaw show me all open issues in the Engineering team\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
      GraphQL query behind this:<\/p>\n
      query {\n  issues(\n    filter: {\n      team: { key: { eq: \"ENG\" } }\n      state: { type: { in: [\"triage\", \"backlog\", \"started\", \"unstarted\"] } }\n    }\n    orderBy: updatedAt\n  ) {\n    nodes {\n      id\n      title\n      state { name }\n      priority\n      assignee { name }\n      labels { nodes { name color } }\n      createdAt\n      updatedAt\n    }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
      Priority values in Linear’s API:<\/strong><\/p>\n
        \n
      • 0 = No priority<\/li>\n
      • 1 = Urgent<\/li>\n
      • 2 = High<\/li>\n
      • 3 = Medium<\/li>\n
      • 4 = Low<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        When filtering by priority in automations, use these integers, not string names.<\/p>\n
        Fetch Issues Assigned to Me<\/h3>\n
        @openclaw what are my open Linear issues?\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
        query {\n  viewer {\n    assignedIssues(\n      filter: {\n        state: { type: { notIn: [\"completed\", \"cancelled\"] } }\n      }\n    ) {\n      nodes {\n        id\n        title\n        priority\n        state { name }\n        team { name }\n        dueDate\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
        Search Issues<\/h3>\n
        @openclaw find Linear issues mentioning \"authentication bug\"\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
        query {\n  issueSearch(\n    query: \"authentication bug\"\n    filter: {\n      state: { type: { notIn: [\"completed\", \"cancelled\"] } }\n    }\n  ) {\n    nodes {\n      id\n      title\n      team { name }\n      state { name }\n    }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
        Label-Based Triage: The Core Automation<\/h2>\n
        Label-based triage is where OpenClaw earns its keep in a Linear workflow. Instead of manually reviewing new issues and categorizing them, OpenClaw can do it automatically.<\/p>\n
        The Triage Workflow<\/h3>\n
        @openclaw triage all issues in the Triage state for Engineering team\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
        What OpenClaw does:<\/p>\n
          \n
        1. Fetches all issues in the “Triage” state<\/li>\n
        2. Reads each issue title, description, and any existing labels<\/li>\n
        3. Based on content analysis:\n
            \n
          • Sets priority (Urgent\/High\/Medium\/Low)<\/li>\n
          • Adds labels (Bug, Feature, Improvement, Question, Documentation)<\/li>\n
          • Assigns to team members based on keywords and ownership patterns<\/li>\n
          • Moves to appropriate state (Backlog or directly to In Progress for urgent items)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • Adds a triage comment explaining its reasoning<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            Setting Up Triage Rules<\/h3>\n
            Configure triage rules in your OpenClaw skill config:<\/p>\n
            linear_triage_rules:\n  labels:\n    Bug:\n      keywords: [\"error\", \"crash\", \"broken\", \"not working\", \"fails\", \"exception\", \"500\", \"null pointer\"]\n      priority: high\n    Security:\n      keywords: [\"vulnerability\", \"CVE\", \"SQL injection\", \"XSS\", \"auth bypass\", \"exposed\"]\n      priority: urgent\n    Performance:\n      keywords: [\"slow\", \"timeout\", \"latency\", \"memory leak\", \"CPU\", \"optimization\"]\n      priority: medium\n  assignments:\n    - if_label: Security\n      assign_to: \"security-team-member@company.com\"\n    - if_label: Bug\n      if_mentions: [\"payment\", \"billing\", \"invoice\"]\n      assign_to: \"payments-lead@company.com\"\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
            Running Triage Automatically<\/h3>\n
            The most useful pattern: run triage on a schedule.<\/p>\n
            @openclaw every morning at 9am, triage new issues added to Engineering Triage since yesterday\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
            OpenClaw sets up the scheduled job. Every morning it:<\/p>\n
              \n
            1. Fetches issues created since yesterday with no labels<\/li>\n
            2. Applies triage rules<\/li>\n
            3. Sends you a summary: “Triaged 7 issues: 2 Urgent, 3 High, 2 Medium”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              Manual Triage Override<\/h3>\n
              Automations make mistakes. When OpenClaw mis-labels an issue:<\/p>\n
              @openclaw that issue #ENG-341 isn't a bug, it's a feature request, update it\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
              OpenClaw updates the label via API and adjusts its triage model to improve future classifications.<\/p>\n
              Auto-Linking to GitHub PRs<\/h2>\n
              This is the integration most Linear+GitHub teams want and not enough people set up.<\/p>\n
              How Linear-GitHub Linking Works<\/h3>\n
              Linear has native GitHub integration, but it requires GitHub access in Linear’s settings. There’s also an API approach that works regardless:<\/p>\n
              Option 1: Linear’s native GitHub integration<\/strong><\/p>\n
              In Linear: Settings \u2192 Integrations \u2192 GitHub \u2192 Connect<\/p>\n
              This automatically links PRs to issues when the PR title or branch contains the issue identifier (e.g., ENG-341<\/code>).<\/p>\n
              Option 2: OpenClaw as the bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n
              If you want more control or the native integration isn’t available:<\/p>\n
              @openclaw link PR #847 in github.com\/org\/repo to Linear issue ENG-341\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
              OpenClaw:<\/p>\n
                \n
              1. Fetches PR details from GitHub API<\/li>\n
              2. Creates an attachment on the Linear issue linking to the PR<\/li>\n
              3. Adds a comment to the Linear issue with PR status<\/li>\n
              4. Optionally moves the Linear issue to “In Review” state<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                The Branch Naming Convention<\/h3>\n
                The simplest auto-linking approach: require branch names to include the Linear issue ID.<\/p>\n
                # Good branch names that auto-link\nfeat\/ENG-341-user-auth-redesign\nfix\/ENG-292-payment-null-pointer\nchore\/ENG-400-update-dependencies\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                When OpenClaw monitors your GitHub repo for new PRs, it extracts the Linear issue ID from the branch name and links them automatically.<\/p>\n
                PR Status \u2192 Linear State Updates<\/h3>\n
                # OpenClaw config: PR events \u2192 Linear state changes\ngithub_to_linear_state_map:\n  pr_opened: \"In Review\"\n  pr_merged: \"Done\"\n  pr_closed_unmerged: \"Cancelled\"\n  pr_review_requested: \"In Review\"\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                When a PR is merged:<\/p>\n
                @openclaw a PR was merged for ENG-341, update Linear accordingly\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                OpenClaw moves the Linear issue to Done, adds the PR merge link as a comment, and closes any related sub-issues.<\/p>\n
                The Daily Standup Digest<\/h2>\n
                This is the highest-value, lowest-effort automation for Linear users.<\/p>\n
                Setup<\/h3>\n
                @openclaw every weekday at 8:45am, generate my standup digest\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                OpenClaw fetches:<\/p>\n

                  OpenClaw groups the digest by assignee, giving you a per-person view across the team. Each person’s section shows what they completed, what they’re working on, and what’s blocked.<\/p>\n
                  Sprint Planning Automation<\/h2>\n
                  Capacity Planning<\/h3>\n
                  @openclaw how much capacity does the Engineering team have for the next cycle?\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                  OpenClaw:<\/p>\n

                  2. Fetches team members’ current issue load<\/li>\n
                  3. Calculates available capacity for the next cycle based on historical velocity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    This is useful as a sanity check before committing to a sprint.<\/p>\n

                      Velocity Reporting<\/h3>\n
                      @openclaw what's the Engineering team's velocity for the last 4 cycles?\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      query {\n  cycles(\n    filter: { team: { key: { eq: \"ENG\" } } }\n    orderBy: createdAt\n    last: 4\n  ) {\n    nodes {\n      number\n      startsAt\n      endsAt\n      completedAt\n      issues {\n        nodes {\n          estimate\n          state { type }\n        }\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      OpenClaw calculates points completed per cycle and surfaces the trend.<\/p>\n
                      Roadmap and Project Tracking<\/h2>\n
                      Project Status Summary<\/h3>\n
                      @openclaw summarize the status of the \"Mobile Redesign\" project\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      OpenClaw fetches the project and its issues, calculates completion percentage, identifies blockers, and highlights overdue items.<\/p>\n
                      Cross-Team Dependencies<\/h3>\n
                      @openclaw find issues in the Mobile project that are blocked on Backend team issues\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      OpenClaw searches for issues with “blocked” labels or comments mentioning blockers, cross-references with other teams’ issue lists, and surfaces dependency chains.<\/p>\n
                      Webhooks vs. Polling: A Practical Note<\/h2>\n
                      Linear supports webhooks for real-time events. For automations that need to react immediately (like auto-triaging new issues the moment they’re created), webhooks are better than polling.<\/p>\n
                      Setting up Linear webhooks:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      In Linear: Settings \u2192 API \u2192 Webhooks \u2192 Create webhook<\/p>\n
                      Point it to your OpenClaw server’s webhook endpoint. Linear sends events for issue creation, updates, state changes, and comment additions.<\/p>\n
                      The polling alternative:<\/strong> For most personal use, polling every 5-15 minutes is good enough. The standup digest doesn’t need real-time data. Triage can run on a 15-minute polling cycle without meaningful delay. Only automated workflows that need to react within seconds (like auto-assigning urgent issues) need webhooks.<\/p>\n
                      PaioClaw handles webhook receipt and routing without requiring you to expose a public endpoint \u2014 it manages the webhook receiver and forwards events to your OpenClaw instance.<\/p>\n
                      Common Linear API Patterns<\/h2>\n
                      Get team ID by key:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      query { team(key: \"ENG\") { id name } }\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      Get states for a team:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      query { team(key: \"ENG\") { states { nodes { id name type } } } }\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      Create an issue:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      mutation {\n  issueCreate(input: {\n    teamId: \"team-id\"\n    title: \"Issue title\"\n    description: \"Description in markdown\"\n    priority: 2\n    labelIds: [\"label-id\"]\n  }) {\n    issue { id identifier title }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      Update issue state:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      mutation {\n  issueUpdate(id: \"issue-id\", input: { stateId: \"state-id\" }) {\n    issue { id state { name } }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      Add comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      mutation {\n  commentCreate(input: {\n    issueId: \"issue-id\"\n    body: \"Comment in markdown\"\n  }) {\n    comment { id }\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
                      Error Handling<\/h2>\n

                      PaioClaw vs. Self-Hosted<\/h2>\n
                      The Linear API is one of the cleanest to work with. Self-hosting the integration is genuinely viable.<\/p>\n
                      Where PaioClaw adds value:<\/p>\n
                      Webhook management:<\/strong> Receiving webhooks requires a public HTTPS endpoint. PaioClaw provides this, so you get real-time triage without running a server.<\/p>\n
                      Cross-tool workflows:<\/strong> The standup digest is more useful if it combines Linear data with GitHub PR status, Slack messages, and calendar events. PaioClaw orchestrates cross-tool workflows without custom code.<\/p>\n
                      Team sharing:<\/strong> If multiple team members want to run standup digests and triage automations, PaioClaw handles multi-user API key management. Self-hosting requires each person to configure their own instance.<\/p>\n
                      PaioClaw starts free, with Smart at $15\/mo and Genius at $25\/mo.<\/p>\n
                      Summary<\/h2>\n
                      Linear’s GraphQL API is clean, well-documented, and consistent. The main gotchas: state names are team-specific (always fetch them rather than assuming), priority is an integer (not a string), and the branch naming convention (TEAM-123<\/code> in branch names) is the simplest path to auto-linking PRs.<\/p>\n
                      The two highest-value automations are label-based triage (saves 20-30 minutes of manual triage per week) and the daily standup digest (saves 10 minutes every morning). Set those up first.
