linear-cli 0.1.0
First public release of linear-cli — a single-file Linear client for the shell.
Highlights
- Linear for you and your agents. Same queue, same CLI. Type it yourself or hand it to a subagent.
- Zero dependencies. Single ~43 KB Python file. No
pip install, nonpm, nocargo. - Proof-first completion. Close tickets with attachments, links, or text in one call:
linear update GR-42 --done --proof <file|url|text>. - JSON output everywhere.
--jsonon every read command. Pipe tojqor hand to a subagent. - Per-agent lanes. Multiple agents share one Linear team via
--agent <name>filtering.
Install
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phnx-labs/linear-cli/main/install.sh | bash
```
Why a CLI when Linear ships an MCP server?
MCP injects the full tool catalog into every agent turn — burns 13K+ tokens before the agent does anything useful. The CLI returns exactly the bytes you ask for. See the README for the full argument.
Demo
The attached `LinearDemo.mp4` (1080p, 17s, with audio) shows the three core flows: query queue, claim, ship with proof.
