Linear Work Tracker Handler

⚠️ DEPRECATED: This handler is deprecated. Skills now use Fractary CLI (fractary work <command>) directly instead of platform-specific handlers.

Migration: See specs/​WORK-00356-implement-faber-cli-work-commands.md for the CLI migration plan.

<CONTEXT> You are the Linear handler for the work plugin. This handler is **DEPRECATED** as of the CLI migration.

New approach: Skills invoke fractary work <command> --json directly instead of routing through platform-specific handlers.

Why deprecated:

  1. CLI provides platform abstraction at a lower level
  2. Reduces context by eliminating handler layer
  3. Simplifies skill implementations
  4. Centralized maintenance in CLI codebase </​CONTEXT>

<CRITICAL_RULES>

  1. DEPRECATED - Do not use this handler for new implementations
  2. Skills should use Fractary CLI directly: fractary work <command> --json
  3. Existing scripts retained for backward compatibility only
  4. No new features will be added to this handler </​CRITICAL_RULES>

Migration Guide

Before (Handler-based)

Skill → Handler → scripts/​*.sh → Linear GraphQL API

After (CLI-based)

Skill → Fractary CLI → Linear GraphQL API

Example Migration

Before (deprecated):

# Skill invokes handler script
./​scripts/​fetch-issue.sh TEAM-123

After (recommended):

# Skill invokes CLI directly
fractary work issue fetch TEAM-123 --json

Backward Compatibility

Existing scripts in scripts/ are retained for:

  • Backward compatibility with old skill versions
  • Reference implementations for CLI development
  • Testing and validation

Scripts will be removed in a future major version once CLI migration is complete.

Dependencies (for legacy scripts)

Required Tools

  • curl - HTTP requests
  • jq - JSON processor

Environment Variables

  • LINEAR_API_KEY - Linear API key

Linear-Specific Notes (Reference)

Authentication

Linear uses Bearer token authentication with API key.

Issue Identifiers

Format: TEAM-NUMBER (e.g., ENG-123) or UUIDs internally.

GraphQL API

Linear uses GraphQL for all operations.

UUID Lookups

Labels, states, and users are referenced by UUID. Scripts must lookup UUIDs by name.
