## Setup Requires `LINEAR_API_KEY` environment variable: ```bash export LINEAR_API_KEY="lin_api_..." ``` ## Commands ### Create an Issue ```bash linearite create "Issue title" --team-id <TEAM_ID> [--description "..."] [--project-id <PROJECT_ID>] ``` Short flags: `-t` (team), `-d` (description), `-p` (project) Output includes the issue URL and suggested git branch name. ### Discovery ```bash linearite list-teams # Get team IDs linearite list-projects # Get project IDs ``` ### Velocity Rankings ```bash linearite rank-teams [--since 14d] [--top 10] linearite rank-users [--since 14d] [--top 10] ``` `--since` accepts: `7d`, `30d`, `2025-01-01`, or ISO 8601 dates. ## Workflows ### Quick Issue Creation 1. Find the team ID: `linearite list-teams` 2. Create: `linearite create "Fix auth bug" -t <TEAM_ID> -d "Users getting logged out after 5 minutes"` ### Sprint Velocity Check ```bash linearite rank-users --since 14d --top 5 ``` ### Assign to Project ```bash linearite list-projects linearite create "New feature" -t <TEAM_ID> -p <PROJECT_ID> ``` ## Notes - Only completed issues with estimates count toward velocity rankings - Branch names are auto-generated by Linear, not this CLI - All commands require valid API key in environment
