What This Skill Does

The linear-browser-automation skill enables OpenClaw to directly interact with the Linear.app interface through a managed, authenticated browser session. Unlike API-based integrations that might lack complex UI-specific functionality, this skill uses browser automation (via openclaw profile) to perform actions exactly as a human user would. This is ideal for triaging issues, updating status, leaving comments, or performing bulk modifications while ensuring that the visual context of the Linear workspace is preserved.

Installation

You can install this skill directly via the OpenClaw CLI using the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hassam-powerhouse/lba Once installed, ensure the openclaw browser profile is configured in your system environment to allow the agent to manage persistent sessions for your Linear account.

Use Cases

• Triage Automation: Quickly process an overflowing inbox by moving issues to designated states based on your criteria.
• Bulk Updates: Perform repetitive tasks like changing priorities or assigning labels across multiple issues that may not be easily exposed via standard REST APIs.
• Feedback Loops: Automate the process of adding comments or closing issues after PR deployments, ensuring all documentation is up to date.
• Visual Verification: Confirm that your UI changes or issue states are rendered correctly in the browser before final submission.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a new bug issue in the Frontend team titled 'Login page failing on Safari' and ask me for the description."
2. "Find issue POW-123 in the Platform team, change its status to 'In Progress', and add a comment saying 'Investigating the root cause now'."
3. "Move all tickets currently in my Triage backlog to 'Todo' and assign them to the current sprint."

Tips & Limitations

• Session Persistence: The skill is designed to reuse existing authenticated tabs. If you find the agent unable to interact, check if your browser profile is logged into Linear. The agent will prompt you to login if it detects a redirect to the login page.
• Required Inputs: Always provide the Team name and Issue identifier (e.g., POW-123). Without these, the agent will stop and request clarification to ensure accuracy.
• Safety First: The skill enforces a mandatory confirmation step for creating new issues. Always review the summary provided by the agent before typing 'yes' to proceed with submissions.
