Linear Autopilot

🔒 Security Note: This skill mentions API keys, tokens, and webhook URLs because it teaches you how to set up integrations with Linear, Discord, and automation services (Make.com, Pipedream, Zapier). These are necessary for the tutorial — the skill does NOT collect or transmit your credentials. All setup happens on your local machine and the services you configure.

Automated pipeline: Linear → Webhook Service → Discord → Clawdbot → Git

Tasks created in Linear automatically trigger Clawdbot processing with real-time notifications and git sync for Obsidian/local access.

Free Tier Limitations

Before setup, be aware of free plan limits:

Important notes:

• Make.com offers 1,000 ops/month free — our recommendation for free tier users
• Pipedream has instant webhooks but limited free credits that deplete quickly
• Zapier free plan does NOT support webhooks. You need a paid Zapier plan (Starter+)
• For budget-conscious users: use Make.com

Setup

1. Configure Linear API

Run setup to store your Linear API key:

mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot
echo "LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_xxxxx" > ~/.clawdbot/linear.env

Get your API key from: Linear → Settings → API → Personal API keys

2. Get Linear IDs

Find your team and state IDs:

./scripts/linear-api.sh teams    # Get team ID
./scripts/linear-api.sh states   # Get state IDs (Todo, In Progress, Done)

Update ~/.clawdbot/linear-config.json:

{
  "teamId": "your-team-id",
  "states": {
    "todo": "state-id-for-todo",
    "inProgress": "state-id-for-in-progress",
    "done": "state-id-for-done"
  },
  "discord": {
    "notifyUserId": "your-discord-user-id",
    "taskChannelId": "your-linear-tasks-channel-id"
  },
  "git": {
    "autoPush": true,
    "commitPrefix": "task:"
  }
}

3. Set Up Webhook Service

Choose your preferred automation platform:

Option A: Make.com (Recommended for free tier)

• 1,000 operations/month free
• 15-minute minimum interval on free tier
• See references/make-setup.md for step-by-step guide

Quick setup:

1. Create scenario at make.com
2. Add Linear "Watch Issues" trigger
3. Add filter: state.name = "Todo"
4. Add Discord webhook action
5. Activate scenario

Option B: Pipedream (If you need instant triggers)

• Instant webhook triggers
• Limited free credits (deplete fast)
• See references/pipedream-setup.md for step-by-step guide

Quick setup:

1. Create workflow at pipedream.com with HTTP webhook trigger
2. Add Linear webhook pointing to your Pipedream URL
3. Add Discord "Send Message" step with Clawdbot bot token
4. Message template:

   <@BOT_ID>
   📋 New task: {{steps.trigger.event.data.title}}
     Status: {{steps.trigger.event.data.state.name}}
     ID: {{steps.trigger.event.data.identifier}}

Option B: Zapier (If you have a paid account)

• 100 tasks/month on free (very limited)
• Native Linear + Discord integrations
• See references/zapier-setup.md for step-by-step guide

Quick setup:

1. Create Zap: Linear (New Issue) → Discord (Send Channel Message)
2. Use webhook or bot integration for Discord
3. Map Linear fields to message template

4. Configure Discord Channel

Ensure Clawdbot listens to your task channel. In clawdbot.json:

{
  "channels": {
    "discord": {
      "guilds": {
        "YOUR_GUILD_ID": {
          "channels": {
            "YOUR_TASK_CHANNEL_ID": {
              "allow": true,
              "requireMention": false
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Task Processing Workflow

When a task arrives in the Discord channel:

1. Acknowledge

• Reply in channel confirming receipt

2. Notify User via DM

Use message tool:
- action: send
- target: [user ID from config]
- message: "📋 New task: [ID] - [title]. Starting now..."

3. Process Task

• Update Linear status → "In Progress" via ./scripts/linear-api.sh start [task-id]
• Execute the task (spawn sub-agent if complex)
• Save outputs to appropriate location (research/, content/, etc.)

4. Complete

• Update Linear status → "Done" via ./scripts/linear-api.sh done [task-id]
• Add comment with results via ./scripts/linear-api.sh comment [task-id] "[summary]"
• Send completion DM to user

5. Git Sync (if enabled)

git add [output files]
git commit -m "task: [ID] - [title]"
git push

Script Reference

scripts/linear-api.sh commands:

Example Task Types

This workflow handles any task type:

• Research: Spawn sub-agent, save to research/[topic].md
• Content creation: Generate drafts, save to content/
• Code tasks: Write/modify code, commit changes
• Data processing: Run scripts, output results
• Custom: Define your own output patterns

Troubleshooting

Tasks not triggering?

• Check Pipedream workflow is enabled
• Verify Discord channel is in Clawdbot config
• Ensure allowBots: true if using webhook

Linear API errors?

• Verify API key in ~/.clawdbot/linear.env
• Check team/state IDs are correct

Git push failing?

• Ensure git remote is configured
• Check SSH key or credentials
