Create and configure a Linear agent app so the assistant can manage issues, projects, and workflows under its own identity.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Overview

Set up a **Linear agent app** so the assistant operates under its own identity in a Linear workspace — creating issues, commenting, updating status, etc. as itself.

Linear agent apps act as their own entity in the workspace. They're free (don't count as billable users), can be @mentioned, and can be delegated issues.

**Total manual effort: ~3 interactions** — create the app, grab the API key, (optionally) upload an avatar.

## Prerequisites

- User must be a **workspace admin** in Linear
- User must be logged into Linear in their browser

## Setup Flow

### Step 1: Create the Application

Direct the user to create a new application:

> Open **https://linear.app/settings/api/applications/new** to create a new application.

Guide them through the form:

| Field                | Value                                                                        |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Application name** | The assistant's name. This is how the agent appears in mentions and filters. |
| **Developer name**   | The user's name or org name                                                  |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/linear-app-setup@sha256:2725bd2ed5b04a34

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.5cc360c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
