Linear Lens

Linear in VS Code and Cursor. Browse Issues, Projects, Initiatives, and Reviews in the sidebar, then open Issue Detail, Project Detail, and Kanban/List boards without leaving the IDE.

Marketplace id: arkitect.linearlens

Features

• Sidebar: Issues (filterable), Projects, Initiatives, Reviews
• Issue Detail: edit title, description, status, priority, assignee, labels; comment; open sub-issues
• Project Detail: overview, milestones, recent issues, editable description
• Project boards: Kanban + List, drag-and-drop status, filters, phase swimlanes
• Auth: Personal API key for the sidebar and panels (required). OAuth provider id linearlens is registered for a future Accounts-menu flow.

Requirements

• VS Code / Cursor with engine 1.96.0 or later
• A Linear Personal API key (Settings → Account → Security & Access)

Getting started

1. Install Linear Lens from the marketplace (or a .vsix).
2. Open the Linear activity bar icon.
3. Run Linear: Set API Key and paste your key.
4. Click an issue or project to open panels; use Linear: Open Project Board or the project context menu for Kanban/List.

OAuth (deferred)

Accounts-menu OAuth is not configured for 1.0.0. When added later:

• Provider id: linearlens
• Redirects: vscode://arkitect.linearlens/callback and cursor://arkitect.linearlens/callback
• Requires your own Linear OAuth app + OAUTH_CLIENT_ID in src/oauth/linearOAuth.ts

Safe to install alongside official linear.linear-connect; provider ids differ (linearlens vs linear).
