+## Python helper script (ergonomic alternative)
+
+For faster one-liners that don't need hand-written GraphQL, this skill ships a stdlib Python CLI at `scripts/linear_api.py`. Zero dependencies. Same auth (reads `LINEAR_API_KEY`).

+python3 "$SCRIPT" list-teams

+
+Use the script when: you want a quick answer without crafting GraphQL. Use curl when: you need a query the script doesn't wrap, or you want to compose filters inline.

+## Documents
+
+Linear **Documents** are prose docs (RFCs, specs, notes) stored alongside issues. They have their own `documents` root query and `document(id:)` single-fetch.
+
+### Document URLs and `slugId`
+
+Document URLs look like:
+```
+https://linear.app/<workspace>/document/<slug>-<hexSlugId>
+```
+
+The trailing hex segment is the `slugId`. Example: `https://linear.app/nousresearch/document/rfc-hermes-permission-gateway-discord-38359beef67c` → `slugId` is `38359beef67c`.
+
+**Important schema detail:** the Markdown body is in the `content` field. The ProseMirror JSON is in `contentState` (not `contentData` — that field does not exist and the API returns 400).
+
+### Fetch a document by slugId
+
+`document(id:)` only accepts UUIDs. To fetch by the URL's hex slug, filter the collection:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "query($s: String!) { documents(filter: { slugId: { eq: $s } }, first: 1) { nodes { id title content contentState slugId url creator { name } project { name } updatedAt } } }", "variables": {"s": "38359beef67c"}}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+Or via the Python helper:
+```bash
+python3 scripts/linear_api.py get-document 38359beef67c
+```
+
+### Fetch a document by UUID
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ document(id: \"11700cff-b514-4db3-afcc-3ed1afacba1c\") { title content url } }"}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+### List recent documents
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ documents(first: 25, orderBy: updatedAt) { nodes { id title slugId url updatedAt project { name } } } }"}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+### Search documents by title
+
+Linear's schema has no `searchDocuments` root. Use a title-substring filter instead:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ documents(filter: { title: { containsIgnoreCase: \"RFC\" } }, first: 25) { nodes { title slugId url } } }"}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```

+## Python helper script (ergonomic alternative)
+
+For faster one-liners that don't need hand-written GraphQL, this skill ships a stdlib Python CLI at `scripts/linear_api.py`. Zero dependencies. Same auth (reads `LINEAR_API_KEY`).
+
+```bash
+SCRIPT=$(dirname "$(find ~/.hermes -path '*skills/productivity/linear/scripts/linear_api.py' 2>/dev/null | head -1)")/linear_api.py
+
+python3 "$SCRIPT" whoami
+python3 "$SCRIPT" list-teams
+python3 "$SCRIPT" get-issue ENG-42
+python3 "$SCRIPT" get-document 38359beef67c      # fetch a doc by slugId from the URL
+python3 "$SCRIPT" raw 'query { viewer { name } }'
+```
+
+All subcommands: `whoami`, `list-teams`, `list-projects`, `list-states`, `list-issues`, `get-issue`, `search-issues`, `create-issue`, `update-issue`, `update-status`, `add-comment`, `list-documents`, `get-document`, `search-documents`, `raw`. Run with `--help` for flags.
+
+Use the script when: you want a quick answer without crafting GraphQL. Use curl when: you need a query the script doesn't wrap, or you want to compose filters inline.

+## Documents
+
+Linear **Documents** are prose docs (RFCs, specs, notes) stored alongside issues. They have their own `documents` root query and `document(id:)` single-fetch.
+
+### Document URLs and `slugId`
+
+Document URLs look like:
+```
+https://linear.app/<workspace>/document/<slug>-<hexSlugId>
+```
+
+The trailing hex segment is the `slugId`. Example: `https://linear.app/nousresearch/document/rfc-hermes-permission-gateway-discord-38359beef67c` → `slugId` is `38359beef67c`.
+
+**Important schema detail:** the Markdown body is in the `content` field. The ProseMirror JSON is in `contentState` (not `contentData` — that field does not exist and the API returns 400).
+
+### Fetch a document by slugId
+
+`document(id:)` only accepts UUIDs. To fetch by the URL's hex slug, filter the collection:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "query($s: String!) { documents(filter: { slugId: { eq: $s } }, first: 1) { nodes { id title content contentState slugId url creator { name } project { name } updatedAt } } }", "variables": {"s": "38359beef67c"}}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+Or via the Python helper:
+```bash
+python3 scripts/linear_api.py get-document 38359beef67c
+```
+
+### Fetch a document by UUID
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ document(id: \"11700cff-b514-4db3-afcc-3ed1afacba1c\") { title content url } }"}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+### List recent documents
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ documents(first: 25, orderBy: updatedAt) { nodes { id title slugId url updatedAt project { name } } } }"}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+### Search documents by title
+
+Linear's schema has no `searchDocuments` root. Use a title-substring filter instead:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ documents(filter: { title: { containsIgnoreCase: \"RFC\" } }, first: 25) { nodes { title slugId url } } }"}' \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
