Linear templates were invisible from the CLI: `issue create` could only apply the team's default template, and there was no way to see which templates exist, what one pre-fills, or to pick one for a project. The MCP server exposes list_templates, get_template, and a template parameter on save_issue/save_project; this mirrors that surface. `template list` fetches the workspace-wide `templates` list and filters client-side by `--type` (issue, project, document) and `--team` (that team's templates plus workspace-level ones, resolved through the shared team lookup). `template view <name|id>` prints the metadata and every key of `templateData`, rendering the ProseMirror body Linear stores under `descriptionData` as markdown. `--json` on both returns the raw GraphQL objects with `templateData` still a JSON-encoded string. `--template <name|id>` on `issue create` and `project create` resolves the reference against the target type and team(s) and sends `templateId`, so Linear applies the template server-side. Semantics confirmed against the live API and stated in the help text: explicit flags override the template's values, `--label` merges with the template's labels, `--description` replaces the template body (omitting it keeps the body), and `issue create --template` makes `--title` optional. Linear rejects `useDefaultTemplate` together with `templateId`, despite the schema saying `templateId` wins for projects, so `--template` drops the default-template flag; `--no-use-default- template` may still be passed alongside it. A wrong-type or other-team template errors before any mutation; a name shared by several eligible templates errors with their IDs; `template(id:)` is non-null, so a missing UUID is translated from Linear's "No template found" error into the usual not-found error. `DocumentCreateInput` has no `templateId`, so document templates can be listed and viewed but not applied; `document create` is unchanged.
