What this agent helps you do
A Linear and GitHub issue-to-PR agent keeps product planning connected to code execution. Linear supplies issue scope, priority, project status, labels, cycles, and owner context, while GitHub supplies pull requests, commits, reviews, checks, and release activity.
When to use this workflow
Use it for sprint reviews, triage, release readiness, blocked issues, or engineering handoffs where the ticket and code need to agree.
How Linear and GitHub give the agent context
Connect both plugins and provide a Linear issue, project, or cycle. Linear should define intended scope; GitHub should show what is actually happening in code. Keep status changes, comments, and PR actions approval-based.
Example starter prompt
Inspect these Linear issues, find related GitHub pull requests and commits, and prepare an implementation handoff with scope alignment, review status, missing tests, blockers, and recommended Linear updates.Suggested workflow steps
Start with the Linear issue or project scope. Have the agent find linked or likely related GitHub activity, compare the diff with requirements, check CI and review status, and identify whether any work lacks a ticket.
Expected handoff
Ask for requirements, affected code areas, related PRs, missing tests, blockers, release risk, and approval-ready Linear updates.
