Linear

How it works

How Linear works, drawn only from its official release notes.

1. 01

   What it does

   Creating and updating issues, reading project and team data, and building issue tracking workflows.

2. 02

   Who gets it

   Plan availability per the source: All plans.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Linear working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Linear in this project — creating and updating issues, reading project and team data, and building issue tracking workflows. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Decide whether it fits your project

   Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Linear sits in App Connectors, and not every project needs it.

   I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Linear creating and updating issues, reading project and team data, and building issue tracking workflows, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

   Expected outcome

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

3. 03

   Brief your team on it

   Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.

   Write a short note for my team about Linear in Lovable — creating and updating issues, reading project and team data, and building issue tracking workflows. Under 120 words: what it is, what changes for us, and what we should do about it this week. Plain language, no hype, no bullet padding.

   Expected outcome

   A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
