    FAQ

    Questions about Anthropic + Linear.

    How does Claude triage new Linear issues?
    Linear Issue Created → Claude reads title + description → returns team, project, priority, estimate, and labels. Workflow applies via Update Issue and adds a "triaged-by-ai" label so humans know what touched it.
    Can Claude write technical specs from a Linear issue?
    Yes. Prompt: "Expand this issue into a technical spec with problem statement, proposed approach, alternatives considered, and rollout plan". Save as a Linear document attached to the issue, ready for engineer review.
    How do I detect Linear issues that depend on other issues?
    On Issue Created, search the project for similar issues, pass them to Claude with "identify dependencies — issues that block or are blocked by this new one". Apply relationships via Linear's Issue Relations API.
    Can Claude generate a weekly Linear status update?
    Yes. Scheduled Friday afternoon: list closed and in-progress issues for the team this week, pass to Claude with "write a weekly engineering update for stakeholders, group by project, highlight risks". Email to the team and slack ##all-eng.
    How do I prevent Claude from changing fields a human already set?
    Skip triage if the issue already has the "triaged-by-ai" or "triaged-by-human" label. Or only run on issues created from external sources (Intercom, Slack, support widget) where no human has touched them yet.
    What's the right Claude model for Linear automation?
    Haiku for triage and label suggestions (fast, cheap). Sonnet for spec writing and status updates (the default). Opus only for long-context analyses across many issues — usually overkill for per-issue workflows.
