FAQ

Questions about GitHub + Linear.

How does GitHub + Linear sync work?

Linear has first-party GitHub integration that handles much of this. The Tiny Command pair extends it: AI-PR summaries, custom transitions based on labels, multi-issue PR splitting, and more.

How do I auto-move a Linear issue to "In Review" when a GitHub PR opens?

GitHub PR Opened → parse Linear identifier from PR title or branch (e.g., "ENG-123") → Linear Update Issue to state "In Review". Standardizes the engineering flow.

Can I auto-close a Linear issue on GitHub PR merge?

Yes. GitHub PR Merged → Linear Update Issue to state "Done". The Linear native integration does this if the PR mentions the issue (e.g., "Closes ENG-123"); the workflow handles cases where it doesn't.

How do I AI-summarize a GitHub PR into a Linear comment?

GitHub PR Merged → fetch diff → Claude/OpenAI summarize ("explain this change in plain English for a non-engineer") → Linear Create Comment on the linked issue. PMs and stakeholders read the comment, not the code.

Can I assign GitHub reviewers based on Linear team?

Yes. GitHub PR Opened → look up Linear issue by identifier → read the team → assign code review to the matching GitHub team based on a (linear_team → github_team) lookup.

How do I handle PRs that touch multiple Linear issues?

Allow multiple Linear identifiers in the PR title (e.g., "ENG-123, ENG-124"). The workflow parses all of them and fires Update Issue for each. Or split into separate PRs for cleaner tracking.
