FAQPage Schema
How do I import issues from GitHub and Linear into a unified backlog?

To import issues from GitHub and Linear into a unified backlog, this Skill normalizes external tracker fields, deduplicates entries, and merges data into AGENT_BACKLOG.md and .claude/state/backlog.json. It standardizes cross-platform issue tracking automatically.

What is issue normalization and deduplication in backlog management?

Issue normalization and deduplication in backlog management standardizes varying external issue fields into a canonical schema while checking against existing entries to prevent duplicates. This ensures consistent data synchronization across platforms.

Can I automatically assign imported issues to specific teams?

Yes, you can automatically assign imported issues to specific teams. The Skill applies predefined routing rules during the import process to triage and route entries to the correct teams within your central backlog.

Do I need to configure an auto import flag for GitHub issue synchronization?

Yes, GitHub issue synchronization requires the process.intake.autoImport flag to be enabled. You can also force execution manually to override the gating flag and import open issues on demand.

What's the best way to sync external bugs into a central tracking system?

The best way to sync external bugs into a central tracking system is using automated data synchronization that merges normalized issues into a canonical backlog schema. This reduces manual data entry and ensures consistency across GitHub and Linear.
