Synchronize work across these three systems by linking Beans tasks to Linear tickets and TodoWrite items, then mirroring updates bidirectionally as progress advances. This maintains a complete audit trail across all platforms while keeping each system's role distinct: Beans for agent memory, Linear for human planning, TodoWrite for live progress tracking.

Escalate discovered work to Linear when scope expands, architectural decisions emerge, or security concerns arise. Use TodoWrite and Beans for live work and agent-recorded tasks, then promote to Linear tickets when human review, formal planning, or cross-team visibility becomes necessary.

Yes. Create and link beans with TodoWrite items, maintain bidirectional references to Linear epics, and enforce commit hygiene across all three systems. This tri-system approach gives you persistent agent memory, user-visible progress, and human-facing project planning in one coordinated workflow.

Record discovered tasks in Beans first, create matching TodoWrite items for live progress, then link to Linear tickets if formal scope or human decisions are needed. This escalation path ensures nothing is lost while keeping each system focused on its audience and persistence requirement.

All three serve different needs: Beans provides persistent agent memory for context recovery, TodoWrite tracks live work with visible progress, and Linear handles human-facing planning and decisions. Using all three gives you an auditable, complete view; omitting any creates blind spots in either memory, visibility, or planning.
