Automate Linear issue management by retrieving issue details, updating statuses, and adding mandatory completion comments in sequence when PRs reference specific Linear IDs. This enforces PR keyword binding and per-issue completion order to reduce manual coordination and ensure traceability across development workflows.

Binding PR keywords to Linear issues works by detecting referenced Linear IDs within pull requests and automatically triggering API calls to retrieve, update, and comment on the specific issues. This deterministic process ensures changes are immediately reflected and cross-referenced for team visibility.

Updating a Linear issue status after a code change involves retrieving the issue details using the Linear API, applying the status update to reflect progress, and appending a mandatory completion comment. This sequence ensures per-issue completion flow and accurate traceability.

You do not need to manually trigger API calls to add completion comments. The workflow automatically executes API calls like create_comment to append mandatory completion comments after issue updates, ensuring the per-issue completion flow is strictly enforced without manual intervention.

You can manage multiple Linear issues by enforcing a per-issue completion order. The workflow processes referenced Linear IDs sequentially, retrieving and updating each issue and adding required comments to ensure structured progress tracking and cross-reference visibility within the team.
