SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Linear issue management breaks down when PRs are created without a complete, human-readable update in Linear, leaving teammates with no context and causing status fragmentation across systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PR-to-Issue Auto-Linking: Use Linear’s magic keywords in the PR body (Fixes/Closes/Resolves) so merges reliably connect back to the correct LOBE-xxx issue.
  • Completion Comments for Human Context: Add a summary comment on the Linear issue so reviewers and teammates understand what changed without reading diffs.
  • Image-Aware Issue Reading: Extract screenshots from issue descriptions to avoid missing crucial visual details.
  • Sub-Issue Tree Planning: Create logical parent-child decomposition with ordering and dependency rules that fit Linear’s tooling limitations.

Quick Start

Retrieve the issue details in Linear, extract any images from the issue description, update the issue to In Progress, and then when your PR is ready include Fixes LOBE-xxx in the PR body and post a completion comment that summarizes the changes.
