FAQPage Schema

How do I create Linear issues with priorities and team assignments?▼

To create Linear issues, you specify a title, priority level (e.g., P0 or P1), and assign it to a target team. This Skill uses GraphQL mutations to generate new issues and streamline engineering triage directly.

Can I track sprint progress and team velocity in Linear?▼

Yes, you can track sprint progress by listing issues within the current cycle or backlog and monitoring team velocity. The Skill retrieves cycle data through GraphQL queries to provide visibility into ongoing sprint status.

How do I move Linear issues through workflow states like In Progress or In Review?▼

You can manage engineering workflows by moving Linear issues through different states like To Do, In Progress, and In Review. This allows teams to update issue statuses and accurately reflect the current development cycle.

Do I need an API key to manage Linear issues and sprints?▼

Yes, you need a LINEAR_API_KEY environment variable for authentication. This API key is required to authorize GraphQL queries and mutations used for creating, assigning, and retrieving your engineering work.

What is the best way to automate engineering triage for Linear tasks?▼

Automating engineering triage involves using GraphQL mutations to create issues with specific priorities and team assignments. This approach allows you to quickly log and categorize incoming engineering work in Linear.
