SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Linear issue backlogs become noisy and time-consuming to review, so important tickets get delayed or misunderstood, causing stalled delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue discovery by flexible filters: List and narrow tickets by status (backlog, todo, in-progress, review, or all), label (bugs, features, adrs), or by project name.
  • Actionable triage output: Summarize issues in a clean table, highlight stale/unassigned high-priority/blocked work, and recommend what to do next.
  • Guided issue management updates: When asked, move or update issue status, priority, labels, and add comments with context while confirming before bulk changes.

Quick Start

Use the command "linear-triage backlog MyProject" to list backlog issues for the specified project and get triage recommendations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I filter and triage Linear backlog issues by project and status?

Filtering and triaging Linear backlog issues involves parsing arguments into status, label, or project filters to narrow down tickets. The tool summarizes issues in a markdown table with quick stats, highlights stale or unassigned high-priority work, and recommends next actions.

What is the best way to identify stale or blocked Linear tickets during a backlog review?

Identifying stale or blocked Linear tickets requires running a backlog review using status and label filters. The triage output highlights stale, unassigned, and high-priority work in a summary table, helping you catch delayed issues and prepare next actions for engineering execution.

Can I use this to update issue status and labels in bulk on Linear?

You can perform guided issue management updates to move or update issue status, priority, and labels in bulk on Linear. The tool ensures all bulk changes are explicitly confirmed before execution, preventing accidental modifications to your backlog.

Do I need the Linear MCP tools to manage and update ticket priorities?

Linear MCP tools are required to execute ticket management updates and apply filters. The tool relies on Linear MCP tools to parse arguments into status, label, or project filters and to ensure updates are confirmed before applying bulk changes.

How do I prepare next actions for engineering execution from a noisy Linear backlog?

Preparing next actions from a noisy Linear backlog requires running a periodic status check with flexible filters to list and narrow tickets. The tool provides actionable triage output, summarizing issues in a clean table and recommending specific next steps for engineering or product execution.
