SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turning a brain dump, bug report, or feature idea into a well-structured Linear issue is time-consuming and often misses key details like type, priority, labels, and a precise milestone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Input parsing and task typing: Detects whether the request is a Bug, Feature, Improvement, Research, Idea, DevOps, or Testing item and structures the task accordingly.
  • Title and description structuring: Produces a clean, action-oriented title (up to 80 characters) and expands the description into a usable format with guidance based on the task type.
  • Smart field suggestions for tracking: Recommends priority, relevant labels, the most likely project (Web App or CLI), and an appropriate milestone based on scope.
  • User confirmation before creation: Shows a preview and asks whether to create or edit the fields, preventing accidental or unclear issues.
  • Duplicate detection workflow: Searches for similar open issues before creating a new one to reduce duplicates and wasted triage time.
