FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize Linear issues and codebase tasks for my next sprint?

Sprint planning recommendations are generated by analyzing Linear issues, existing tasks, codebase state, and product vision gaps. The system applies a priority cascade across these signals to surface the most impactful next steps, delivering 3-5 ranked actions with clear rationale and exact execution commands.

What is the best way to get actionable next-step recommendations for software development?

The best way to get actionable next-step recommendations is to synthesize codebase debt, Linear issues, and vision gaps into a structured plan. This provides 3-5 ranked, opinionated actions with exact commands, helping you decide precisely what to build or fix next without manual triage.

Can I research market trends and new feature ideas during sprint planning?

Yes, you can research market trends and new feature ideas during sprint planning using discovery mode. This optional feature analyzes external market trends to propose entirely new feature ideas, which are then output as a structured plan that can be pasted directly into ideation workflows.

Does sprint prioritization work with Linear issues and codebase debt signals?

Yes, sprint prioritization works by running a priority cascade across Linear issues, codebase debt, and product vision signals. It synthesizes these combined inputs to generate ranked, actionable guidance tailored to your specific software development project context.

How to decide what to code next when managing tasks and product vision gaps?

To decide what to code next, analyze product vision gaps alongside Linear issues and codebase debt to generate opinionated recommendations. This synthesis outputs 3-5 ranked actions with exact commands, providing a structured plan that bridges the gap between daily tasks and long-term vision.
