FAQPage Schema

How do I automate Linear Work Unit execution with TDD?▼

Automate Linear Work Unit execution with TDD by applying a structured workflow that validates issues, writes Gherkin tests, implements code, verifies deterministically, and updates Linear via MCP server.

What is the workflow for executing a Linear issue using test-driven development?▼

The workflow for executing a Linear issue using TDD follows a stepwise process: validate the issue, write tests, implement code, verify behavior, and update documentation and Linear issue states.

Do I need the Linear MCP server to run TDD-based issue management?▼

Yes, you need the Linear MCP server to run TDD-based issue management, as it provides the mcp__linear-server__* tools required for issue state transitions and evidence collection.

How do I track progress and decisions when completing Linear Work Units?▼

Track progress and decisions when completing Linear Work Units by capturing learnings and evidence directly through Linear comments and issue updates, keeping repository documentation minimal.

Can I use Gherkin specifications to verify Linear Work Unit outcomes?▼

Yes, you can use Gherkin specifications to verify Linear Work Unit outcomes, as the workflow applies Gherkin-based specifications to drive deterministic validation and traceable decisions.
