Linear

With the Linear source, the agent reads the Linear issues and projects you mention to know what to build and how. You write “do issue ENG-42”, it reads the description, criteria and comments, then implements it in your app.

Highwind asks Linear for read-only access: the agent can’t create, edit or close an issue.

What the agent can read

• Issues: title, description, status, labels, acceptance criteria written in the description.
• Comments on an issue, to pick up the decisions made in the discussion.
• Projects: their description and criteria.
• Search: it can find an issue by its identifier (ENG-42) or by keywords.

It reads while answering, only when your request calls for it, never otherwise.

Connect Linear

1. Open the Connectors page from the sidebar.
2. Find the Linear card (Context for the agent category, Used by → The agent filter) and open its details.
3. Click Connect. A Linear window opens.
4. Sign in to Linear if needed, choose the workspace and authorize Highwind (read access).
5. The window closes and the card shows Connected.

Example requests

Mention the issue identifier, its title or the project’s name. The @Linear mention (+ menu → Connectors) makes it clear the agent should look at Linear.

@Linear Do issue ENG-42.

Read issue ENG-57 and its comments, then fix the sign-up form following what was decided.

Implement the issues of the Linear project "Dashboard redesign" that concern the Statistics page, one at a time.

Read issue DES-12 and tell me what's unclear before starting.

The last request is ideal in Discussion mode: the agent reads the issue, asks its questions or proposes a plan, without changing your app.

One issue at a time

For several issues, go step by step: one issue per message, checked in the preview before moving on. Each answer creates a version you can restore, and a shorter request costs fewer credits.

Limits

• Read-only: the access requested from Linear is read-only, and the agent only gets read tools. Remember to update the issue’s status yourself in Linear.
• What your account sees: the agent has no more rights than your Linear account.
• Long comment threads: what the agent receives from a single call is capped (about 20,000 characters).

Disconnect or reconnect

• Disconnect: Connectors page → Linear details → Disconnect. Highwind revokes its access at Linear when possible and erases its tokens.
• Reconnect: if access has expired or was removed, the agent tells you. Open the Linear details and connect it again.
