Connect Linear and Expertise can help you stay on top of engineering work: find issues, check what’s in a cycle, and triage or update tickets on request. Reads happen instantly; anything that creates or changes an issue pauses for your approval first.

​
What you can ask

“What’s the status of ENG-214?”
“Show me open bugs assigned to me in the current cycle.”
“What’s left in the Onboarding project?”
“Create an issue for the flaky login test and assign it to Sam.” (asks for approval first)
“Move ENG-190 to In Progress.” (asks for approval first)

​
Connecting

  1. Open Connections in the dashboard and click Linear → Connect.
  2. Sign in to your Linear account and approve the requested access.
  3. Ask Expertise about an issue or cycle to confirm it’s live.

​
What’s covered

Expertise picks the right Linear action for what you ask, no need to know team keys or workflow states. Typical requests cover:
  • Finding and filtering issues by team, project, cycle, assignee, or status
  • Reading issue detail, comments, and history
  • Creating issues and updating status, priority, or assignee
Anything that creates or changes an issue pauses for your approval first, showing exactly what’s about to change before it’s saved.

​
Good to know

  • Ask by name. Expertise resolves team and project names for you, no need to know Linear’s internal identifiers.
  • Workflow states are team-specific. Linear lets each team define its own status names; if a state can’t be resolved with confidence, Expertise asks instead of guessing.
  • Every create or update pauses for your approval with the exact fields about to be set.
