Linear

Connect Claude Code to your Linear workspace to create, update, and move issues without leaving your editor. The plugin authenticates with Linear, reads your teams and projects, sends new issues with titles, descriptions, labels, assignees, and estimates, and updates existing issues' state and fields. It also pulls issue details and comments so you can reference tickets while coding.

You can search across workspaces, filter by sprint, label, or assignee, and open the matching issue in a single command. It watches for status changes you request and runs transitions on the board (e.g., "move to In Progress" or "archive"), and it records links to commits or PRs you paste into an issue.

It uses the linear-cli pattern on GitHub to map local commands to API calls, so permissions and rate limits behave like the official client. The plugin handles pagination, resolves user names, and surfaces API errors with actionable messages you can copy into a console for debugging.

In practice, you can run a code review and update the ticket state, add the merge link, and assign follow-ups without switching to the Linear web app. That saves time when fixing multiple small bugs during a bug bash or when triaging crash reports during a sprint—no tab switching, fewer context losses.
