Coding sessions are the shortest path from issue to diff. Assign a task to Linear Agent, and it works in a secure cloud environment to write and test the code before opening a pull request for review. We’re adding more control over how each session runs, from its environment to the models behind it. Adaptive routing Save time and tokens by automatically routing simpler tasks to a faster model whil…
Loops are recurring agent workflows for teams. They now respond to more workspace activity, including changes to initiatives, projects, and cycles. They can also edit Linear documents and post updates to Slack. Teams change project plans all the time. It’s not the change itself that’s hard, but the follow-through: updating docs, creating issues, and keeping everyone informed. That’s where informat…
An active workspace can create a significant amount of notifications each day, and until now your inbox treated them all the same. The new Priority tab separates what needs your attention from what can wait, so something like a review blocking a release never gets buried. Linear selects what appears in Priority by default, with the option to customize it by choosing notification sources or creatin…
Linear Agent can now set up, run, and test your code before returning its work. That means fewer handoffs and changes that are further along when they come back to you. We’re also introducing lower, more transparent pricing, making AI credit usage easier to understand and control. Configurable environments Coding sessions now automatically adapt to each codebase's configuration, with broader out-o…
Initiatives are Linear's way to manage product strategy and high-level planning across projects. Strategy may start at the company level, but teams carry it forward. You can now assign a team to lead an initiative, making it clear who is responsible for driving the work and how it contributes to the broader direction. For work that requires tighter access, initiatives led by private teams are only…
Your coding session doesn’t have to stop when you leave your desk. Use the Linear mobile app to review code changes, comment on specific lines, and iterate with Linear Agent. Open any diff and switch to the Changes tab to inspect the code. When you spot something to change, tap the relevant line to add it to your message to steer the coding session in the direction you want. We’ve also added secti…
Documents and project descriptions are critical context for your teams and agents. You can now edit text with Linear Agent, and use Loops to keep docs and project descriptions up-to-date. Author name indicators let you check if text was written by a colleague or added by a loop. When editing, changes you make through Linear Agent highlight separately so they're easy to review. If you need to rever…
Loops are a new way for Linear Agent to take on recurring work for your team. Describe the job in plain language and then choose whether it should run on a schedule or in response to an event. From there, Loops use context from your workspace and connected tools to decide on the next best action. For example: Review incoming issues, research root causes, and dispatch to coding agents Create and co…

Initiatives define your company's high-level goals and organize the projects that contribute to them. To help you manage initiatives as your roadmap grows, we've added a new set of focused initiative properties: Proposed and canceled statuses make it clear when an initiative is under consideration or has been intentionally set aside Priority communicates which initiatives are most important Labels…
Project and initiative updates keep teams aligned, but writing them means pulling out recent changes from issues, documents, and discussions. Instead of finding that context manually, click Write with Agent to let Linear do it for you. The agent reviews changes made since the last update, checks messages in the linked Slack channel, and writes an update draft for you to refine. Add your own perspe…
Earlier this year, we launched Linear Agent, giving teams a new way to plan and coordinate their issues and projects. Since then, we've added Code Intelligence to extend that understanding to the codebase, and MCP support to bring all of your context together. Today we're closing the loop: Linear Agent can now write code using Claude Code and Codex. You can triage, plan, review, and ship—all in Li…
Important team context doesn’t always belong in a specific issue, project, or initiative. Teams also need a dedicated place for the notes, docs, and shared references that support their work over time. Now, every team has a page to keep its context organized and easy to access. Teams can create documents directly from their home page, add existing documents from projects and issues, and group reso…
Agents generate large volumes of code, but individuals are still accountable for the changes that merge. This leads to a lot of review work, and the capability and performance of traditional review tools hasn't kept up. Today, we're releasing Linear Diffs to make reviewing code a fast and fluid experience native to Linear. You can now review diffs from any issue with a PR, iterate on further chang…
Project teams often use a Slack channel to discuss and share feedback about their project as it takes shape. Now, Linear can spin up that Slack channel automatically every time a new project is created. All project members are automatically added to the project Slack channel, and project updates post to that channel by default. When working in a project's Slack channel, you can use Linear Agent to…
Code Intelligence gives Linear Agent controlled access to your codebase, turning repositories into shared product context your whole team can use. With Code Intelligence, Linear Agent can reason about how your product actually works, not just what’s captured in issues, projects, and docs. Ask how a feature is implemented, why something behaves a certain way, what a change might affect, or which te…
Plan and track your software releases directly from Linear. Linear Releases integrates with your CI/CD tools to precisely track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue, giving team members and agents your full deployment context. Issue statuses automatically update when their associated code changes land in production. See what's live to customers, not just what's been merge…
Linear Agent can now connect to your tools via MCP, giving it access to data and actions beyond your Linear workspace. Bring external context into your workflows to investigate issues, plan projects, write specs, and draft updates grounded in your full context. For example: Pull meeting takeaways from Granola into a project update and create follow-up issues Use enterprise context from Glean to dr…
