Blocked issues watch

Surface what is blocked every morning so it gets unblocked.

Paste this into AgentBand

Every weekday at 9:30am, find issues in Linear marked blocked or with a Blocked label for the Product and Engineering teams, and post a list to #standup in Slack with the owner and what they are waiting on.

Runs Weekdays at 9:30 AM

Blockers hide in the board until someone goes looking. Forge finds every blocked issue each morning, notes who owns it and what it is waiting on, and posts the list to your team, so blockers get raised and cleared instead of sitting for days.

How it works

  1. 1 Find issues marked blocked across your teams
  2. 2 Note the owner and what each one is waiting on
  3. 3 Post the list to your standup channel
