GitHub to Linear issues

Turn flagged GitHub items into tracked Linear work, linked both ways.

Paste this into AgentBand

Every hour, find GitHub issues and pull requests labeled needs-tracking, create a Linear issue for each on the Engineering team with the summary and a link back to GitHub, and add the Linear link as a comment on GitHub.

Runs Every hour

Work flagged in GitHub should not live outside your tracker. Forge picks up the items you label, creates a matching Linear issue, and links the two so they stay connected, turning loose GitHub threads into tracked, assignable work.

How it works

  1. 1 Find GitHub issues and PRs carrying your tracking label
  2. 2 Create a Linear issue for each with a link back to GitHub
  3. 3 Comment the Linear link on the GitHub item so both are connected
