Stale issue cleanup
Flag untouched issues for review before the backlog rots.
Paste this into AgentBand
Every Monday at 9am, find issues in Linear with no updates in the last 30 days that are not done, add a Stale label, and post a review list grouped by team so they get closed, reassigned, or reprioritized.
A backlog full of forgotten issues hides the work that matters. AgentBand finds the ones that have gone untouched, flags them, and hands you a review list, so stale work gets closed or revived on purpose instead of piling up.
How it works
- 1 Find not-done issues with no activity past your threshold
- 2 Add a Stale label so they are easy to filter
- 3 Post a review list grouped by team for cleanup

What does the Stale issue cleanup agent do? +
A backlog full of forgotten issues hides the work that matters. AgentBand finds the ones that have gone untouched, flags them, and hands you a review list, so stale work gets closed or revived on purpose instead of piling up.
Which tools does this Linear agent need? +
It uses Linear. You connect each account once in AgentBand, and the agent acts through them. Your credentials are never exposed to the model.
How often does it run? +
Mondays at 9:00 AM. You can also run it on demand at any time, or change the schedule by chatting with it.
Do I need to write any code? +
No. You describe the agent in a sentence, connect the tools it needs, and AgentBand runs it. There is nothing to code or deploy.
