Linear
Linear integration provides secure access to your project management data for documentation automation. When Linear is configured as a context source, Promptless can search for related issues to understand the business context behind code changes.
How It Works as Context Source
When Linear is enabled as a context source:
- Automatic Issue Lookup: When a GitHub PR mentions a Linear issue, Promptless automatically retrieves that issue for additional context
- Proactive Searches: Promptless can search Linear for related issues and projects to understand feature requirements
- Business Context: Linear issues provide the “why” behind code changes, not just the “what”
Example
When a GitHub PR mentions a new feature, Promptless searches Linear for related issues to understand additional project context. This ensures your documentation includes business requirements and feature goals alongside technical implementation details.
Configuration
Configure Linear context in your project settings:
- Enable Linear as a context source for your project
- Select which Linear teams Promptless can search within
- Promptless will only search within teams you explicitly select
Promptless inherits the permissions of the Linear account used during OAuth connection and will only search teams you configure in your project settings.
Data Privacy
Promptless queries Linear data in real-time and does not store any of your Linear data. All searches are performed on-demand when documentation updates are needed.
Setup Instructions
To connect Linear to Promptless, see the Linear Integration setup guide.
