What Runner can do with Linear
These examples are grounded in the real Runner backend connector definitions and connector guidance docs, not generic marketing filler.
Linear
List issues scoped to the team
"Show me open issues assigned to the platform team in this sprint cycle."
Runner surfaces engineering work without pulling unfiltered backlogs.
Linear
Create an issue from the meeting outcome
"Create a Linear issue for the auth bug Maya flagged, assign to platform, and link it to the security project."
Action items from meetings become tracked engineering work without context switching.
Linear
Check sprint status before the standup
"Show the current cycle progress and any blocked issues before the engineering sync."
Sprint health becomes part of the operating context before the meeting.
Linear
Update issue status from the workflow
"Mark the auth fix as Done and add a comment with the deploy confirmation."
Issue state stays current without switching to Linear.
Linear
Link related work across teams
linear_link_issues
Create blocks, blockedBy, or relatedTo relationships between issues.
"Link the API migration issue to the three frontend tasks it blocks."
Cross-team dependencies become visible instead of living in Slack threads.

What to expect when Runner uses Linear

Linear
Never call list_issues unfiltered — workspaces grow large fast. Always scope by team, project, or assignee.
Operational note
Linear
Status names are team-specific; call list_issue_statuses(team) before using.
