Linear agent
Assign or mention `@143` in Linear to start a 143 coding session from an issue.
Use the Linear agent when Linear is already the team's source of work. 143 reads the issue context, creates or continues the matching coding session, posts progress back to Linear, and links the resulting PR.
Setup
@143 agent user.Start work from Linear
You can trigger work in two ways:
- Assign the issue to
@143. - Mention
@143in the issue description or a comment.
143 reads the issue title, description, recent comments, attachments, team, and project context. It does not automatically read private 143 sessions or unrelated internal docs.
Repo mapping priority
- A
repo:owner/namelabel on the issue. - Exact team and project mapping.
- Team default mapping.
- Organization default repo.
- Otherwise, 143 posts a clear configuration response and does not start work.
Follow-ups
When a session already exists for an issue, mention @143 again with follow-up instructions. 143 continues the existing session instead of starting a separate branch by default.
Visibility
If the session was started from Linear, Linear remains the collaboration surface for progress updates and final PR links.
