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

Connect Linear from 143 settings.
Authorize the Linear scopes needed for the @143 agent user.
Map Linear teams or projects to GitHub repositories.
Enable the agent for the teams that should be allowed to start work.

Start work from Linear

You can trigger work in two ways:

  • Assign the issue to @143.
  • Mention @143 in 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

  1. A repo:owner/name label on the issue.
  2. Exact team and project mapping.
  3. Team default mapping.
  4. Organization default repo.
  5. 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.
