What it does

With Linear as your ticket tool, CodeObsess works as an agent in your Linear workspace. You delegate a ticket to it or mention it, and it reports in the ticket as it works: its steps, its questions and its final report.

Set it up

  1. Each person presses Link Linear on Home, to link their own Linear account.
  2. An owner or admin presses Install on the Install the CodeObsess Linear app step.
Only an admin of your Linear workspace can install apps there. If that isn’t you, press Ask your Linear admin and send them the link. It works once, for 7 days, and installs CodeObsess for your company only.

How to use it

  • Start: delegate the ticket to CodeObsess, or mention CodeObsess in it, and write what you need.
  • Status: one status comment, edited in place. Questions show Waiting for your reply.
  • Reply: reply in the ticket’s agent session. A reply from the CodeObsess website shows in Linear as “Your name (via CodeObsess): …”.
  • Plans and screenshots: plan links are added to the ticket’s links, and screenshots appear in the report.
Which repository a ticket works in comes from your products and routing rules, then the ticket’s Linear project or team. If nothing decides it, CodeObsess asks which product.

What access it needs

The CodeObsess Linear app asks Linear to read and write, and to be assignable and mentionable as an agent.

Disconnect

Remove the CodeObsess app in your Linear workspace’s settings. To connect again, use Reconnect in Settings › Connections, or install it again from Home.
