Deeplink to AI coding tools

⁠

Seek to:00:00 / 

Starting an issue used to mean manually creating a feature branch. Now it means assembling the right context so your coding agent can take a first pass. We’ve made this much easier to do in Linear.

You can now launch your preferred coding tool directly from a Linear issue, with a prefilled prompt that includes the issue ID and all relevant context: description, comments, updates, linked references, and images. No copying or reformatting required.

Open in a coding tool by pressing Cmd Option . (Mac) or Ctrl Alt .(Windows/Linux) to launch your most recently used tool, W then O to choose from your enabled tools, or by clicking the button next to the issue identifier.

Supported tools:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Conductor
  • Cursor
  • GitHub Copilot
  • OpenCode
  • Replit
  • v0
  • Zed

Prompt templates can also be customized to add standing instructions for how your agent should approach issues. For example, you may always want your agent to give you a detailed plan before writing any code.

Screenshot of a dark-themed UI modal titled “Prompt template.” The description reads: “The template to use when opening an issue in a coding tool, or when copying an issue as a prompt. Use {{issue.identifier}} or {{context}} to insert dynamic values.” Below, a bordered text box contains the template: “You are working on {{issue.identifier}}. {{context}} Treat issue comments as part of the spec. If comments contradict the description, ask me before proceeding. Keep changes scoped to the issue. If you notice something unrelated, add a comment rather than fixing it. After implementing, outline what tests need to be written before considering the task complete. If anything is underspecified, ask me before implementing.”

Configure your personal coding tools, prompt template, and more in preferences.
