About Linear
Linear closes the loop from issue to shipped code, with agents doing the writing.
Linear has spent the past two months turning its agent from a planning aid into a coding participant. Code Intelligence gave the agent codebase reasoning, MCP brought in external context, Diffs added native review, and Coding sessions now let it write and ship code with Claude Code and Codex. The project tracker is becoming the place where work is also executed, not just coordinated.
