Linear Coding Sessions (linear.app)

Linear has announced the launch of "coding sessions," a feature that enables users to run agentic coding workflows directly within the Linear platform. When issues are delegated to Linear, it initiates a secure coding session using AI models like Claude Code or Codex, drafting pull requests (PRs) that can be reviewed and merged seamlessly. This capability enhances collaboration by allowing team members to participate in multi-player coding sessions, and workspace members with repository access can create PRs without needing a local development setup. The significance of coding sessions lies in their potential to streamline issue resolution and code management in software development. By automatically addressing incoming issues in Triage and allowing coding sessions to be launched from platforms like Slack or Teams, the feature not only accelerates development processes but also optimizes resource use by guiding AI interactions based on clear issue scoping. Linear's ability to maintain context during coding sessions by leveraging prior setups, like skills.md files, ensures more efficient coding workflows. Overall, this feature represents a shift towards integrating AI-driven automation within project management tools, promising to boost productivity within the AI/ML community and beyond.
