Influenced by some YouTube videos, and threads here about giving cursor some long term memory, and autonomous workflow, I started working with linear.app to mange my work (and my dedicated and patient “ai assistant”). I open a ticket in linear for a new feature. I describe the high level of it, along with some requirements, and points of emphasis, and using cursor rules, and an mcp server connecting to linear (I used this one, but hope to find a better one: GitHub - ibraheem4/linear-mcp: Enables AI agents to manage issues, projects, and teams on the Linear platform programmatically.).
so now, once I have a ticket ready, I label it with cursor or add [cursor] to its title, and in cursor i type: NLF and bam… (NLF = Next Linear Feature).
Cursor will create a detailed plan and update the ticket with it, wait for my review, and once approved will create a feature branch with linear conventions, which once I merge back from a merge request will mark the ticket done.
this helps keep a nice trail of work.
any thoughts, feedback or advice is welcome. If there is interest, I can share the rules I use.
