Using Klu Chat with Linear Integration

Klu enhances your experience with Linear by allowing you to manage issues, track projects, and oversee cycles directly from the chat interface. Here’s how you can leverage this integration:

1. Managing Issues

• Overview:
  Issues in Linear represent individual tasks, bugs, or feature requests that teams track from creation to completion. They can be assigned, prioritized, labeled, and updated in real-time.

• Query:
  "Create a new issue in Linear: [Title] - [Description] - [Assignee] - [Priority]"

• Workflow:

  • A user can create an issue directly from Klu chat.
  • After creating the issue, the user can share the issue link in Slack for team visibility.
  • Example: "I created a new issue in Linear for the bug found in the app, send this to Slack #product."

• Cross-App Action:

  • If a user receives an email in Gmail about a bug, they can summarize the email and create a Linear issue directly from Klu chat.
  • Example: "Create issue: Bug in login feature - [Summary from Email] - [Assignee]"

2. Tracking Projects

• Overview:
  Projects in Linear group related issues under a common goal, offering a high-level view of progress.

• Query:
  "Show me the progress of the [Project Name] in Linear."

• Workflow:

  • Users can check the status of a project and discuss it in Klu chat.
  • If the project is behind schedule, they can create a follow-up task in Linear.
  • Example: "The project is behind schedule. Let's create a task to address the blockers."

3. Managing Cycles

• Overview:
  Cycles in Linear are time-boxed periods (like sprints) where teams focus on completing specific tasks. Unfinished work rolls over to future cycles, and Linear helps predict delays based on past performance.

• Query:
  "What tasks are in the current cycle?"

• Workflow:

  • Users can review tasks in the current cycle and discuss priorities in Klu chat.
  • If tasks are not completed, they can roll over to the next cycle.
  • Example: "We need to roll over the unfinished tasks to the next cycle."

• Cross-App Action:

  • Users can create a Notion page summarizing the cycle's outcomes and share it with the team.
  • Example: "Create a summary page in Notion for the current cycle's tasks."

Example Scenarios

1. Finding and Sharing an Issue:

     • Send to Slack: "Send message to [Colleague]: [Link to Issue]"

2. Creating a Task from an Email:

   • Action: A user receives an email about a new feature request.
   • Steps:
