title: "Bringing the Cursor Agent to Linear"
description: "Cursor has introduced a Linear integration that lets teams delegate issues to @Cursor by assignment or comment mention, then runs a background agent with issue details, comments, and linked references as context. Teams can also define triaging rules that automatically assign selected tasks and review agent diffs and pull requests from Linear. After connecting a Linear team through Cursor’s integrations page, users assign an issue or mention @Cursor; the agent analyzes it and notifies users when the work is complete and a pull request is opened. Cursor says its team uses the workflow for thousands of customer-feedback, feature, and bug tasks, including a product-bug and feedback triage rule. According to the post, the agent now drafts pull requests for thousands of issues and can one-shot many of them."

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Cursor has introduced a Linear integration that lets teams delegate issues to @Cursor by assignment or comment mention, then runs a background agent with issue details, comments, and linked references as context. Teams can also define triaging rules that automatically assign selected tasks and review agent diffs and pull requests from Linear. After connecting a Linear team through Cursor’s integrations page, users assign an issue or mention @Cursor; the agent analyzes it and notifies users when the work is complete and a pull request is opened. Cursor says its team uses the workflow for thousands of customer-feedback, feature, and bug tasks, including a product-bug and feedback triage rule. According to the post, the agent now drafts pull requests for thousands of issues and can one-shot many of them.

## Context

The integration connects issue tracking with coding work so teams can delegate customer-feedback, feature, and bug tasks to Cursor agents without leaving their project-management workflow.

## Approach / What changed

Connect a Linear team through Cursor’s integrations page, assign an issue to @Cursor or mention it in a comment, and let Cursor analyze the issue, run a background agent, and open a pull request when the work is complete. Triaging rules can automate assignment for selected tasks.

## Takeaways

- Cursor uses issue details, comments, and linked references from Linear to provide context to its background agent.
- Linear triaging rules can automatically assign product bugs and feedback to Cursor, with issues also tagged using a repository label.
- Team members can review diffs and pull requests in Linear, then continue working in Cursor by adding instructions or editing the changes directly.
