Linear → Claude Code Loop

Overview

Ticket-driven coding loop. Linear MCP for ticket context, Lanes (or equivalent) for local board state, Scavio for out-of-repo grounding (framework docs, Stack Overflow, GitHub issues).

Trigger

Manual (developer opens ticket)

Schedule

Per-ticket (developer-triggered)

Workflow Steps

Attach 3 MCPs in Claude Code

linear (hosted, OAuth) + lanes (local) + scavio.

Set explicit routing rules in system prompt

Each MCP has a clear job; no overlap.

Start session: Claude reads ticket via linear MCP

ticket description + linked PRs + comments.

Claude navigates local repo via lanes MCP

Per-worktree git state + scrollback.

Claude pulls out-of-repo grounding via scavio MCP

framework docs, Stack Overflow, recent GH issues.

Claude writes change + comments back to Linear

Loop close: linear.add_comment summarizes the fix.
