  3. Any specific filters (e.g., only a project, only unassigned bugs)

Example: "Show me all open bugs for the Backend team, grouped by priority"

Context

Bug Discovery

  1. Use @Linear/List IssuesName it "Linear/List Issues" and call it with @Linear/List Issues to find issues with the "bug" label
  2. Also search for issues containing bug-related keywords in the title: "crash", "error", "broken", "fix", "regression"

  4. Combine and deduplicate results

Bug Detail Analysis

  2. Check for the following attributes:
    • Priority: Is it set? What level?
    • Assignee: Is someone working on it?
    • Due date: Is it overdue?
    • Created date: How old is the bug?
    • Labels: Are they properly categorized?
    • Cycle: Is it scheduled in a sprint?

Critical Bug Detection

  1. Flag bugs with Urgent or High priority that have no assignee
  2. Flag bugs older than 14 days with no state change
  3. Flag bugs with no priority set at all
  4. Identify bugs that are blocking other issues
