Replicas integrates with Linear as an assignable agent. Assign issues to Replicas like you would a team member, and it spawns a workspace to complete the task.

Setup

  1. Go to Integrations settings
  2. Click Connect Linear
  3. Authorize Replicas for your Linear workspace
Ensure you have at least one coding agent configured before assigning tasks.

How It Works

When you assign an issue to Replicas:
  1. Replicas Agent (an AI orchestrator) analyzes the issue
  2. If clarification is needed, it asks follow-up questions in a thread
  3. Once ready, it spawns a workspace with your chosen coding agent
  4. The agent works autonomously, streaming progress to the thread
  5. When done, a PR link appears in the comments

Agent Selection

Replicas asks which coding agent to use (Claude Code or Codex) unless you’ve set a default in user preferences.

Context

The context provided to the agent are listed below:
  • Issue title
  • Issue description (including images)
  • Parent issue content
  • User message (if triggering using @Replicas in a comment)

Closing the workspace

When you mark an issue as Done, Canceled, or Duplicate in Linear, Replicas automatically cleans up the associated workspace.

Intended Usage

Replicas works best with concise but direct instructions. Agents can typically crawl and search codebases well, so it is best to only provide a handful of sentences. Describe:
  • Where to look
  • Functionality
  • Any considerations
