What it does

This workflow makes sure deprecations don't quietly cross their removal date. Each day it compares your tracked deprecation issues against their known end-of-life dates and escalates the ones running out of runway, so a library removal never breaks production by surprise.

When to use it

Use it when upstream dependencies announce hard removal dates and you need a forcing function as those dates approach. Best paired with the rollup or scoped-issue workflows that create the Linear issues in the first place.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the run.
  2. 2The flow reads open deprecation issues from Linear along with their recorded end-of-life dates.
  3. 3A filter selects issues whose deadline falls inside the escalation window and are still unresolved.
  4. 4For each, it posts a deadline-pressure comment on the Linear issue with days remaining.
  5. 5It raises a PagerDuty notice for any deprecation past the critical threshold so an owner is paged before removal lands.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  2. 2
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
