What it does

Takes a single major-version upgrade and produces a real migration plan, not just a flag. The agent reads the upstream migration guide, walks the codebase to find each construct that must change, and files an epic with concrete subtasks so a major bump becomes scoped, estimable work instead of a scary open-ended PR.

When to use it

When you decide to take on a major upgrade (a framework, ORM, or SDK jump) and need the work broken down before committing a sprint to it. Use it to turn "we should upgrade someday" into a planned, ownable backlog.

How it works

  1. 1A maintainer triggers the flow with a package name and target major version.
  2. 2The agent fetches the upstream migration guide and changelog from GitHub.
  3. 3It scans the repository for each pattern the guide says must change, grouping hits by module and owner.
  4. 4It drafts an ordered migration plan with risk notes and a rough effort estimate per group.
  5. 5It creates a Linear epic with one subtask per affected module, linking the exact files.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
