Investigate major-version dependency bumps and file a migration ticket

When a PR bumps a dependency across a major version, an agent reads the changelog and migration guide, drafts a concrete upgrade checklist.

What it does

Major-version bumps usually need real migration work, not a review. When a PR crosses a major boundary, an agent gathers the changelog, the project's migration guide, and the affected import sites, then writes an actionable upgrade plan — what breaks, what to change, and what to test — and files it as a Linear ticket linked back to the PR.

When to use it

Use it when major bumps keep stalling because nobody has scoped the migration. This turns a scary `v3 → v4` PR into a tracked, estimable task with a checklist a developer can pick up.

How it works

  1. 1A PR-opened webhook fires on dependency-bump PRs.
  2. 2A logic step continues only when the bump crosses a major version.
  3. 3The agent fetches the changelog and migration guide for the version jump from GitHub.
  4. 4It scans the repo for usages of the package's changed APIs.
  5. 5The agent drafts a migration checklist with breaking items and test targets.
  6. 6A Linear ticket is created with the plan and a link to the originating PR.

Set it up

    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
