How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerSchedule triggers the aging check
  • ActionFetch flags and expiry metadataHTTP webhook
  • LogicSelect flags past expiry and compute overdue days
  • ActionCreate or escalate the Linear cleanup ticketLinearLinear
  • OutputPost an aging comment mentioning the ownerLinearLinear

What it does

Turns stale flags into tracked work. It scans flags for ones that have outlived a per-flag expiry date, then files a Linear ticket assigned to the flag owner with the flag key, age, and creation context. If a ticket already exists, it bumps the priority and adds an aging comment so ignored flags climb the backlog instead of being silently dropped.

When to use it

Use it when Slack pings get ignored and you need flag cleanup to live where the rest of engineering work does. Best for teams that plan in Linear and want stale flags to age into visible, prioritized tickets.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers the aging check.
  2. 2An HTTP call retrieves flags plus each flag's expiry metadata.
  3. 3A logic step selects flags past expiry and computes how overdue each is.
  4. 4Linear creates a cleanup ticket, or finds the existing one and raises its priority.
  5. 5The final step posts an aging comment with the flag owner @-mentioned for accountability.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  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.
