What it does

Every weekday morning this workflow pulls all Linear issues labeled as cross-team dependencies, finds the ones whose status hasn't changed within your staleness window (default 3 business days), and posts a single grouped Slack digest to your program-leads channel. Each entry shows the blocking team, the waiting team, days stalled, and a direct link.

When to use it

Run this when handoffs between squads keep silently stalling and nobody notices until a sprint review. It gives program leads one scannable list every morning instead of forcing them to hunt across boards.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires on weekday mornings before standup.
  2. 2The workflow queries Linear for open issues carrying the "dependency" or "blocked" label.
  3. 3A staleness filter keeps only issues with no state transition inside the configured window.
  4. 4Remaining issues are grouped by blocking team and sorted by days stalled.
  5. 5A formatted digest is posted to the Slack program-leads channel; if nothing is stale, it posts a short all-clear note so leads know the check ran.
