Triage a late sprint ticket with an agent and recommend defer or swap
When a ticket is added to a locked sprint, an agent reads its description and the sprint's committed work, judges urgency, and either drafts a defer-to-next-cycle note…

What it does
Applies agent judgment to mid-sprint scope requests. For each ticket added after lock, the agent reads the request alongside the sprint's committed scope, classifies it as urgent or deferrable, and produces a concrete recommendation — defer to the next cycle, or swap it in for a same-size committed ticket — then routes the call to the PM for a final yes/no.
When to use it
Reach for this when late tickets need reasoning, not just point math: distinguishing a genuine production-blocker from a nice-to-have, and proposing what to give up if it must come in now.
How it works
- 1A Linear webhook fires when an issue enters the locked cycle.
- 2A logic step filters to post-lock additions only.
- 3An agent action reads the ticket plus committed sprint scope and classifies urgency.
- 4The agent drafts either a defer note or a swap proposal naming the ticket to drop.
- 5A Slack message presents the recommendation for PM confirmation; on approval the agent applies the labels in Linear.
