Agent triage of post-lock Linear additions with accept-or-defer recommendation
When a ticket is added to a locked sprint, an agent reads the ticket and the sprint's remaining capacity, judges urgency against the committed goal, and recommends accept, swap…

What it does
This workflow brings judgment to scope creep. Rather than just flagging an addition, an agent reasons about whether the new ticket is genuinely urgent, what it would displace, and whether the sprint can still hit its committed goal, then makes a concrete recommendation and records why.
When to use it
Use it when late additions are common and you want a consistent, reasoned first pass before a human decides. Good for fast-moving teams where the lead cannot review every mid-sprint request personally.
How it works
- 1A Linear webhook fires when an issue is added to a locked cycle.
- 2An agent reads the new issue, the cycle's committed goal, and the remaining capacity and in-flight work from Linear.
- 3The agent reasons about urgency and trade-offs and decides accept, swap, or defer.
- 4It applies the corresponding label to the issue in Linear and, for swaps, names the ticket to displace.
- 5It posts its recommendation and rationale to Slack for the lead to confirm.
