Enrich Sentry-spike Linear bugs with an AI root-cause summary

When a Sentry spike creates a deduplicated Linear bug, an agent reads the stack trace and recent GitHub commits to the culprit file.

What it does

Adds an analyst layer on top of spike triage. After deduplicating a Sentry spike into a Linear bug, an agent pulls the stack trace plus recent commits touching the culprit file from GitHub, reasons about the probable cause, names the most suspect commit, and writes a plain-language summary onto the ticket before routing it to the owning team.

When to use it

Use it when engineers spend the first 20 minutes of every bug just reconstructing what changed. Best for active codebases where a spike usually traces back to a recent deploy and you want a head start on the investigation written into the ticket.

How it works

  1. 1A Sentry spike alert fires for an issue.
  2. 2The agent reads the stack trace, culprit path, and fingerprint from Sentry.
  3. 3It fetches recent commits and diffs touching that path from GitHub and resolves the owning team from CODEOWNERS.
  4. 4It reasons over the trace plus diffs to draft a root-cause hypothesis and flag the suspect commit.
  5. 5It deduplicates against Linear, then creates or updates the bug with the summary and assigns the owning team.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  2. 2
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
