Cursor has launched a new integration with Linear, allowing users to assign tasks to Cursor agents similarly to how they assign tasks to team members. This integration enhances productivity by enabling agents to take on coding tasks, open pull requests, and update progress within Linear, where project context is managed. The integration is designed to improve as agents become more reliable, and users adapt to writing issues with agent-specific context in mind. It facilitates progress on less urgent tasks by reducing the effort required from engineers, allowing them to focus on polishing and quality work that often gets deprioritized. Building the integration was straightforward, thanks to support from Linear’s team and tools like the Linear SDK and GraphQL types. Challenges included working with webhooks and ensuring effective communication between agents and users. Future enhancements could include more automation based on issue taxonomy and deeper collaboration with agents in planning and task management.
