Tom Moor demoed Linear's cents-per-task triage system for coding agents on AI Engineer. The target is coding agents working in Linear issues and pull requests.
Linear began in 2019 as an issue tracker, Moor said. GitHub Copilot brought AI tab completion in 2021, Moor said. First functional coding agents arrived in 2024, Moor said.
Intelligence costing $100 three years ago costs 5 cents today, Moor said. Agents now run for hours and days, Moor said. "Code is not the bottleneck now," Moor said.
Triage pulls ideas from Zendesk, Slack, Gong and Datadog alerts, Moor said. The agent labels, assigns, groups and closes duplicates, Moor said. It leaves investigation, customer value and related decisions on the issue, Moor said. ChatGPT Learn docs state Triage rules can delegate new issues to Codex automatically.
Review is where that context gets tested.
The review agent starts from that base issue context, Moor said. It checks prior decisions, reverts and overlapping work, Moor said. It caught a DB transaction risk and blocked iconography rejected a year earlier, Moor said. A daily automation distills merged fixes back into agents.md, Moor said.
