Linear shipped 'Linear for Agents' - first-class API for AI agents to read/write issues

Linear became one of the first project trackers with a properly-designed agent surface: agents can pick up issues, leave comments, mark progress, all without disrupting human collaboration. Combined with Cursor and Claude Code, this is the first time you can actually have an AI co-developer that owns its own ticket. If you're running a team with AI in the loop, this is the upgrade Linear needed. Verdict unchanged - Pick - but Linear's lead over Jira / Shortcut / Height for AI-native teams just got wider.
