alt Hacker NewsI just feel apps like linear are increasingly getting in the way of full send agentic development where sub agent orchestration is done through agent to agent messaging, work trees, on demand git restructuring and epoch specific coordination plains, often .md files. The smaller the human component of total product development gets, the more this may be the case.

Linear is a key part of my prompting technique. I write specifications in Linear, and the history I generate in it becomes a critical source of context for my agents. Prompting my agents has become “look at XYZ-124 in Linear and ask me any questions you have.”
Question here:
How do you expect to see the history/record of what the agents did and why? Is it enough to see it in PRs? Do you expect tickets that have the design and history? How are you thinking of agents being able to historically resolve reasoning/why/decisions made in earlier passes?Genuine open question here. My assumption is that a GH or Linear or Jira is still useful as a decision store. It may as well be a custom app over Postgres, but it seems like something is needed to store this and for observability. A GH/Linear/Jira is nice if only because of standard APIs and integration points (whatever you build would likely end up duplicating a subset of those).
