Connect Linear to turn issues into Aether tasks. You create routes that map a Linear team — optionally a specific project within it — to an Aether project. Matching issues open tasks in that project, and the agent’s progress and result post back to Linear.
Linear is config-gated: it is only available when the deployment has Linear OAuth credentials configured. If you do not see Linear in Settings → Connections or the CLI commands return errors, the deployment has not enabled it. See Integrations.

Prerequisites

A route targets an Aether project that has a linked GitHub repo — that is where the agent’s work lands. Connect GitHub and import a repo first; see GitHub integration.

Connecting Linear

Go to Settings → Connections → Linear and click Connect to authorize Aether to access your Linear organization.
Check the connection any time:

Listing Teams and Projects

Routes are keyed by Linear team and (optionally) project ID, so look those up first:

Creating a Route

A route maps a Linear team (and optionally one project within it) to an Aether project. Omit the Linear project to match every issue in the team.
Run with no flags to pick the team interactively. --aether-project accepts a project ID or short prefix and defaults to your selected project; it must be a project with a linked repo. New routes are enabled by default — pass --enabled false to create one paused.

What Happens on an Issue

When a matching Linear issue triggers Aether, the agent opens a task seeded from the issue’s identifier, title, description, labels, and recent comments, with instructions to implement the fix, run checks, and open or update a PR. Progress and the final result post back to the Linear issue as comments and agent-session activities, including links to the Aether task and the pull request.

Managing Routes

The enabled flag lets you pause a route without deleting it.

Disconnecting Linear

Disconnecting removes all Linear routes. --force skips the confirmation prompt.

API

The Linear endpoints are part of the frontend/CLI API surface, not the versioned /v1 API, and are config-gated — see the API overview. Browse the operations under the Linear group, for example list routes and create a route. The full CLI reference is at aether linear.
