How to view all projects cycles and issues with your AI

Connect Linear once, and your AI client pulls all your active projects, cycles, and open issues into one summary report. You get a single view of everything the team is working on right now, so you don't have to jump between different Linear views.

Short answer

How do I see everything I'm working on?

Your AI client pulls data from your active projects, current time cycles, and open issues to build a single summary report. This gives you one place to see everything the team is working on without jumping between different Linear views.

The outcome

See everything in one place

Instead of opening three different views in Linear, your AI client pulls the data together so you can get a complete picture of your team's current workload.

PROJECTS

See all active projects

The AI client lists every active project in Linear. You get a quick overview of the scope and status of every major initiative the team is running.

CYCLES

View current time cycles

You can get a list of all current time cycles. This helps you track when specific work periods start and end, keeping your team's timelines clear.

ISSUES

Review all open issues

The AI pulls a comprehensive list of all open issues. This is useful for quickly seeing what needs attention across all projects and cycles.

SUMMARY

Get a unified status report

The AI combines the data from projects, cycles, and issues into one summary. This gives you a single, actionable view of the entire team's current focus.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a status report

When you ask for a summary, your AI client first gathers the foundational data, then organizes it, and finally presents the complete picture.

  1. List all active projects

    The AI client starts by gathering a list of every active project. This establishes the high-level containers for all the work happening right now.

    list_linear_projects

  2. Gather current time cycles

    Next, the AI pulls all current time cycles. This data helps frame the scope of the work, showing which specific periods the issues and projects belong to.

    list_linear_cycles

  3. Pull all open issues

    The AI client then retrieves a list of all open issues. This is the core data, showing exactly what tasks need to be addressed across the board.

    list_linear_issues

  4. Build the summary report

    Finally, the AI combines the project list, cycle dates, and open issues into one cohesive summary. You get a single, organized view without switching screens.

FAQ

How does this task behave?

  • 01

    Can the AI change the status of an issue?

    No. The AI can only read and summarize existing data from Linear. It cannot change issue statuses or modify any records.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete any of my projects or issues?

    No. The AI only reads data. It has no tools to delete, archive, or modify your projects, cycles, or issues.

  • 03

    Yes, the AI can pull data across all accessible projects and issues, giving you a broad overview of what's happening across the board.

  • 04

    Can the AI tell me why an issue is blocked?

    No. The AI can list the issue and its current status, but it cannot access external context or reason about why a human might have blocked it.

  • 05

    Will the AI give me a report in a specific format like Markdown?

    Yes. The AI client generates the summary report in plain text, which you can then copy and paste into any document or chat.
