Bulk-fetch issues, dedupe, relabel, reassign, and post summaries — all from the shell without clicking through the UI. metadata: short-description: Linear/Jira triage + bug sweeps via the Composio CLI

Issue Triage (Linear / Jira)

Drive triage sessions and bug sweeps across Linear or Jira with the Composio CLI. Pull the backlog, cluster duplicates, apply labels, and hand a clean list back to the team.

When to Use

• Weekly triage: "what's unassigned, stale, or missing a priority?"
• Bug sweep after a release: "cluster all P1/P2 bugs, dedupe, assign owners."
• Cross-tool sync: Sentry → Linear, PagerDuty → Jira.

Prereqs

curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash
composio login
composio link linear        # or: composio link jira

Discover Tools

composio search "list issues" --toolkits linear
composio search "search issues" --toolkits jira

composio tools list jira

Common slugs (verify with --get-schema):

Linear

• LINEAR_LIST_ISSUES
• LINEAR_CREATE_ISSUE
• LINEAR_UPDATE_ISSUE
• LINEAR_CREATE_COMMENT

Jira

• JIRA_SEARCH_FOR_ISSUES_USING_JQL
• JIRA_CREATE_ISSUE
• JIRA_EDIT_ISSUE
• JIRA_ADD_COMMENT
• JIRA_ASSIGN_ISSUE

Triage Workflow

1. Pull the backlog slice:

   # Linear
   composio execute LINEAR_LIST_ISSUES -d '{
     "filter": { "state": { "type": { "eq": "unstarted" } }, "assignee": { "null": true } },
     "first": 100
   }'
   
   # Jira
   composio execute JIRA_SEARCH_FOR_ISSUES_USING_JQL -d '{
     "jql": "project = APP AND statusCategory != Done AND assignee is EMPTY ORDER BY updated DESC",
     "maxResults": 100,
     "fields": ["summary","priority","labels","updated","reporter"]
   }'
   

2. Cluster by title similarity and labels. The agent groups likely duplicates locally.
3. Apply updates in one pass (label, priority, assignee):

   composio execute LINEAR_UPDATE_ISSUE -d '{
     "id":"abc-123","priority":2,"labelIds":["label-bug","label-p1"],"assigneeId":"user-42"
   }'
   
   composio execute JIRA_EDIT_ISSUE -d '{
     "issueIdOrKey":"APP-482",
     "fields":{"priority":{"name":"High"},"labels":["bug","p1"]}
   }'
   

4. Link duplicates with comments referencing the canonical issue.
5. Post a digest of what changed to Slack so the team sees the sweep results.

Bug Sweep (Post-Release)

# Jira: every bug filed in the last 7 days, sorted by severity
composio execute JIRA_SEARCH_FOR_ISSUES_USING_JQL -d '{
  "jql":"type = Bug AND created >= -7d ORDER BY priority DESC, created ASC",
  "fields":["summary","priority","labels","reporter","components"]
}' | jq -r '.issues[] | "\(.fields.priority.name)\t\(.key)\t\(.fields.summary)"'

Workflow File

scripts/triage-linear.ts, run with composio run --file scripts/triage-linear.ts:

const { nodes: issues } = await execute("LINEAR_LIST_ISSUES", {
  filter: { state: { type: { eq: "unstarted" } }, assignee: { null: true } },
  first: 100
});

const stale = issues.filter(i => {
  const age = (Date.now() - new Date(i.updatedAt).getTime()) / 86400000;
  return age > 14;
});

for (const i of stale) {
  await execute("LINEAR_CREATE_COMMENT", {
    issueId: i.id,
    body: "Auto-triage: stale for 14+ days. Please assign or close."
  });
}

await execute("SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE", {
  channel: "triage",
  text: `Weekly triage: pinged ${stale.length} stale issues.`
});

Cross-Tool: Sentry → Linear

composio run '
  const hot = await execute("SENTRY_LIST_A_PROJECTS_ISSUES", {
    organization_slug:"acme", project_slug:"api",
    query:"is:unresolved", sort:"freq", limit:5
  });
  for (const s of hot) {
    await execute("LINEAR_CREATE_ISSUE", {
      teamId: "TEAM_ID",
      title: `[Sentry] ${s.title}`,
      description: `${s.permalink}\nCount: ${s.count}`,
      labelIds: ["label-bug","label-from-sentry"]
    });
  }
'

Troubleshooting

• Unknown field names → composio execute <SLUG> --get-schema shows the exact filter shape (Linear uses nested objects; Jira uses JQL strings).
• 403 on Linear → re-run composio link linear with the right workspace.
• Jira custom fields missing → request them explicitly in the fields array.
• Bulk edits rate-limited → insert a 250ms sleep in the composio run loop; don't use --parallel.
