A user says Linear’s Slack agent still feels brittle in real ticketing workflows

The post lists several frustrations after using Linear’s Slack agent to create tickets:

it often checks Done issues for duplicates
there appears to be no memory or system prompt support, so instructions must be repeated
it won’t attach issues to projects unless explicitly told
it requires tagging each time, instead of continuing to listen in a thread
it should be 2–3× faster, though that is not the main blocker

The takeaway is that the agent is useful enough to adopt, but still lacks the persistence and workflow ergonomics users want from a production tool.
