Linear Card

bottlebrushesTasks & Workflows
Get it for macOS

See which Linear issue each chat is about, right in the thread header. Click the chip for the full card with its description and images, then open, change, or unlink it. A chat with no card opens your assigned issues, grouped by state and searchable, so you can link one in two clicks. Branches named by Linear (eng-123-…) attach their issue on their own, and long titles get a short AI label. Requires a Linear personal API key; short labels use bb's Account Pooler.

Overview

What you get

  • A chip in the thread header with the Linear logo, the issue id, and its title. Titles over 40 characters show a short AI label; the full title stays in the tooltip and the card.
  • Click the chip for the full card: workflow state, priority, project, assignee, labels, and the description with its attached images, plus Open in Linear, Change card, and Unlink.
  • When no card is connected, the chip reads "No Linear card" and opens an explorer of the issues assigned to you, grouped In progress, Todo, Triage, and Backlog. Search by id or title, filter by Linear project, show done issues, expand an issue to read it, and link it to the chat.
  • A Projects section on the plugin's settings page with one checkbox per bb project, so the chip shows only where you work from Linear.

How a chat gets its card

  1. An issue you linked from the explorer.
  2. Otherwise, the issue named by the thread's git branch. Linear's generated branch names, such as name/eng-123-fix-login, match when ENG is one of your team keys.
  3. Unlink detaches the card and stops branch detection for that chat.

Requirements

  • A Linear personal API key, entered in the plugin settings. It stays on the bb server; attachments load through the plugin with that key.
  • Short AI titles use bb's Account Pooler (Claude Haiku). Without it, the chip shows the full title, truncated.

Agentic MermaidDraws Mermaid diagrams in chat with outlined boxes, routed edges, and your theme's colors. Renders 15 diagram types, including gantt, pie, mindmap, timeline, and architecture, through the agentic-mermaid library. Git graphs and types it can't draw keep bb's own renderer. Diagrams recolor when you switch between light and dark mode. Relies on bb internals, so a bb update can return diagrams to the stock renderer until the plugin catches up.159Chat FindPress Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac) in any bb chat to find words in the conversation, with every match highlighted where it appears. Enter and Shift+Enter step through matches, and the chat scrolls each one clear of the composer, including matches inside bold text, links, and syntax-highlighted code. The count updates while an agent is still replying, without losing your place. Escape closes the bar and puts the cursor back where it was. It searches the messages the chat has loaded, leaves Ctrl+F to the embedded browser and terminals when they have focus, and needs no account or external service.NewConductor ThemeApplies the Conductor workspace aesthetic across bb with roasted espresso and native black surfaces, warm brown message cards, bone typography, and emerald accents.71GitHub ProjectsCreates and imports GitHub repositories directly from BB's native project picker.
