Delegate issue

delegateLinearIssue delegates an existing issue to a Linear agent app. Linear then starts and tracks the provider’s coding session on that issue.

automations/delegate-linear-issue.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import {
  delegateLinearIssue,
  listLinearUsers,
  onLinearIssueCreated,
} from "automate.ax/linear"

export default automation("Delegate Linear issues to Codex", () => {
  const issue = onLinearIssueCreated()
  const agents = listLinearUsers({ app: true, active: true, name: "Codex" })

  delegateLinearIssue({
    issueId: issue.identifier,
    delegateId: agents.users[0]!.id,
  })
})

issueId accepts a UUID or human-readable identifier such as ENG-123. delegateId is the app-user ID returned by listLinearUsers; choose an active app user whose supportsAgentSessions field is true. Optional second argument { account } defaults to the project binding. Returns the updated LinearIssue, including its delegate. The selected agent integration must already be installed and configured in the Linear workspace. Use updateLinearIssue({ issueId, delegateId: null }) to remove delegation.
