Linear Agent learns to code while Figma gets organized

Linear Agent crosses the line from planning to shipping

The biggest story of the week is Linear Agent's new coding session capability. Linear's AI agent, which previously handled planning and issue triage, can now write code using Claude Code and Codex directly inside Linear. When a new issue arrives, the agent can investigate it, write a fix, review the diff, and ship it — all without leaving the workspace. The sessions are cloud-based and pull in the full project context, so the agent understands the codebase before it starts writing. This is a meaningful step beyond the code review and issue-scanning features Linear has been layering on: it turns the agent from a planner into a doer, and it cements Linear's bet that project management and development are converging in the same tool.

Figma gets organized, and expands its reach

With Tab Groups in the desktop app, Figma took a usability pain point that has been growing for years — dozens of open tabs with no way to group them — and fixed it with a simple, visual system. You can name groups, color-code them, collapse them, and expand them. For anyone who keeps design files, dev handoff boards, and research docs all open at once, this is the kind of quality-of-life improvement that feels overdue.

Meanwhile, Figma's Chrome extension can now capture webpages as editable layers — pull a live site into Figma Design and start editing. It's in beta and limited to paid plans, but it opens up a workflow that previously required screenshots or manual re-creation. The Community profile redesign is a quieter update, but for designers who publish plugins, templates, or files, the new layout makes it easier to show process and portfolio in one place.

And across the board, Figma raised the video upload limit to 300 MB for Professional, Organization, and Enterprise users — a direct response to the growing use of video in design files for prototypes, walkthroughs, and motion studies.

SDK and tooling updates

The Slack Node SDK had a major version bump for cli-test that removes a default global flag, forcing apps to explicitly declare whether they're targeting a local or deployed environment — a breaking change worth noting if you're writing automated tests against Slack apps. The web-api package got a smaller but useful addition: a public ts getter on ChatStreamer that lets you fall back to chat.update when a stream expires server-side.

Figma's Code Connect tool fixed browser compatibility issues that broke imports in Storybook and webpack environments, plus template parsing bugs that could prevent publishing. And both Notion and Slack shipped routine bug-fix releases — the kind of churn that keeps things running but doesn't change the surface.
