Team documents organize context; skills now shareable; description comments added

Important team context doesn’t always belong in a specific issue, project, or initiative. Teams also need a dedicated place for the notes, docs, and shared references that support their work over time. Now, every team has a page to keep its context organized and easy to access.

Teams can create documents directly from their home page, add existing documents from projects and issues, and group resources into sections.

Open a team’s page by clicking on its name in your sidebar, or search by pressing o, then t. Learn more in our documentation.

Shared skills for Linear Agent

Skills let you save reusable instructions for Linear Agent.

We now support sharing skills with your team so great personal workflows can become shared team process. Sharing a skill helps your team standardize recurring workflows like writing specs, running weekly planning, or drafting updates.

Use skills in any agent conversation by clicking on Skills or using a slash command. You can share an existing skill from settings, or by asking Linear Agent. Learn more in our documentation.

Issue description comments

You can now comment directly on text or images in issue descriptions.

Select any part of a description to leave a comment anchored to that exact spot. Use description comments to share feedback on a specific part of the description, rather than commenting on the issue as a whole.
