What SpecBot does
SpecBot reviews every Linear issue for completeness before it enters a cycle and flags the missing context most likely to cause rework or a bad AI-agent run.
Quality gates for human and AI-created issues
Quality gates for human and AI-created Linear issues.
SpecBot scores every Linear issue before it enters a cycle, flags missing context, and helps teams keep human- and agent-created work implementation-ready.

Stop unclear issues before cycle planning
SpecBot fits inside the Linear workflow your team already uses. No extra tools, no change to how you triage — just implementation-ready issues before they enter a cycle.
Core
🧭
Reduce rework
Catch missing problem statements, vague scope, and unclear expected behavior before they turn into engineering churn.
✅
Enforce acceptance criteria
Push every issue toward testable acceptance criteria so teams stop debating what 'done' means midway through implementation.
🧱
Prevent unclear tickets
Flag missing edge cases, dependencies, reproduction steps, and technical context while the issue is still easy to fix.
🤖
Review AI-created issues
Review issues created by Linear agents, Copilot, or Cursor before engineering starts work. Flag vague AI-generated specs before they enter a cycle.

Three steps to better issue quality
01
Install
Connect SpecBot to your Linear workspace with one OAuth click and keep your current workflow intact.
02
Score and enrich
SpecBot reviews every new issue for completeness, flags missing context, and suggests stronger specs automatically.
03
Hand off cleanly
Engineering teams and coding agents start from clearer tickets with less rework and fewer avoidable back-and-forth cycles.
What SpecBot is, who it helps, and why teams use it
Who SpecBot helps
Founders, PMs, engineering leads, and AI-native teams use SpecBot to keep human- and agent-created issues implementation-ready before they reach a sprint.
Why teams install it
Cleaner issues mean fewer clarification loops, stronger acceptance criteria, and implementation-ready specs for both engineers and coding agents.
Common questions
Does SpecBot review every new issue automatically?
Yes. SpecBot analyzes each new issue as soon as it is created in Linear and posts a score, flagged gaps, suggested acceptance criteria, and a recommended next action directly on the issue thread. No command or @mention is required.
What access does SpecBot need?
SpecBot requests read and write access to your Linear workspace so it can receive issue events and post review comments. The install is a single OAuth click — no webhook configuration, no API key setup, and no changes to your existing Linear workflow.
What does SpecBot score inside a Linear issue?
SpecBot scores eight dimensions: clear user problem, expected behavior, acceptance criteria, edge cases, technical context, dependencies, reproduction steps, and priority or scope clarity. Each dimension is rated 0–100 and the overall score determines whether the issue passes your quality gate.
Can SpecBot review AI-generated Linear issues?
Yes. As teams use Linear's AI agents, Copilot, Cursor, or other tools to create issues at scale, SpecBot reviews each one before it enters a cycle. It flags missing context, vague scope, and unmet acceptance criteria in agent-created work the same way it does for human-written issues.
How strict can the quality gate be?
Teams can start with comment-only guidance and no disruption to existing workflow. When ready, you can switch to auto-enrichment or threshold-based flagging that surfaces low-quality tickets before they reach a sprint.
How much does SpecBot cost?
Every workspace starts free with 25 analyses/month. SpecBot Pro starts at $99/month for unlimited analysis, and SpecBot Team adds workspace-wide governance for larger teams. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard.
Start free, then unlock unlimited usage when you need it
One OAuth click. SpecBot starts reviewing issues immediately — no webhook setup, no @mention needed, no configuration required.
