What SpecBot does
SpecBot checks every Linear issue before implementation and flags the missing context most likely to cause a wasted agent run, incorrect implementation, or review churn.
AI coding-agent readiness for Linear issues
Don't let your coding agent guess.
SpecBot checks whether every Linear issue contains enough context for an engineer or AI coding agent to implement correctly before work begins.
Free for 25 readiness checks/month · No credit card required · Plans from $5/seat/mo

Know when an issue is ready for implementation
SpecBot fits inside the Linear workflow your team already uses. No extra tools or manual review — just a readiness check before an engineer or coding agent starts work.
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.
🤖
Ready for your coding agent
Review issues created by Linear agents, Copilot, or Cursor before implementation. Catch vague AI-generated context before an agent has to guess.
⚙️
Clear readiness verdicts
Choose comment only, auto-enrich, or quality-gate flagging below threshold. Fix the issue, then re-run before delegation.
📊
Simple dashboard
Track readiness checks, average readiness score, not-ready issues, recurring gaps, and usage.

From Linear issue to implementation-ready
01
Install
Connect SpecBot to your Linear workspace with one OAuth click and keep your current workflow intact.
02
Check readiness
SpecBot reviews every new issue, returns READY or NOT READY, and surfaces the context an implementation agent is missing.
03
Delegate confidently
Fix the issue, re-run the check, and then hand a ready issue to an engineer or coding agent.
What SpecBot is, who it helps, and why teams use it
Who SpecBot helps
Engineering leads and AI-native teams use SpecBot to know which human- or agent-created issues are ready for implementation.
Why teams install it
A clear readiness verdict helps teams fix ambiguity before handing work to an engineer, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot.
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 readiness score, READY / NOT READY verdict, flagged gaps, 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 checks eight readiness signals: clear problem and expected behavior, acceptance criteria and definition of done, edge cases, technical context, dependencies, bug reproduction steps, and scope clarity. Each issue gets a readiness score and a READY / NOT READY verdict.
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 quality-gate flagging below your readiness threshold. SpecBot does not claim to block an external coding agent.
How much does SpecBot cost?
Every workspace starts free with 25 readiness checks/month. Paid plans start at $5/seat/mo and are billed per active Linear seat. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard.
Don't let your coding agent guess
One OAuth click. SpecBot starts reviewing issues immediately — no webhook setup, no @mention needed. New Linear issues are checked automatically before implementation begins.
