A Linear webhook fires when an issue event occurs.\n2. The workflow filters for newly created issues only.\n3. The issue title and description are composed into an agent prompt.\n4. CloudCLI fetches the target environment details (including its live access URL).\n5. The AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor CLI, or Codex) runs the task.\n6. The agent's output, VS Code/Cursor deep links, SSH resume command, and environment URL are posted back to Linear as a comment.\n\n### Set up steps\n1. Install the CloudCLI verified community node from the n8n nodes panel.\n2. Connect your Linear account credentials.\n3. Connect your CloudCLI API credentials (get your key at [cloudcli.ai](https://cloudcli.ai)).\n4. Select which CloudCLI environment to use in the \"Get Environment Details\" node.\n5. Customize the prompt template in \"Compose Agent Prompt\" to fit your codebase.\n\n### Requirements\n- Linear account\n- CloudCLI account with API key ([cloudcli.ai](https://cloudcli.ai))\n- A running CloudCLI environment with your repo cloned\n\n### Need Help?\n[n8n Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) | [n8n Forum](https://community.n8n.io/) | [CloudCLI Docs](https://developer.cloudcli.ai)"
