What SpecBot does
SpecBot reviews new issues in connected Linear teams when readiness checks are enabled, and flags missing context that can lead to wasted agent runs, incorrect implementation, or review churn.
AI coding-agent readiness for Linear issues
Don't let your coding agent guess.
SpecBot reviews new issues in connected Linear teams when enabled, and shows engineers and AI coding agents what context is missing.

Know when an issue is ready for implementation
SpecBot fits inside the Linear workflow your team already uses. No extra tools — 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.
Quality gates your team controls

Simple, transparent pricing
Start free with 25 readiness checks/month, including one correction recheck per issue when enabled in settings. Paid plans are a flat monthly price per workspace — no per-seat fees. The monthly check allowance is what differs between tiers.

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
New issues in connected teams are reviewed automatically when readiness checks are enabled. Mention @SpecBot to review an existing issue; rechecks after edits depend on workspace settings and plan.
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
How does the first issue review start?
When issue readiness is enabled, SpecBot reviews new issues in connected Linear teams and posts a score, READY / NOT READY verdict, and suggested next steps on the issue. To review an existing issue, mention @SpecBot. Rechecks after edits depend on your workspace settings and plan. The verdict guides your team; it does not prevent work from starting.
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 $29/mo as a flat monthly price per workspace — no per-seat fees. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard.
Don't let your coding agent guess
One OAuth click, then enable readiness checks for connected teams. New issues are reviewed automatically when enabled; mention @SpecBot to review an existing issue. No webhook setup is needed.
