What Linear data does Rig sync?

Issues, Projects and Teams. Each issue carries its current state, team, project, assignee, priority and its created, updated and completed timestamps.

Can Rig measure lead time from Linear?

Yes. Issue timestamps give you lead time and throughput by team or project. Time spent in each state needs issue history, which this connector does not sync, so the warehouse holds each issue's current state rather than a change log.

Can I query Linear data in Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Once Linear is synced to your warehouse, Rig serves it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI tools over MCP.

How often does Linear data refresh?

Rig Ingest syncs on a schedule you set. Issues merge on their ID, so an issue that moves through states updates in place rather than accumulating a row per sync.

How Linear connects to Rig

Rig Ingest syncs your Linear issues, projects and teams into your warehouse on a schedule. Each issue carries its current state, team, project, assignee and priority, along with the created, updated and completed timestamps that make throughput and lead time answerable.

Read the step-by-step Linear setup guide

Measure issue lead time and throughput

Lead time is the elapsed time from an issue being created to being completed. Rig reads issue timestamps and current state, so you can see median lead time, how many issues each team completes per month, and what is still open.

Ask Rig

What was median lead time for issues completed last month?
How many issues did each team complete this quarter?
Which issues are still open and were created more than a month ago?

Monitor backlog health and aging issues

By reading Linear states, teams and timestamps, Rig surfaces how the backlog is growing, which issues are stale, and how triage keeps up with incoming work. Product leads use it to keep the backlog honest.

Ask Rig

How many open issues are in the backlog by team and priority?
Which open issues have not been updated in 30 days?
Is the backlog growing or shrinking month over month?

Track project delivery against target dates

Linear projects carry a start date, a target date and a completion date. Rig joins them to the issues underneath, so you can see which projects are slipping, how much work is still open on each, and how delivery compares to what was planned.

Ask Rig

Which projects are past their target date and still open?
How many open issues are on each project in flight?
Show projects completed last quarter against their target dates

Ask your Linear data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Rig serves your Linear data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Linear is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL.
