Get codebase context for new Linear issues
Give a new issue a useful first pass through Devin. Notis asks about the repository named in the issue and brings back a grounded answer.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
New issues can sit while someone switches tools to find the right repository and investigate how the code works.
- Reduce the time between issue creation and useful technical context.
- Keep the investigation tied to the repository named in the issue.
- Surface missing repository details instead of guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Devin MCP once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe the outcome: ask Devin how the named repository relates to the new issue, and report when no repository is identifiable.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Created trigger, choose a run report destination, and test with one real issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow choose a repository for me?
No. It asks Devin only when the issue identifies a repository clearly; otherwise it reports that repository context is missing.
What does Devin return?
Devin's Ask question action returns an AI-powered, context-grounded response about the specified GitHub repository.
