Why this helps
A comment can ask a question that requires finding a spec in a separate tool before responding.
- Reduces the time spent locating supporting specs.
- Helps responders use existing written context.
- Keeps comment follow-up moving with less searching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gist to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to use the issue and comment terms to find likely Gist specs and summarize matches.
- 4Choose the Linear Comment Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a comment that mentions a distinctive spec or feature.
Questions about this workflow
Will it decide which spec is authoritative?
