Linear Bootstrap runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 39 installs a week from npm. Last commit 11 Mar 2026.
Bootstrap Linear projects from natural language — milestones, epics, issues, and dependencies.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Linear Bootstrap every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
