|---|---|---|
| Create issue | Switch apps → navigate → fill form (~2 min) | Describe in chat → created (~15 sec) |
| Check sprint status | Open Linear → filter → scan board (~3 min) | "Show sprint progress" → summary (~10 sec) |
| Reassign + reprioritize | Find issue → edit fields → save (~1 min) | "Assign to X, set urgent" → done (~10 sec) |
| Query open bugs | Build filter → sort → review (~2 min) | "List open bugs by priority" → list (~10 sec) |
