Passing Issues
Pass issues from Linear, Jira, or GitHub directly to agents
Krabby connects to Linear, Jira, and GitHub Issues. Pass issues from your tracker directly to agents. The issue title, description, and metadata become part of the agent's prompt.
How It Works
- Create a new task
- Click Advanced Options
- Select an issue from the dropdown (searchable by ID, title, or assignee)
- Start the task
The agent receives the full issue context and begins working immediately.

Auto-Closing Issues
When you create a PR from a task that has a linked issue, Krabby automatically closes the associated GitHub or Linear issue by default. This only applies to issues that were passed to the task at creation time.
If your workflow closes issues later, after environment testing, deployment, or customer approval, you can disable this in Settings → Repository → Auto-close linked issues on PR creation.
