Suggested slug patterns
Battle-tested shortcut conventions for Linear, with notes on why each one survives the URL changes that break personal bookmarks.
Active cycle for the engineering team.
Same daily-usage pattern as Jira’s b/sprint; works across teams that have rolling cycles.
Linear’s triage inbox.
Eng managers and on-call check this multiple times a day; saving the URL beats navigating sidebars.
Roadmap view across active projects.
Stakeholders outside engineering need this URL constantly. Bookmarks for non-engineers always go stale.
Filter for "Assigned to me, not done."
Every engineer wants their own queue, but the URL is awkward. b/my-issues works the same in every browser.
Active projects across the workspace.
PMs and engineering directors review this weekly.
Pattern for sharing a specific issue (e.g., b/issue-eng-1234).
Used in Slack threads instead of pasting the long Linear URL — readable and short.
Common workflows
Linear’s triage view requires a sidebar click + a filter selection. b/triage skips the navigation entirely. Eng managers reach the queue from anywhere — Slack, Notion, the address bar — in two keystrokes.
b/roadmap is the URL the COO and head of marketing memorise. The underlying Linear view can change formats (timeline → list → kanban) without any of them re-bookmarking. The slug travels with the team’s evolving roadmap process.
Replace 80-character Linear URLs with b/issue-eng-1234. The slug renders inline in Slack as a clean chip; the destination is preserved in the audit log.
With and without
Without shortcuts
Stakeholders ping engineering managers weekly for the roadmap link. Every engineer has their own bookmarks for triage and active cycle. Onboarding starts with sidebar tutorials.
With BookSlash
Five team-wide slugs (b/cycle, b/triage, b/roadmap, b/projects, b/my-issues) replace the bookmark tax for everyone — engineers, PMs, designers, leadership.
Frequently asked
No. Linear’s shortcuts work inside Linear; BookSlash slugs work from anywhere a URL bar exists (every browser, Raycast, Spotlight, Slack). Most engineers use both: Linear shortcuts for navigation inside the app, BookSlash slugs to reach Linear from outside.
Make the Linear issue publicly viewable in Linear’s settings, then point a slug like b/issue-public-456 at it. The slug carries no auth; access is governed by Linear’s own share rules.
Yes. Most teams point b/cycle at the "Current cycle" view, which Linear keeps current automatically. For per-cycle archives, use b/cycle-q4-2026 patterns.
Yes. Install the BookSlash Raycast extension and slugs resolve from the launcher with the same ergonomic Linear users already love. Your team can mix-and-match: Linear shortcuts inside Linear, BookSlash slugs for everything else.
Start with one team. Roll out when it sticks.
