# Investigate delivery context from the issue

Ask Warestack-Dev about a Linear issue, its linked pull requests, rule violations, and current team workload—without losing the planning context.

- Issue and thread context
- Linked pull request governance
- Read-only workload signals
- Human-confirmed assignment decisions

## Start with the work item, then follow the evidence

The agent receives the current issue and thread context, then uses Warestack’s synced data when the question needs delivery state.

1. **Ask from the issue**  
   Start a Warestack-Dev agent conversation on the Linear issue. The issue and available thread context define the scope of the question.

2. **Inspect linked delivery state**  
   Warestack can check linked pull requests, CI and review blockers, rule violations, repository status, or team attention using synced Warestack data.

3. **Decide with context**  
   The response separates what needs attention, why it matters, a suggested next step, and any missing data so you can make the decision.

## A capacity signal, not an automatic assignment

Warestack compares visible active work for linked team members and can suggest the person with the lowest current load. The result is a recommendation that needs your confirmation.

### Nothing is reassigned automatically

Review the recommendation, confirm ownership and availability, then make any assignment change in Linear yourself.

### Tracked workload score

Lower scores indicate less visible active work in the connected data.

- Authored open pull request: 3 points
- Assigned open pull request: 2 points
- Requested review: 1 point
- Active Linear issue: 2 points

Connected work signals · not a performance measure

## What the recommendation knows—and what it doesn’t

Useful capacity guidance depends on separating synchronized facts from human context that Warestack cannot see.

### Connected work

Open authored and assigned pull requests, requested reviews, and active synced Linear issues.

### Workspace team membership

Suggestions consider Warestack team members and the connected work that can be resolved to them. Missing provider links can make the tracked load incomplete.

### Human-only context

Calendar availability, PTO, unstaged or private work, priorities, and domain ownership are not inferred. Confirm them before assigning.
