# Sync Issues to Linear

Sync GitHub issues to Linear workspace with intelligent field mapping: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Current Repository Context

- Repository: !`gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner 2>/dev/null || echo "No repo context"`
- Issue count: !`gh issue list --state all --limit 1 --json number | jq length 2>/dev/null || echo "Check manually"`
- Linear teams: Available Linear teams and project assignments
- Rate limits: !`gh api rate_limit -q '.rate | "GitHub: \(.remaining)/\(.limit)"' 2>/dev/null`

## Task

Execute comprehensive synchronization of GitHub issues to Linear workspace:

**Sync Scope**: Use $ARGUMENTS to filter by issue state, labels, assignees, milestones, or specific issue sets

**Synchronization Framework**:
1. **Issue Discovery** - Fetch GitHub issues with comprehensive metadata, apply filters, validate requirements
2. **Field Mapping** - Transform GitHub fields to Linear format, map priorities, convert labels, handle assignees
3. **Data Validation** - Check required fields, validate user mappings, ensure data integrity, prevent duplicates
4. **Linear Integration** - Create tasks with proper formatting, apply team assignments, set projects, manage relationships
5. **Rate Limit Management** - Implement exponential backoff, batch operations, monitor API limits, optimize requests
6. **Progress Tracking** - Provide real-time updates, handle errors gracefully, maintain sync state, generate reports

**Advanced Features**: Smart priority inference, intelligent user mapping, incremental sync capabilities, comprehensive error recovery.

**Data Integrity**: Preserve formatting, maintain metadata, create bidirectional references, ensure audit trails.

**Output**: Complete synchronization results with success metrics, error reports, mapping summaries, and comprehensive sync analytics.
