## AI overview

This tutorial explains how to manage AI coding tasks through a Linear board connected to Claude Code with MCP. A CLAUDE.md file defines the workflow, enabling the agent to read tickets, implement changes, run builds, review code, and open pull requests. The approach depends on clear tickets and provides status visibility as the number of tasks grows.
