Integrations

Start chats straight from Linear and GitHub issues, and let Dices create a GitHub repo for a new empty folder.

Dices plugs into the tools where your work already lives. Start a chat seeded from a Linear issue or a GitHub issue, and let Dices offer to create a GitHub repo when you point it at an empty folder.

Linear

Connect Linear and Dices can list your assigned issues and seed a new chat with the one you pick — so the agent starts with the issue’s context already in hand.

Setup

1. Generate a Linear personal API key in your Linear account settings.
2. In Dices, open Settings → Linear and add the key.

Start from an issue

1. Choose “Start from an issue” — either from the relevant menu or via the command palette (⌘K / Ctrl K).
2. Dices lists the issues assigned to you in Linear.
3. Pick an issue.
4. Dices seeds a new chat with the picked issue, ready for the agent to work on.

Tip: Because the chat is seeded with the issue, you can go straight to “build it” — no copy-pasting the title, description, or acceptance criteria.

GitHub Issues

GitHub Issues integration works through the gh CLI, so it uses the GitHub auth you already have set up on your machine.

Setup

Make sure the gh CLI is installed and authenticated. Once gh can talk to GitHub, Dices can read the active repo’s issues.

Start from a GitHub issue

1. Choose “Start from a GitHub issue” (also reachable from the command palette, ⌘K / Ctrl K).
2. Dices lists the active repo’s open issues.
3. Pick an issue.
4. Dices seeds a chat with that issue so the agent can get to work.

Note: GitHub Issues are scoped to the active repo (the Folder/project you’re working in), while Linear lists the issues assigned to you.

GitHub repo creation

When you add an empty folder to Dices, it can offer to create a new GitHub repo for it — a quick way to take a fresh idea from a bare directory to a tracked project.

1. Add an empty folder as a project in Dices.
2. Dices detects that it’s empty and offers to create a new GitHub repo.
3. Accept, and your new project is wired up to GitHub from the start.

Tip: This pairs naturally with Brainstorm → Build — start from an empty folder, brainstorm the idea, let Dices create the repo, then build.
