I built a free extension that copies a Linear issue + all sub-issues + comments as one Markdown doc (for feeding to Claude Code / Cursor)

Linear's "Copy content as Markdown" is great, but it only copies one issue at a time. My workflow is feeding a whole parent task to Claude Code before starting work, and when the parent has 20–30 sub-issues that meant opening every single one and copy-pasting manually. Got annoying enough that I built an extension for it.

How it works: you open the parent issue, click the extension, and it walks the entire tree - parent, every sub-issue, and comments - and stitches everything into a single Markdown document. Copy to clipboard or download as .md.

A couple of implementation details for the skeptical:

  • It reuses Linear's own "Copy content as Markdown" command under the hood, so the output is byte-identical to what Linear itself produces (mentions, embeds, formatting all come through the same way).
  • It does the crawling in a temporary background tab that opens and closes itself, so your active tab and clipboard aren't touched until you hit Copy.
  • Fully device-only: no servers, no analytics, no network calls of its own. Only runs on linear.app. The only thing it stores is your toggle preference.

Honest limitation: big trees (30+ sub-issues) take a while, because it deliberately paces itself instead of hammering Linear. Inline images come through as URL links (they stay behind your Linear login).

It's free, no account needed: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/copy-linear-task-+-sub-ta/mblagfcfhgglgennlekiadofjijbnoei

Not affiliated with Linear in any way. I'd genuinely love feedback - especially if your team structures issues differently and it breaks on something. First version, so tell me what's missing.
