title: 'Simplest setup'
description: 'One command on one machine turns a Linear issue into a pull request — the minimal on-ramp before the full Factory.'
---

Before the full [Factory](/docs/factory/quickstart) — triage, multiple agents, a reviewer, and a merge gate — there's a one-command version you can run on a single machine (a Mac mini, your laptop, a sandbox). A new issue comes in, one agent implements it and opens a PR. You review and merge.

This is the fastest way to feel the loop. Graduate to the full Factory when you want review agents, a babysitter that keeps PRs green, and a merge gate.

## What you need

- **relayfile ≥ 0.10.57** — `npm i -g relayfile` (check with `relayfile --version`).
- Linear and GitHub connected to your relay workspace:

```bash
relayfile integration connect linear
relayfile integration connect github
```

The first `connect` runs an initial background sync of your existing issues — leave it running until `relayfile status` shows the provider `healthy`. You don't need the full backfill to finish before the next step; a *new* issue shows up within ~30s of being filed.

P1 Badge Wait for the backfill before arming the listener

On a workspace whose initial backfill is still running, following this instruction causes the subsequent file.created listener to receive newly materialized /linear/issues/by-uuid/* records for historical issues. The event contract in web/content/docs/file/events.mdx states that sync changes surface as events, so the unconditional --run can launch agents and open PRs for every old ticket still being backfilled; require backfill completion or explicitly filter initial-sync events before proceeding.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

- On the machine that runs it: **`claude` and `gh` installed and signed in**, and you launch the command **from inside the repo** you want worked on (so the agent has the right working directory and push access).

<Note>
This local path uses your machine's `claude` and `gh`. The full [Factory](/docs/factory/quickstart) instead opens PRs through your workspace's GitHub connection — no local `gh` required — and adds triage, a reviewer, and a merge gate. That's the reason to graduate once this feels useful, not the reason to skip it now.
</Note>

## The one command

Run this from inside your repo. When a new Linear issue is filed, one agent implements it and opens a PR:

```bash
relayfile listen --path "/linear/issues/by-uuid/**" --event file.created \

P1 Badge Deduplicate replayed events before spawning agents

When delivery is retried or the listener reconnects, this direct --run can execute more than once for the same issue because Relayfile's event feed is documented as at-least-once in web/content/docs/file/events.mdx. Scoping to by-uuid prevents one issue's different alias files from matching, but it does not provide exactly-once delivery, so a replay can start another Claude process and open a duplicate PR; place a durable eventId deduplication guard in front of the agent action rather than claiming it fires once.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

--run "claude --print --dangerously-skip-permissions \
'Read the new Linear issue with: relayfile read {{path}} — then implement it, \
create a branch, commit, push, and open a PR with: gh pr create --fill'"

Make both listener workflows idempotent.

Relayfile delivers events at least once and replays missed events after reconnect. A repeated file.created event can run either command again. The path filters limit matches, but they do not deduplicate delivery. Each replay can start another agent run and PR creation. (agentrelay.com)

  • web/content/docs/factory/simplest-setup.mdx#L32-L35: invoke an idempotent wrapper that persists eventId handling and claims the Linear issue before starting Claude.
  • web/content/docs/factory/simplest-setup.mdx#L42-L42: remove the claim that by-uuid guarantees one execution per issue.
  • web/content/docs/factory/simplest-setup.mdx#L49-L50: use the same idempotent wrapper for the status-gated listener.
  • web/content/docs/factory/simplest-setup.mdx#L53-L53: state that entering the status triggers processing subject to deduplication, not exactly once.

site:code.claude.com/docs/en/permission-modes dangerously-skip-permissions prompt injection protection sandbox

💡 Result:

The dangerously-skip-permissions mode (also known as bypassPermissions) is a configuration option in Claude Code that disables interactive permission prompts and safety checks for tool calls [1]. When enabled, tool calls execute immediately without requiring user confirmation, which removes the standard "human-in-the-loop" safeguard intended to mitigate risks like prompt injection or unintended model actions [1]. Key security implications include: 1. Absence of Protection: This mode offers no protection against prompt injection or malicious instructions that might trick an LLM into performing unauthorized actions on the host system [1]. 2. Built-in Circuit Breakers: Even in this mode, specific critical operations—such as attempts to delete sensitive system paths like the filesystem root (/) or home directory (~)—will still trigger a prompt as a final circuit breaker against model error [1]. 3. Sandbox Behavior: The permission check is automatically bypassed when the environment is running inside a recognized sandbox [1]. 4. Cloud Security: When using Claude Code in a cloud environment (e.g., Claude Code on the web), the system ignores settings that request bypassPermissions to prevent repositories from forcing a session into an insecure state [1]. 5. Administrative Control: Administrators have the ability to explicitly disable the use of bypassPermissions mode across an organization via managed settings [1]. For workflows that require fewer interruptions but maintain security, the documentation recommends using auto mode instead, which provides background safety checks while minimizing the frequency of user prompts [1].

Do not use bypass mode for provider-controlled issue text.

  • A Linear user can inject instructions into content sent to Claude. --dangerously-skip-permissions removes normal approval prompts and prompt-injection protection. Run this workflow only in a dedicated sandbox with restricted filesystem, network, and repository credentials. Otherwise, remove the flag and require approval.
  • Do not claim the listener runs once per issue. Relayfile delivers events at least once, and this command has no durable eventId deduplication. Repeated events can create multiple branches or pull requests. Add deduplication or document that runs can repeat.

`Ctrl+C` to stop. Add `--background` to detach it (logs to `~/.relayfile/listen.log`).

### Why `by-uuid` and not `--provider linear`?

A single new issue materializes several files in the tree (`by-uuid`, `by-id`, `by-title`, `by-state/…`, plus indexes). Scoping the listener to the canonical `by-uuid` record fires the agent **once per issue** instead of once per file. Matching on `--provider linear` alone would run the agent — and open a PR — several times for one issue.

## Only act on a specific status

Prefer a human gate — act only when an issue reaches, say, a "Ready for Agent" column — instead of on every new issue. Scope to that status view:

```bash
relayfile listen --path "/linear/issues/by-state/ready-for-agent/**" --event file.created \
--run "claude --print --dangerously-skip-permissions '…same prompt as above…'"
```

This fires once when an issue is created in **or** moved into that status. Use your own status's slug (lowercase, hyphenated); list what's available with `relayfile tree /linear/issues/by-state`.

## Watch first, no agent

To confirm events land before wiring in `--run`:

```bash
relayfile listen --provider linear
```

You'll see `Listening on /linear/** — Ctrl+C to stop`, then events print as they arrive. See [Events](/docs/file/events) for the full event model.
