How DevSignal works

Your code and your plans, in one view.

GitHub is the source of truth — what your team actually shipped. Linear is the plan — what was meant to ship. DevSignal cross-references them so you read the gap, not the noise. Scroll to see how — the stage on the left changes as you read.

The thesis

Two streams. One honest view of the week.

Every engineering team already produces two parallel records: the code (PRs, reviews, commits) and the plan (tickets, cycles, comments). They drift apart constantly — work that shipped without a ticket, tickets that nobody is touching, sprints that quietly slipped. DevSignal connects both streams via their official APIs, then writes the honest paragraph nobody on your team has time to. No data is moved, nothing is duplicated.

01 · The stakeholder layer

Reports turn a week of activity into a paragraph.

One-click developer, team, and sprint reports. DevSignal pulls the activity, the threads, and the decisions, then writes a structured summary you can paste into a 1:1 doc, a stakeholder update, or a retro — cited every time.

Per-developer · per-team · per-sprint summaries

02 · The cadence layer

Daily Digest posts your team's week to Slack, on schedule.

Set a channel, a cadence, and a report style once. DevSignal posts the same cited paragraph from Reports to Slack at the time you pick — so stakeholders read it where they already are, not in a tab they forgot to open.

Cadence
Daily · weekly · per-sprint — pick per automation
Flavors
Sprint-aware (Linear cycle progress) · activity (GitHub-only)
Delivers in
Slack channel of your choice · DMs to reviewers (optional)
03 · The answer layer

Smart Search answers any question, with citations.

Ask "why did the auth refactor slip" — get the timeline from GitHub, the decision from Linear, the conversation from Slack, in one paragraph. Every claim links back to the source.

Asks
Anything across the three tools — natural language
Returns
Cited paragraphs · conversation history · shareable permalinks
Grounds in
Real PRs, issues, and threads — never trained on your data
04 · The detection layer Beta

Signals & Sprint — the gap between plan and code, flagged.

When something drifts — a review stalled, a sprint burning faster than expected, a P0 with no movement, a goal-relevant issue that hasn't been touched — DevSignal turns it into a signal. Sprint board pins the active cycle's goal and scores each issue against it. Both are in beta as we calibrate against real team activity.

Sees
PR review state · issue transitions · cycle burn · sprint-goal relevance
Flags
Priority drift · flow risk · sprint slippage · goal-irrelevant work
Status
Beta — being tuned against beta-team activity, expect tighter thresholds over time
