Show HN: Drawbar – boring linear based workflows for Claude Code

A developer released Drawbar, a plugin for Claude Code that implements linear-based workflows with an accumulating knowledge base, inspired by projects like Beads, Lavra, and Linear-beads. The tool is opinionated and currently used only by its creator, who notes it relies on the slower Linear MCP instead of the CLI.

I had been using Beads and it was really buggy and tailored to a workflow with much higher throughput than I found desirable. I work more slowly than that. I saw some other cool projects lavra and linear-beads, credieted in my repo readme which added an accumulating knowledge base and linear to the beads concept, so I just stole both ideas and put them into a plugin for myself. I have been dogfooding it for a couple of days. It works pretty well but I'm the only user and it's opinionated around how I like to do things. It also uses the linear MCP which is way slower and less token-efficient than the linear CLI on homebrew. I might update it in the future. If this appeals to you, check it out.
