# How to validate Linear issues against pull requests

> Ensure your pull request implements what the Linear issue describes by using AI-powered business logic validation.

Linear issues often contain detailed requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope definitions. Kodus can compare your PR against the Linear issue to catch gaps before merging.

## How it works

1. **Connect the Linear plugin** in your workspace's [Plugins](/how_to_use/en/code_review/plugins) page
2. Comment on your PR:

```
@kody -v business-logic https://linear.app/your-team/issue/TEAM-123
```

3. Kody fetches the Linear issue context, reads the PR diff, and produces a gap analysis

## What you get

* **Findings** with severity: MUST\_FIX, SUGGESTION, or INFO
* **Requirement tracing** — each finding quotes the exact text from the Linear issue
* **Scope mismatch detection** — if the PR is working in a different domain than the issue
* **Requirements Verified** — what was correctly implemented

## Automatic validation

When `business_logic: true` is enabled (default), Kody automatically retrieves task context from Linear during every PR review if the plugin is connected.

## Tips

* Write clear acceptance criteria in your Linear issues for the most thorough validation
* You can also paste requirements inline if you prefer not to link the issue:

```
