Outer Sunset

What it does

Outer Sunset is an interactive MCP App that transforms your editor into a command center. It renders a live visual board of your engineering workflow, pulling real data from Linear and GitHub to show issues, PRs, and CI status without leaving the IDE.

Key features

• Live Visual Dashboard: Grouped view of Linear issues and GitHub PRs with auto-refresh and highlight changes.
• Attention System: Automatically surfaces PRs awaiting review, failing CI checks, or stale issues.
• Conflict Detection: Warns you when multiple open PRs touch the same file before you merge.
• Context Continuity: Use "catch me up" to restore your active task and session state in a new chat.
• Agentic Actions: Allows the AI to start tasks in Linear or request GitHub reviews (when enabled).
