Create Linear issues from Slack issue messages

Capture Slack messages marked [Issue] as Linear issues in your chosen team. The complete message becomes the issue title; its description includes the source channel link, author ID and timestamp. Connect Slack and Linear, select the channel to watch, and browse to the destination Linear team. [Issue] is prefilled and matches anywhere in a message without case sensitivity; bot messages, edits and deletions are ignored. Matching human thread replies also create issues. Add FastHook to the source channel before activation. Leaving Channels empty watches every channel accessible to that account. This imports only new matching messages after activation, without files or thread history. Slack mentions and formatting are copied as supplied; keep messages short and use plain text. This is one-way issue capture without comment or status synchronization. No assignee or project is chosen by the template. Source text becomes visible to members with access to the destination team. Includes its own fictional English Bremen example with German characters. Manual reruns may create duplicate issues.
