Integrations
Catalyst integrates with external services via CLI tools and MCP servers. Each integration requires credentials in your secrets config.
GitHub
Section titled “GitHub”Pull request creation, code review, and repository management via the gh CLI.
Setup: brew install gh && gh auth login
No Catalyst-specific configuration needed — gh uses its own authentication.

PR-Linear Sync
Section titled “PR-Linear Sync”The sync-prs skill correlates GitHub PRs with Linear issues — matching via branch names and descriptions, identifying orphaned PRs and issues, and flagging stale PRs.
Worktree Integration
Section titled “Worktree Integration”Worktrees created with create-worktree automatically set up branches with ticket references (e.g., PROJ-123-feature-name).
Linear
Section titled “Linear”Ticket management and automatic status progression via the Linearis CLI.
Setup: npm install -g linearis + add apiToken and teamKey to secrets config.
Why CLI instead of MCP? Linearis uses ~1K tokens vs Linear MCP’s ~13K — a 13x reduction in context cost.

Automatic Status Updates
Section titled “Automatic Status Updates”Workflow skills automatically update Linear ticket status as you progress:
| Skill | Linear State |
|---|---|
research-codebase | In Progress |
create-plan | In Progress |
implement-plan | In Progress |
create-pr | In Review |
merge-pr | Done |
Customize state names via stateMap in your project config.
Ticket Detection
Section titled “Ticket Detection”Skills detect tickets automatically from plan frontmatter (ticket: PROJ-123), filenames, handoff documents, and worktree directory names.
Sentry
Section titled “Sentry”Production error monitoring via the catalyst-debugging plugin.
Setup: npm install -g @sentry/cli + add org, project, and authToken to secrets config.
Context cost: ~20K tokens when enabled. Enable only during debugging:
/plugin enable catalyst-debugging # +20K context/plugin disable catalyst-debugging # -20K contextRelated skills: debug-production-error, error-impact-analysis, trace-analysis
Research agent: sentry-research (Haiku) — gathers error data via Sentry CLI.
PostHog
Section titled “PostHog”Product analytics via the catalyst-analytics plugin.
Setup: Add apiKey and projectId to secrets config.
Context cost: ~40K tokens when enabled. Enable only when analyzing user behavior:
/plugin enable catalyst-analytics # +40K context/plugin disable catalyst-analytics # -40K contextRelated skills: analyze-user-behavior, segment-analysis, product-metrics
