Let your coding agent estimate Effort

Claude Code, Devin, Cursor or any agent that knows your repository reads the issue and the code, estimates the work, and tells Ranked with a comment, or sets the Linear estimate. You give it our ready-made instructions. Your code stays with your agent; it never passes through Ranked.
