Coming from Shortcut
Import
The only delivery tool with native OKRs: Objective and Key Result map directly, no custom fields needed.
The structural finding
Shortcut's native Objective + Key Result layer means the UPG integration bridges shorter than Linear or Jira. The chain objective → key_result → epic → user_story is fully typed in both systems.
What UPG adds
The discovery layer above your OKRs: user opportunities and research evidence that explain why each objective was set.
Release context below your stories: the release each epic ships in.
Cross-domain traceability: from a Shortcut story → through the epic → to the outcome it serves.
Schema mapping
The key edge
The single most important semantic relationship this integration enables.
Defined in the UPG specification
Sample import
A Shortcut OKR + delivery chain: Objective → Epic → Stories
Roundtrip
Import OKRs and epics → add discovery context in UPG → push opportunity and outcome links back to Shortcut via API.
- ·Opportunity descriptions added to Shortcut epic descriptions
- ·Outcome links surfaced in epic metadata
- ·Research evidence notes added to epics as linked documents
How to import your Shortcut data
The Shortcut adapter is built and tested. A one-command import via the UPG CLI is in development:
This will fetch your Shortcut data, map entity types automatically, and write everything to your graph. Today you can use the Markdown import or the adapter directly in code.
▸ For developers: use the adapter directly
Get started
The Shortcut adapter ships in @unified-product-graph/adapters. Install it, then run the import command.
$ npm install -g unified-product-graph
# then import
$ upg import --from notion
