What LampBoard can do

Every capability in one sentence, sorted by what you want rather than by where it lives, each with a way to try it or turn it on.

What LampBoard can do… is in the panel's ⋯ menu, in Settings › About & help, and in the bar. It is a catalogue sorted by what a person wants, not by component, and it marks what needs the helper.

Each line has one of three ways in:

Try does the gesture in your real panel: the bar opened on @, ?, week or /handoff, or the legend.
Turn on… opens the switch in Settings. When it is the helper's, the helper is installed first.
A place, when it is a gesture rather than a switch: which menu, which mark.

Answer sooner

	What it does	Helper
Quick answers	Allow or Deny a permission from the panel, without changing window. See what it asks for.	yes
Quick question	Ask a session something without interrupting it: `@name ?question` in ⌘K.	yes
Write to a session	`@name message` from ⌘K goes into the session's own box, or waits in its terminal in the Hub until you send it. See reading and writing.

Stay out of trouble

	What it does	Helper
Safety catch	While you are away, commands that delete, force-push or discard wait for you.	yes
File clash warning	Asked first when a session edits a file another one has just written; a ⚠ beside the row's name.	yes
Stuck mark	A dashed yellow lamp: one command has been running for a quarter of an hour.
Context left	The ring beside each lamp: how full the conversation is, and on which model.

Spend less

	What it does	Helper
Usage left and forecast	When your window runs out at this pace, and when it comes back. See usage left.
Save usage	One session on a lighter model until the window resets: a row's menu › More › Use Sonnet until the window resets.	yes

Work across sessions

	What it does	Helper
LampMaster	The reviewer: a look at every session once an hour, three suggestions at most. See LampMaster.
Ask LampMaster	«who renamed the slots endpoint?», with follow-ups: `?` in the bar.
Project rules	One decision, and every session in the repository keeps to it: a row's menu › More › Add a project rule.	yes
Hand over	Pass what one session knows to another: `/handoff @from @to` in the bar.
The Hub	Every session in one window, its own terminal at the centre, with the project's files beside it: ⌘ click on a row, or the panel's ⋯ › Open the Hub. See the Hub.
Live view	A session's own terminal in a window of its own, the one the Hub shows: the Hub's top-right button. Closing it leaves the session running. See the live view.
New session	Starts Claude Code in a folder, on this Mac or on another machine in tmux, and opens it in the Hub: the panel's ⋯ › New session….
Projects	Attach a folder, on this Mac or another machine, and start or resume its sessions in tmux from the Hub. See the Hub.

Step away

	What it does	Helper
I'm away	Nothing interrupts; back, one line says what the rows no longer show.
Focus	One session in front; the others wait their turn to alert you: a row's menu › Quiet › Focus on this session.
Spoken alerts	Hear «api is waiting for you» from across the room.
Alerts	Only when a session needs you or stops. See being told.

Look back and far

	What it does	Helper
Search every conversation	Find the conversation where you decided it. Ninety days, all on this Mac.
This week	Prompts, projects, and how long sessions waited for you: `week` in the bar.
Other machines	Sessions on another computer as rows, over your own ssh. See another machine.
Background sessions	Claude Code's sessions without a terminal are rows too, on their own.
