Working with it
The row menu
Right-click a row for the Hub first, then where its session lives and what can start beside it, with the ways of keeping it quiet under Quiet and the rarer things under More.
The entries
The first entry is always the Hub. Below it come the entries that depend on where the session lives: a session LampBoard has no terminal into has Show in VS Code, or Show in the Claude app, and a conversation open in VS Code has Move to LampBoard….
| Entry | What it does |
|---|---|
| Open in the Hub | the session in the Hub, its terminal at the centre. ⌘ click does the same, on every row, here or on another machine |
| Show in VS Code, or Show in the Claude app | only for a session LampBoard has no terminal into: brings up the window or the app it lives in |
| Move to LampBoard… | on a conversation open in VS Code: takes it up in tmux on this Mac, in its own terminal in the Hub, with everything it remembers, so VS Code can stay closed. See the Hub |
| Start a new session in this folder | starts a session in the row's folder, on the row's machine, in tmux |
| New conversation in VS Code | a new conversation in the editor's window for that folder |
| Rename… | the name the panel shows, by folder. The session, its window and its folder keep their own names; leave the field empty to go back. |
| Hide | collects the row into the summary line, which still lights up when the row needs you |
| Quiet ▸ | the three ways of keeping one session quiet |
| More ▸ | everything else |
Quiet
Don't alert me silences the notifications for that project and not the colour. It appears once notifications are on.
Don't blink stops the movement and not the colour, on a row that is asking. Amber in peripheral vision is impossible to ignore, which is exactly what it is for, until you are working next to a session that has been waiting half an hour and you do not intend to answer yet.
Focus on this session puts it in the foreground and pins its row: while it is there the other sessions' alerts wait, and one notification says what waited when the focus comes off.
More
| Entry | What it does |
|---|---|
| Open without marking as read | the same as ⌥ click |
| Mark as unread | remedies one click too many, on a row at rest |
| Move up, Move down | the drag, in words |
| Show in Finder | opens the project's folder |
| Add a project rule for “repo”… | one line every session in that repository keeps to |
| Project rules | the rules already there; choosing one takes it off |
| Copy “claude attach …” | for a session started with claude --bg: copies the command that reopens it in a terminal |
| Use Sonnet until the window resets | on an Opus session (Haiku on a Sonnet one), with the helper |
Show in Finder and the project rules are not offered for a session on another machine.
Project rules
Add a project rule for “repo”… appears on a row whose session works in a git repository. It asks for one line, such as "every timestamp is stored in UTC", and every session working in that repository reads it with its next prompt, through the helper, as context the model gets and you do not see. A repository holds at most twenty. Project rules lists them; choosing one takes it off, and a session that was told about it is told it no longer applies. lampboard decide, decisions and undecide do the same from a terminal.
A lighter model until the window resets
Use Sonnet until the window resets (13:10) lowers that session one model from its next turn until the five-hour window comes back, then lets it go back on its own model. Choosing it again gives the model back sooner. Never offered for the session in focus, and it needs the helper. See usage left.
A conversation inside a project
Open a project that holds several sessions and each conversation gets a line of its own, with a shorter menu: Open in the Hub, Move up, Move down, Rename this conversation…, and two that are only there:
Remove this row is for a conversation that should not be there any more: a session that is somehow still on disk but that you cannot reach, reopen or close. It is not the same as hiding. A removed line is gone, and if that session ever speaks again it comes back on its own, which is the difference between cleaning up and forgetting. The register of removed lines survives restarts, so one does not quietly reappear three seconds later.
End this session… asks first, and names what it is about to end: the process and when it started. It acts only when the panel can find a live process for that session and prove it is the right one: it matches the recorded process identifier and its start time, so a number reused by an unrelated process cannot be killed by mistake. A Codex conversation has no process of its own to end, and the panel says so rather than ending the one they all share. It sends a polite termination signal, the same one a window close would send, so the session gets to write out what it was doing.
To empty the whole column at once, Clear the list is in Settings › About & help. It asks first, and each session comes back with its next signal.
