⌨️ Lancetta how-to #5 — let your agents check the room before a long task

⌨️ Lancetta’s advice isn’t only for the menu bar. Since 0.61.0 it’s also a command, and your agents can use it.

Three commands, installed with one click in Settings › General › Command line:

lancetta statusline
lancetta advice
lancetta usage --json

📟 statusline: one line for Claude Code’s status line or your prompt, both windows and then the suggestion that matters.
🧠 advice: the most urgent suggestion as plain text, or nothing. Perfect for a session-start hook, so every session begins knowing the room left.
🧾 usage --json: everything, for tmux, SketchyBar or a script.
🤖 And an Agent Skill for Claude Code and Codex: before a long task they check the room left and tell you in one sentence.

They read what Lancetta last saw, never an agent: no keychain, no dialog, no request to your account.
