What it does
Install Lanes Desktop is an agent skill from lanes-sh/app. Use when installing, updating, or repairing the Lanes desktop app on a Mac, or when someone wants the Lanes issue board running for the first time. Triggers on "install Lanes", "set up Lanes", "get Lanes running", "download Lanes", "update Lanes", "Lanes won't open", or any request to connect an agent to a Lanes app that is not installed yet. Covers the Homebrew cask, first launch, adding a project, and handing off to /lanes:setup-mcp for the local MCP server.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol, Homebrew and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Run many CLI (Coding) Agents in parallel lanes: issues, worktrees, sessions, and loops on one board. The agentic development environment.
When your agent uses it
- Repairing the Lanes desktop app on a Mac
- Someone wants the Lanes issue board running for the first time
- Get Lanes running
- Lanes wont open
Example prompts
- “install Lanes”
- “set up Lanes”
- “get Lanes running”
- “/install-lanes-desktop”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Install it
- Point it at your code
- Connect your agent
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08a67bc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
brewclaudecurl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
lanes.sh
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Install Lanes Desktop loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 933 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 933 words (~1,650 tokens).
“Lanes is a native macOS app that puts every AI coding session on an issue board: each card is a task, and each task holds live agent terminals, its own git worktree, and the diff those agents produced.”
