What it does

Setup Lanes Link is an agent skill from lanes-sh/app. Use when installing or standing up Lanes Link, the self-hostable MCP endpoint that gives an agent someone's own accounts, memory, tasks, assets, skills, identity and vault. Triggers on "set up Lanes Link", "install Lanes Link", "connect my Gmail/Calendar/Notion to Claude", "one MCP for all my accounts", "lanes link start", "lanes link connect", a 401 from a Lanes Link endpoint, or an empty tool list after registering one. Covers the CLI install, sign-in, workspace choice, profiles and members, connecting…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. It works with Model Context Protocol, Gmail and Notion. 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.

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:

    • bun

    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
    • bun.com
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LANES_LINK_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Setup Lanes Link loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 1,256 words (~2,262 tokens).

“Lanes Link is one MCP endpoint the user runs themselves. Behind it sit the accounts they connect (Gmail, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Slack, and over a hundred more) plus material that is theirs rather than an account: memory, tasks, assets, skills…”
