  "account": "Lumpcode is a git-first loop manager, a CLI that runs long agent campaigns over a developer's own repository in reviewable slices. Git serves as the gate, with each campaign consisting of one PR at a time. A lump represents a single campaign within the .lumpcode/lumps/ directory, with each lump corresponding to one branch and one pull request. The dedicated-daemon path involves setting up a separate clone of the repository on a remote machine, running the scheduler and waiting for lumps to land on the primary branch. The worker picks up the lump, processes it, and moves on to the next one. The setup process involves installing the lumpcode skill, configuring the agent CLI, and setting up the dedicated mode. Once the dedicated clone is running, the user can create a lump using the lump-create command and plan the tick using lump-plan. After reviewing the plan, the lump can be merged to the primary branch, at which point the dedicated daemon will fetch the branch and start processing the lump.",
  "summary": "Lumpcode is a git-first loop manager : a small CLI that runs long agent campaigns over your own repo, in reviewable slices. Git is the gate (one PR at a time) and the source of truth (what is left is read from remote history, not a distant database). You describe the campaign once, merge what is good, and the next tick continues with the rest. A lump is one campaign under .lumpcode/lumps/<name>/…",
