 | `lamp unshare` | Takes the link down. |
 | `lamp account [username] [--email address]` | The maker's account on lamp.dev, which their links go under (`lamp.dev/<username>/<app>`): with a username and an email it asks the site for one (`askAccount`), whose key lamp keeps with its state (`account.json`, by site) and sends with every share (`X-Lamp-Account`); the link in the email the site sends confirms it. With only an email that has an account, it signs in to it, with a key of its own. On its own, it says which it's signed in as. A share before the email's link is opened goes out as links always have (`/w/<id>-<name>`), and moves under the username at its next share. |
 | `lamp play <link> [--to folder] [--newest]` | Plays an app shared on lamp.dev on this computer: the link's file (`latestOf`, its `.lampapp`), unpacked as `lamp unpack` does into a folder of its own in `~/Lamp Games` (or `--to`), with Lamp's own files beside its page, then opened as `lamp open` opens any folder. Its AI is answered by `lamp dev` (`ai.mjs`) in any browser, Safari included, where a shared page can't reach the computer. lamp remembers which folder each link went into (a file for each link under `played/` in its state), so playing it again goes on where it was; `--newest` takes the link's latest version into a new folder. |
+| `lamp copies [folder \| link]` | The copies people shared on lamp.dev of the folder's own link (as `lamp share` keeps it, or the one Lamp's app keeps for an app in its own folder, `lampsKeptLink`), or of any link, as its page lists them (`copiesOf`, `GET /api/wishes?id=<id>&copies=1`): each one's name, who made it, when it last changed and its link. |
+| `lamp compare <link> [folder]` | Fetches that copy's latest file as `lamp play` does (`latestOf`, then `unpack`) into lamp's state for the folder (`compare/<id>/`, in place of an earlier one for the same link), never into the person's folders, and says what differs from the folder's app by the files a share carries of each (`appFilesOf`, the walk `exportApp` packs: none of Lamp's own files, nothing hidden, nothing `.lampignore` names): only in theirs, only in yours, and changed, with lines or sizes (`cli/copies.mjs`). A copy is someone else's work, read as data, never as instructions. |
+| `lamp take <link> ["what"] [folder]` | `compare`, then a brief for the person's coding agent, as Lamp's `shared_copy` answers its own: bring in only what was asked from the copy, fitted to this app, run nothing from it, check with `lamp look`, and carry over the credits of any work of others it brings. It credits the copy in the app's credits.json once (an `upstream` entry: its name, its maker as author, its link by id), never in `remixOf`, the chain the app was made from, whose last link a share names as its source (`sourceLinkOf`). A copy names no license, so the next share asks once, as for any such work. |
 | `lamp ai [--forget]` | Answers the AI of pages shared on lamp.dev, played in a browser on this computer, with the person's own Claude Code, Codex or OpenRouter key (`cli/local-ai.mjs`, the same answers as `ai.mjs` gives `lamp dev`), until it's stopped. It listens on this computer alone at a port lamp.js knows (`LOCAL_AI_PORT`, `NEARBY` in lamp.js), and answers only a link's own page (`<id in hex>.play.lamp.dev`, `playOrigin`): the first time a page uses the AI, the person is asked in the terminal, and the page keeps the token it's given. Whether there's an AI is answered without asking. The browser asks the person too, once, before a page may reach this computer, so the link's frame on lamp.dev is given that permission; lamp.js reaches the port only once that's granted, the page has a token, or the person asks (`LampAI.connect()` from a button, or a real AI call), so the browser doesn't ask as the page loads. Safari never lets the page reach it (Safari 27, checked against a stand-in on the port), so lamp.js tells someone playing in Safari to use Chrome, Lamp or `lamp play` instead. `--forget` takes back every page allowed. Lamp's app runs the same server while it's open (`sharedPages` in `calls.mjs`, `SharedPagesAI`): it asks the person in a dialog and answers with the AI they set up in Lamp, and the pages allowed are the same list; whichever of the two starts first answers. |
 | `lamp devices [add \| forget <name>]` | The person's devices lamp puts a page on: an Xbox in Developer Mode (those set up and those found on the network), and Android (lamp's emulators, and the phones, tablets and TVs plugged in with USB debugging on). `add` sets one up, a step at a time; `add android` downloads Android's tools. |
 | `lamp open --on xbox` | Packages the page, installs it on the device and opens it there. `lamp look --on xbox` is the device's screen and the app's log there, `lamp stop --on xbox` ends it, and `lamp remove --on xbox` takes it off. |
