Use /queue-status-lite when several tasks are in flight at once and you want a single view of all of them. It is the read side of the multi-plan surface: the --name writers (Run a named plan) drive one task; this glance shows them all. It only reads: it shows you the queue and leaves every decision — what to work, review, or merge — to you.

1. Run the glance from the project's repo. Invoke /queue-status-lite. It takes no arguments: agentm resolves the project from the working directory.

2. Read the dashboard. One entry per active task — its name (042-build-the-brief), its status from its tracker, and the last line of its progress log. Tasks whose tracker says done or dropped are left out. In a repo with no vault, the rows are its repo-local plans, which agentm keeps in .harness/. The output is agentm's reader's render, passed through verbatim (see Named plans § Reading the queue).

3. Decide, then act. The glance stops at showing. Choose the next move yourself — /work --name <task> to work a task, /review --name <task> to review one, or nothing at all.

• Running /queue-status-lite prints one block, one entry per active task, and exits 0.
• No file changes: the working tree is identical before and after (git status shows nothing new) — the command mutates no state.

• No plan list: …. No agentm checkout was found. development-lifecycle keeps its plans through agentm, so there is no queue to show; install agentm, or set $AGENTM_SCRIPTS_DIR to its scripts/.
• A task is missing from the list. Check its tracker: a done or dropped task is intentionally left out. A task directory needs a plan.md to be listed.

• Named plans — the lookup: the command's arguments and the read bridge's contract.
• Run a named plan — the write-side recipe: driving /work --name <task> and friends against one task.
• Open a project by name — one project's brief and tasks, each with its tracker status.
• Development Lifecycle — the phase-loop plugin this command belongs to.
• Why phase-gating — why state lives on disk.
