description: Check whether the user has served their 4 hours at the Long Day Factory and can go home. Reads ~/long-day-factory.json, subtracts the lunch break from time in the office, and reports remaining time (or freedom) with a message of comfort. Use when the user asks "am I free", "can I go home", "how long have I been here".

# am-i-free

Does the math: **time served = (now − startTime) − lunch break**. The user is
free once time served reaches **4 hours**.

## Steps

1. Run:

```bash
python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/am_i_free.py"
```

Fallback path: `~/.claude/skills/am-i-free/am_i_free.py`.

2. Handle the exit code:
   - **Exit 3** — `startTime` missing. Tell the user to run `long-day-start`.
   - **Exit 2** — `NEEDS_LUNCH_DECISION`. The user probably forgot to log lunch.
     Ask which they want:
     - assume the standard **11:30–12:30** lunch and save it →
       `python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/am_i_free.py" --default-lunch`
     - assume a flat **1h** lunch without saving →
       `python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/am_i_free.py" --flat-hour`
   - **Exit 0** — read the output.

3. Deliver the verdict with humor and a genuine message of comfort:
   - **FREE**: congratulate them, tell them the overtime damage, send them home.
   - **NOT FREE**: give the remaining time and the "parole at HH:MM" clock time,
     and offer some dark encouragement to keep them going.
