[FEATURE] Share plan files between Claude Code CLI and Claude Desktop

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 19, 2026 by ThatDragonOverThere Closed Jan 23, 2026

Feature Request

Claude Code CLI writes plan files to ~/.claude/plans/ but Claude Desktop cannot access them. This creates a fragmented experience when switching between CLI and Desktop.

Current Behavior

  • Claude Code CLI: Writes plans to ~/.claude/plans/*.md
  • Claude Desktop: Cannot read these plan files
  • User sees plan approval prompt in CLI but can't view the plan content in Desktop

Desired Behavior

Either:

  1. Shared storage: Both products read/write plans from the same location
  2. Sync mechanism: Plans sync between CLI and Desktop
  3. Cross-product access: Desktop can open/read CLI plan files

Use Case

User starts work in CLI, Claude writes a plan. User wants to review the plan in Desktop (better UI for reading long documents) before approving. Currently impossible without manually copying the file.

Environment

  • Windows 11
  • Using both Claude Code CLI and Claude Desktop
