[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:
- Shared storage: Both products read/write plans from the same location
- Sync mechanism: Plans sync between CLI and Desktop
- 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
