Problem

The Plans and Tasks sidebar panels in Claude Desktop have a fixed default position. When working with agent teams, these panels are frequently referenced, but the current fixed layout may not suit every user's workflow or monitor setup.

Proposed Solution

Add a setting to configure the default position of sidebar panels (Plans, Tasks, etc.):

  • Top / Bottom / Left / Right
  • Per-panel configuration (e.g., Plans on the right, Tasks on the bottom)
  • Accessible via Settings UI or settings.json

Use Case

  • Users with wide monitors may prefer side panels on the left/right
  • Users with ultra-wide or stacked monitors may prefer top/bottom
  • When managing multiple agent tasks, having the Tasks panel in a preferred position improves workflow efficiency

Environment

  • Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows)
