[FEATURE] Cowork artifacts should not be auto-pinned; add option to create artifacts unpinned
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 14, 2026 by rscottclift-ai Closed Jun 13, 2026
Summary
All artifacts created in Cowork sessions are automatically pinned in the sidebar. The create_artifact tool has no pinned parameter, so the agent has no way to create an artifact unpinned.
Problem
In automated wrap workflows, Claude creates multiple artifacts per session — handoff briefs, summaries, etc. All are pinned regardless of whether user action is needed, creating sidebar clutter that requires manual cleanup after every session.
Proposed Fix
- Add a
pinned: booleanparameter tocreate_artifact(default: false). Agent setspinned: trueonly when the artifact requires user action before the next session. - Add a UI pin/unpin toggle on each artifact card so users can manage this manually.

Workaround
