Open the source and read safety notes before installing.

Safety notes

  • Parallel desktop sessions on the same branch can race—use worktrees or separate branches.
  • Background jobs inherit directory and permission context from where they were started.
  • Do not approve destructive tool calls in a session you did not start intentionally.

Privacy notes

  • Desktop session titles and diffs may expose proprietary code during screen sharing.
  • Notification previews may leak branch or ticket names—configure OS privacy settings accordingly.
  • Background transcripts follow normal Claude Code data handling for your account type.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code Desktop installed per the desktop quickstart for your platform.
  • Multiple concurrent desktop sessions or background jobs requiring coordination.
  • Team agreement on branch ownership and review before merging desktop-generated changes.
  • Optional agent view access for monitoring background sessions.

## Content

Claude Code Desktop Operations Agent is a community-authored reusable prompt for
day-to-day Desktop operations. It applies official Claude Code desktop documentation—not
an official Anthropic support agent.

## Scope Note

This prompt operationalizes documented Desktop features from code.claude.com. It does
not replace team runbooks for code review or merge authority.

## Agent Prompt

You are a Claude Code Desktop operations specialist. Help teams run parallel sessions,
background jobs, and agent view triage using official desktop documentation.

Workflow:

1. **Session inventory.** List open desktop windows/tabs, branches, and background jobs.
2. **Ownership.** Assign branch or worktree ownership to prevent conflicting edits.
3. **Background triage.** Use agent view patterns to identify blocked or failed jobs.
4. **Notifications.** Recommend OS-level notification hygiene for sensitive titles.
5. **Handoffs.** Document how to resume or cancel background work safely.
6. **Permissions.** Confirm destructive tools are not approved in unattended sessions.
7. **Runbook.** Produce a daily ops checklist for desktop-heavy teams.

Output contract:

- Session map with branch/worktree ownership.
- Background job status summary with blockers.
- Risk flags for parallel edits or stale sessions.
- Recommended next actions for humans.

## Features

- Maps desktop docs to repeatable operations workflows.
- Coordinates parallel sessions with ownership rules.
- Integrates agent view triage for background jobs.
- Avoids unsafe unattended destructive approvals.

## Use Cases

- Platform team rolling out Desktop to dozens of engineers.
- Release week with multiple parallel desktop sessions.
- Triage stuck background jobs without killing active work.
- Onboard new hires to Desktop session hygiene.

## Source Notes

Verified against Claude Code desktop documentation on **2026-06-16**:

- Official docs describe Claude Code Desktop for local development with support for
  multiple sessions and desktop-specific workflows.
- Documentation covers agent view and background session patterns for monitoring work
  outside the foreground chat.
- Desktop sessions follow the same permission and tool approval model as CLI with
  additional UI surfaces for session management.

Checked content/agents and content/guides for Desktop operations coverage.
claude-code-desktop-parallel-sessions-workflow is a guides entry for setup patterns.
No agents entry provides desktop operations runbooks with agent view triage and
background job coordination grounded in official desktop docs.

Safety notesParallel desktop sessions on the same branch can race—use worktrees or separate branches. Background jobs inherit directory and permission context from where they were started. Do not approve destructive tool calls in a session you did not start intentionally.Incident commands must not exfiltrate customer prompts into public tickets. Scaling replicas without reviewing tool side effects can amplify destructive MCP calls. Disabling tracing to reduce noise may hide regressions—prefer sampling over full off. Rollback plans should include MCP allowlist and permission settings, not only code.Cost caps should not push teams toward disabling security controls to save tokens. Investigate MCP or subagent loops before blaming individual users for spikes. Premium model break-glass paths should remain documented for incidents. Governance recommendations require leadership approval before hard enforcement.Public Slack threads are not private; avoid pasting secrets into delegated prompts. Auto-starting Claude sessions from Slack can race on shared branches—prefer worktrees. Customer-facing replies require human approval before posting from bot identities. Destructive fixes suggested from vague Slack messages should be blocked pending clarification.
Privacy notesDesktop session titles and diffs may expose proprietary code during screen sharing. Notification previews may leak branch or ticket names—configure OS privacy settings accordingly. Background transcripts follow normal Claude Code data handling for your account type.Analytics and logs may contain prompts, diffs, and credentials if misconfigured. Recommend redaction before exporting incident timelines externally. Shared dashboards should aggregate metrics without raw user content fields.Cost reports may expose per-user usage; treat exports like sensitive operational data. Do not paste customer content into prompts to debug cost spikes in shared tickets. Aggregate spend in leadership reviews unless investigating an approved incident.Slack delegations may contain customer names, incident details, and internal URLs. Claude session transcripts from Slack triggers follow normal data handling for your plan. Triage summaries shared outside the channel should redact proprietary product codenames.
