Quick Dock
A column of floating windows on the right side of the conversation area. It gathers the "interactive artifacts produced during a task" in one place, so you can keep an eye on everything without scrolling through the message stream.
1. The Five Windows
From top to bottom:
| Window | What it shows | Typical actions |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | The currently active workflow: which stage it is at, review status, pending branches | Check process progress; use alongside branch selection |
| Todos | The AI-created task list (todo): completion status of each item | See how far the AI's execution plan has advanced |
| Sub agents | Running/idle sub agent instances: status, what they are currently doing | Open details to see the output timeline; use the ⋯ menu to force-close an out-of-control instance |
| Background commands | Command tasks running in the background: status, elapsed time | Open details to see the full output; force-close from the ⋯ menu |
| File records | Files the AI has edited or created in the current task | ⋯ menu: download / open in file manager (host mode) / copy path |
Details panel
- Click a sub agent / background command entry → opens the runner details panel: outputs and tool calls are interleaved on a real timeline; you can force-close when something runs out of control;
- Click a file entry → opens the file preview panel: view the file content directly. Long lines scroll horizontally by default; in Personal Space you can switch to wrapping by panel width.
2. Expand and Collapse
- Auto-expand when there is content (default): when any window has content, the whole column expands automatically; when all are empty, it collapses into a thin edge strip that takes up no space;
- In Personal Space you can switch to manual expand only (
quick_dock_auto_expand), or hide entirely (hide_quick_dock).
3. Usage Tips
- Watch for runaway processes: when a sub agent or background command misbehaves, don't shout into the conversation — just use ⋯ → force close;
- Watch progress: during long tasks, the Todos window plus the Sub agents window is your project board;
- Collect artifacts: when the task ends, batch-download or jump to the directory from the File records window — much faster than hunting through cards in the message stream.
