This reference is generated from the same canonical source distributed as cockpit CLI help. See [Cockpit CLI](/en/tools/cockpit/docs/cockpit-cli) for concepts and safe operating guidance.

Usage: `cockpit side-panel <command> [options]`

Open or inspect the AGI Cockpit right side panel for a task. When `--task-id` is omitted, Cockpit resolves the current task from the session context.

```bash
cockpit side-panel status --json
cockpit side-panel open --kind explorer --json
cockpit side-panel close --json
cockpit side-panel html --surface-id latest --json
cockpit side-panel browser --url "https://example.com" --json
cockpit browser show --browser-identity work --json
cockpit side-panel diff --file src/App.tsx --json
cockpit side-panel artifact --artifact latest --json
cockpit side-panel talk <roomId> --json
cockpit side-panel child-tasks --json

```

Notes:

- `cockpit side-panel file` opens the requested path directly without waiting for the project tree. Use `cockpit side-panel explorer --file` when the Explorer tree is needed.
- `cockpit side-panel file --line <n>` scrolls to and highlights one line. Add `--end-line <n>` to highlight an inclusive range; `--end-line` must be greater than or equal to `--line`.
- `cockpit side-panel artifact` opens the Creative Studio artifact review panel (3D model or picture book review). It only works for Creative Studio tasks; `--artifact` and `--version` accept ids or `latest`.
- `cockpit side-panel talk [roomId]` opens the Talk Room conversation view (`latest` or omitted = most recently active room, `list` = room list). See `cockpit help talk`.
- `cockpit side-panel child-tasks [childTaskId]` opens the current task's active child tasks. Pass the child task id positionally or with `--child-task-id`; use `--task-id` to specify the parent task when there is no current task context.
- The Browser panel always shows the current Browser Identity name and color. Switching it changes the task assignment and opens that Identity's isolated persistent partition.
- Prefer the side panel whenever a result is visual — a UI change, a diff review, a generated image, a report page.
