Anthropic relaunches Claude Code Projects for coordinated cloud agents

The Verge reported Sept. 17 that Anthropic has relaunched Claude Code Projects in beta, turning it into a workspace for coordinating multiple Claude Code agents. According to Anthropic’s description of the redesigned Projects, a coordinator splits a request into jobs and dispatches them to parallel Claude Code sessions. The setup gives users one place to oversee work that would otherwise be spread across several agent runs.

The coordinator scopes the request, delegates tasks and tracks each thread before reviewing the output and assembling the result. Every thread is a full Claude Code cloud session working on its own branch and copy of the repository. That separation allows sessions to run concurrently, but it does not eliminate integration conflicts. If threads edit overlapping code, Anthropic says the collision is handled as a merge conflict, much like conflicting pull requests.

Users can steer the work from the main Project conversation or open a specific thread to inspect and guide it. A thread can break down its assigned job further through subagents, loops and workflows. When setting up a Project, users choose a goal and a repository or other context. They can also configure the cloud environment, connectors, plugins, instructions and model.

Context is shared at the Project level. Threads contribute to and draw from a common project memory, while a Project library stores files added by the user and artifacts produced by Claude. The sessions therefore use the same material while keeping their execution environments and branches separate.

Anthropic said the initial beta is limited to select Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use Claude Code cloud sessions and do not already have Projects on the web or desktop. The company plans to extend access during the following week to more Pro and Max Claude Code users, then bring updated Projects across Claude and to Team and Enterprise plans later. Existing Pro and Max Projects are due to be upgraded as the rollout reaches chat and Cowork, but Anthropic did not give exact dates for those stages.

At launch, every thread runs in Anthropic’s cloud. The company said support for running threads on a user’s machine—with local tools, local code and access behind a network—is coming “very soon,” but did not specify a date. Anthropic also warned that running several full Claude Code sessions in parallel can cause a Project to reach usage limits faster.
