Claude Code's Projects get a more proactive coordinator

Anthropic's ClaudeDevs account announced "big updates" to Projects in Claude Code. In a project, Claude coordinates your tasks across parallel threads. Anthropic says the coordinator is now much more proactive: it answers questions in the project chat and gives updates on the status of ongoing threads.

AlphaSignal's write-up of the update adds that individual threads can be shared as read-only links with signed-in Claude users (threads that used local computer access are excluded), reminders can hide a thread until a set time, and /btw and /fork are now available in Projects. The threads panel gains a row of recent threads and artifact thumbnails. AlphaSignal says Projects runs only as Claude Code cloud sessions and draws on the same plan allowance as regular Claude Code, with a limit of 200 new threads a day.

Anthropic's own announcement says that in a project you set a goal and a repo or context, and Claude scopes the request, delegates it to parallel threads, reviews the outputs and assembles the result. Each thread is a Claude Code cloud session on its own branch and copy of the repo, and overlapping work shows up as a merge conflict like any other PR. Threads share a project memory, and a library collects the files you add and the artifacts Claude produces. You can steer a project from your phone.

The updated projects start today in beta for select Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use cloud sessions in Claude Code and have no existing projects on the web or desktop. Anthropic says access widens over the coming week, with Team and Enterprise plans and the rest of Claude after that; others can join a waitlist. Existing projects on Pro and Max keep working as they do. Anthropic warns that several parallel Claude Code sessions can reach usage limits faster, and says running threads on your own machine is coming very soon.
