Anthropic Launches Projects in Claude Code
Anthropic has introduced 'Projects' to Claude Code, enabling the management of large tasks via parallel cloud branches with automatic context sharing.
Anthropic has launched a new feature called Projects within Claude Code. This update allows developers to manage complex tasks as unified projects rather than isolated requests.
Key capabilities of Projects include:
- Automatic Task Decomposition: The AI assistant breaks down large tasks into separate branches.
- Parallel Execution: These branches run simultaneously in the cloud environment.
- Context Transfer: The system maintains and shares context between different branches of work.
- Asynchronous Operation: Claude continues working on tasks even after you close your laptop.
Currently, Projects are available in early access for a subset of Pro and Max users. If the feature is not yet enabled for your account, you can join the waitlist here: Sign up.
The company also promised that support for local scenarios will be added soon.
