Projects in Claude Code

A rebuilt version of Projects where you describe a goal in one conversation and Claude splits it across parallel working threads, in beta for some Claude Pro and Max subscribers.

  • You describe what needs doing in one conversation, and Claude scopes the work, opens threads for the parallel pieces, reviews what comes back, and coordinates the merges
  • Each thread runs as a full Claude Code cloud session on its own branch, so the threads work independently instead of sharing one context
  • An Overview panel shows which threads are waiting on you, and you can redirect any thread from your phone
  • Replaces the old folder-based Projects structure on web and desktop, where a project was a container for files and chats rather than a running piece of work
  • In beta for select Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use cloud sessions and have no existing projects, widening to more Pro and Max users over the following week, with Team and Enterprise later

Best for

Work that splits into several pieces you would otherwise run as separate chats and stitch together yourself.

When to use it

You have a goal rather than a single question, and you want progress to continue after you close the laptop.

Who benefits

Pro and Max subscribers already running Claude Code cloud sessions, particularly anyone managing multi-part projects.
