Claude Code projects redesigned: one conversation runs parallel threads
In Claude Code you now describe a goal and Claude splits the work into parallel threads. It keeps going after you step away from your computer, and you can steer it from your phone.
On 17 September, Anthropic announced a redesign of Claude Code projects. Running one build across several sessions used to mean dividing the work, juggling handoffs and stitching the results back together. Now, in a Claude Code project, you describe what needs to get done and Claude manages the work.
How it works
Claude scopes the request, delegates the work, coordinates parallel threads, reviews the outputs and assembles the finished result. You can steer progress throughout, even from your phone, and it keeps working after you step away from your computer.
Examples
Anthropic gives two. First: configure a project, set a goal to reduce your app's checkout latency, then ask Claude to profile each endpoint, test optimizations and open pull requests in parallel threads.
Second: connect your API, web and mobile repos and set a goal to retire a deprecated v1 endpoint. Claude creates a thread per repo to migrate the callers, run the tests and open PRs, then tells you which ones need to merge first.
Availability
The updated projects are available in beta to select Claude Pro and Max users starting today.
