Anthropic adds parallel workers and coordinator updates to Claude Code Projects
Original title: Anthropic Upgrades Claude Code Projects to Run Parallel AI Workers Hands-Free
The public beta stays Pro and Max only, with a 200-thread daily cap and no separate fee.
Anthropic updated Claude Code Projects so a coordinator can assign work to independent cloud sessions, each with its own repository copy and Git branch. Coordinators now post status and pending decisions without prompting, and threads can be shared via read-only links unless they accessed a local computer. The update is on web, desktop, and the latest mobile app. Team and Enterprise plans remain unsupported, and workers draw from the existing Claude Code allowance.
- Public beta began September 17 for Pro and Max waitlist subscribers.
- Accounts are limited to 200 new threads per day across projects.
- New projects default to Opus, low effort for the coordinator and high for workers.
- Local-access threads cannot be shared, to avoid exposing files or shell output.
- Reminders, /btw, and /fork are now available inside Projects.

From the original article
3 min read at alphasignal.aiAnthropic has updated Claude Code Projects with proactive coordinator messages, read-only thread sharing, reminders, branching commands, and improved artifact navigation. The changes reduce the monitoring required when several cloud sessions work in parallel. Each project is a long-running conversation with a coordinator that assigns work to threads.
