Anthropic began a beta rollout September 17 of a redesigned Projects feature in Claude Code, according to The Verge. A coordinator now splits a goal across multiple parallel agent sessions called threads, replacing what used to be a static folder of instructions and files.
Each thread runs as its own Claude Code cloud session on a separate branch and copy of the repository, and the threads share memory so decisions and context from one carry into the others, The Verge reported. The coordinator resolves overlapping work between threads as a merge conflict rather than letting them collide silently, VentureBeat reported.
Beta access started with a limited group of Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use cloud sessions and have no existing projects, with wider access expected over the following week and Team and Enterprise plans to follow, according to both outlets. Local file and network tool access are not yet supported; Anthropic said that support is coming.
Running several agents against the same repository at once has mostly meant a developer manually dividing the work and reconciling the results by hand. A coordinator that owns that division of labor is a bet that the harder problem in agentic coding is no longer writing code, it's managing several things writing code at once.
