Anthropic Upgrades Claude Code Projects to Run Parallel AI Workers Hands-Free

Anthropic updated Claude Code Projects to let a coordinator AI assign work across parallel cloud sessions, adding proactive status messages, read-only thread sharing, reminders, and branching commands. Each thread runs as an independent Claude Code session with its own repository copy and Git branch, and the coordinator now surfaces pending decisions and blocked work directly in project chat instead of requiring developers to monitor thread lists. The changes, available on web, desktop, and the latest mobile app, follow the public beta launched September 17 for Pro and Max subscribers on the waitlist; Team and Enterprise plans remain unsupported. Projects carry no separate fee, but each worker draws on the subscriber's existing Claude Code allowance, and accounts are capped at 200 new threads per day. The update matters because it reduces hands-on monitoring for multi-session coding work, though overlapping code changes still surface as standard Git merge conflicts. Next, watch whether Anthropic extends Projects to Team and Enterprise plans and how the 200-thread daily limit affects heavier parallel workflows.
