Anthropic has introduced a new "projects" feature for Claude Code that enables users to launch multiple parallel sessions working on related tasks simultaneously. This allows customers to accelerate development of complex projects by working on several components—such as authorisation, databases, caching, and containers—at the same time, rather than sequentially. The feature is particularly useful for large-scale coding projects and spans multiple repositories where coordinated parallel work was previously not possible.

The projects feature is currently in beta and available to Pro and Max subscribers of Claude Code. Each project spins up separate Claude Code sessions running on their own git branches with independent copies of repositories, whilst a coordinator directs the threads and surfaces merge conflicts when overlaps occur. Anthropic offers five methods for parallel task execution: subagents within sessions, Agent View for oversight, Agent Teams for coordination, Dynamic Workflows for script-based orchestration, and projects themselves. A significant caveat is that projects consume tokens substantially faster due to running multiple full Claude Code sessions simultaneously, which could push users towards their usage limits more quickly. Q2 revenue for Anthropic reached approximately $11.5 billion.
