Anthropic adds local support to Claude Code Projects as threads run on users' machines
Anthropic rolled out a redesigned Projects feature in Claude Code on desktop and web, in beta for select Pro and Max users. A project is a single conversation that Claude splits into threads, each running as a parallel cloud session on its own repo branch, with a coordinator scoping, delegating, and assembling results. Threads share memory, work continues after the user leaves, and less than a week later Anthropic added support for running threads locally on the user's machine.

AI Overview
- Anthropic's redesigned Claude Code projects give select Pro and Max cloud-session users multi-thread orchestration, shared memory, and named addressable threads
- Each thread runs as a full cloud session with its own repo branch, runs after laptop shutdown, and multi-repo PR ordering support; mobile check-ins are planned
- Threads aren't autonomous — users start each recommended thread, steer mid-flight, and overlapping work surfaces as manual merge conflicts
- Each project uses a 'coordinator' directing parallel 'threads' — each a Claude Code cloud session on its own repo branch; threads can further split delegated work
- Anthropic rolled out Projects in Claude Code on desktop and web on 2026-09-17, in beta for select users, with projects persisting after the user leaves
- Existing Projects users get access later so their projects migrate cleanly; the feature is rolling out now to Pro and Max on cloud sessions, with a waitlist for earlier access
- Anthropic shipped local support for Claude Code Projects on 2026-09-23, letting threads run on users' own machines

Reddit user tests Claude Code Projects: one-conversation delegation to branches and PRs works, but cloud/local setup trips users up
Users testing the newly rolled-out Projects feature for Claude Code describe handing a batch of tasks to one conversation and receiving branches and PRs, some merged without opening an editor. Threads run in parallel with per-task branches, shared memory, phone check-in, and CI-failure fixes. Reports also catalog friction: frequent permission prompts, cloud sandbox network isolation, and hard-to-find local execution options.

Users report losing projects and conversations after downgrading from Claude Max or Pro
A Reddit user reports that downgrading from Claude Max (or Pro) causes projects and conversations to become inaccessible—not just write access but read-only too. The user lost 10 of 15 projects and cannot read, search, or save old chats. This highlights a data retention policy that may surprise subscribers.

Users report split between Claude Projects and Claude Code
A user reports a workflow limitation where Claude Projects (in the home tab) and Claude Code sessions are separate, forcing a split between code knowledge and project documentation. This highlights a gap in Anthropic's tooling for unified project context.
