Kind: Tutorial. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omihvjf0A2k ## Why it is here Anthropic's official 4.5-minute walkthrough of the redesigned Projects in Claude Code: per the description, "one ongoing conversation where Claude coordinates the work for you, running each task as its own thread in parallel", with steering of threads, pull-request review, artifacts and scheduled routines. In beta, rolling out gradually to Pro and Max plans (waitlist at claude.com/form/projects; announcement at claude.com/blog/projects-redesigned). About 342k views. No timeline entry covers the Projects redesign yet. ## Description (written by Gemini from the video) **Summary** Delba de Oliveira from the Claude Code team introduces Claude Code Projects (Beta), a workspace environment designed for complex, multi-session software engineering workflows. She demonstrates how a coordinator agent breaks high-level goals into parallel cloud threads, manages Git pull requests, integrates external monitoring connectors, executes scheduled routines, and shares artifacts and persistent memory across tasks. --- **What is shown** * **[00:00] Intro & Parallel Task Breakdown:** Delba submits a performance issue prompt ("Our Core Web Vitals for the marketing site have been dropping for a month... Investigate and fix"). Claude breaks the objective into eight parallel tasks/threads (client-side navigation, image optimization, caching, script lazy-loading, preloading fonts, bundle splitting, banner space reservation, asset compression). * **[00:24] Coordinator Architecture Diagram:** Visual animation detailing the user communicating with a central Coordinator agent, which spins up isolated threads running in cloud sandboxes or on the user's local machine via local tools. * **[01:09] Project Setup:** Creation flow for a new project named "Site Performance" with target goals and selected Git repositories (`acme/marketing-site`, `acme/api`). * **[01:54] Thread Inspection & Steering:** Viewing live progress on an individual thread ("Optimize images"), steering it with additional conversational prompts, and monitoring automated CI fix-and-address workflows. * **[02:07] Pull Request Management:** Viewing draft pull requests created by individual threads, auto-monitoring CI status, and merging PRs directly via conversational commands or the PR tab. * **[02:29] Artifact Generation & Library:** Asking Claude to generate a post-mortem markdown report with before/after performance graphs, stored centrally in the project Library shared across all threads. * **[02:57] Connectors & Routines:** Navigating environment settings to connect third-party tools (e.g., Sentry), followed by setting up an automated daily routine (running at 5:00 PM) to check metrics and proactively open investigation threads upon regressions. * **[03:25] Project Configuration & Cost Management:** Project settings UI showing configuration for coordinator and thread models (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Fable 5.1, Haiku 4.5), effort levels (Low, Medium, High), thread concurrency constraints, and shared project memory via `MEMORY.md`. --- **Claims & numbers** * The presenter states that a thread is its own dedicated session running on its own Git branch in the cloud, allowing tasks to continue running even after closing the computer. * The presenter claims leaving the coordinator on "Low" effort is sufficient because it primarily routes work rather than executing implementation details. * The presenter notes that each thread represents a full Claude Code session, which consumes subscription plan usage limits faster than single-session workflows. * The presenter notes that Claude Code Projects is currently in Beta and rolling out gradually to Pro and Max plan tiers. --- **Notable quotes** * "A project is one ongoing conversation where Claude coordinates the work for you." [00:20] * "A thread is its own session, running on its own branch in the cloud. So the work keeps going even after you close your laptop." [00:30] * "Leave the coordinator on low effort. It mostly routes work, so a higher level won't get meaningfully better results." [03:39] --- **Assessment** This is an official Anthropic tutorial demonstrating the UI workflows and agent architecture of Claude Code Projects. The footage consists of a presenter walkthrough paired with real and semi-accelerated screen recordings of the desktop and web application interfaces. _Described by gemini-3.8-flash on 2026-10-17 from the video's audio and frames._
