Claude's Projects can now be launched straight from the terminal via Claude Code. Just describe the task in plain language — the model breaks it into parallel threads on its own and keeps working in the background, even if you've closed your laptop lid.
What's changed
- **Full autonomy:** tasks are no longer tied to the active window. Claude coordinates processes in the cloud without losing repo context.
- **Parallel branches:** you can have the model run an A/B layout experiment and dig into the cause of a cold-start slowdown at the same time.
- **One conversation:** all child processes are managed from a single session — no need to juggle tabs.
As Anthropic engineer and Claude Code creator Boris Cherny noted, he already writes most of his code through exactly this flow. The update is being rolled out to users gradually.
