Let One Claude Manage a Team of Claudes With Projects
Claude's new Projects turns one chat into a manager: you give it a goal, it starts a separate Claude for each task, and they keep working with your laptop closed. How to get it, how to set it up, and the first message to send
Projects in Claude Code is one ongoing conversation where Claude acts as the manager. You tell it what needs doing, and it starts a separate Claude, called a thread, for each task. Each thread does one piece of work and reports back.
Here's what it does, who has it, how to set one up, the catch, and a first message you can paste in.
What the manager does for you
- Splits your goal into tasks and starts a thread for each one, running at the same time.
- Keeps track of every thread and checks what each one reports back, then puts the result together.
- Cloud threads keep going after you close your laptop. Come back later and the Overview pane shows what finished and which thread is waiting for your answer.
- You can check on the threads and steer them from the Claude phone app.
- It isn't only for code: upload a folder of contracts or a support-ticket export instead of a code repository and ask questions like "find the ten most common mistakes in these tickets". Each write-up comes back as a file.
