A note in this repository, Claude/projects/README.md, on Anthropic’s Projects redesigned: from folder to conversation post of 2026-09-17, reviewed on 2026-09-18.1
Sourcing caveat carried from the note: the announcement page was not reachable when the note was written, so its claims were reconstructed from search summaries, press coverage (SD Times, VentureBeat, Unite.AI, DevOps.com), and Anthropic’s posts on X. Treat details as unverified against the original post.1
Takeaways
- A project changes from a folder of files and instructions into one ongoing conversation whose coordinator splits a goal into threads.1 See Claude Projects.
- Each thread runs as a cloud session, which is why local-only workflows are excluded.1
- Beta access opened on 2026-09-17 for Pro and Max in Claude Code only.1
