Overview
What Claude Projects is
Projects let users collect documents, code, and guidance that Claude can reuse across focused chats. This is useful for initiatives where the same background, terminology, or style should carry across many requests.
Anthropic is rolling out a newer beta project model that can break a conversation into parallel cloud threads and preserve project files, repositories, instructions, and memory. Access and behavior can differ by plan and rollout stage, so users should confirm which project experience their account has.
