Claude Projects runs parallel tasks on separate branches, watches CI — 'biggest update this year'

A Reddit post argues Projects is Claude Code's biggest update this year, overshadowed by discussions about how fast it burns usage limits. The actual capabilities: one message is split into tasks that run in parallel on separate git branches so they don't break each other; it keeps working with the laptop closed and is checkable from a phone; shared memory means you don't re-explain decisions; and it watches the PR and fixes issues when CI fails. To control cost, the author suggests pinning threads to Sonnet in project settings and starting with 2-3 threads instead of 20. 'A year ago this was 5 terminals + tmux + copy-pasting; now it's one chat' — for a solo dev, like having a small team.
