Anthropic has enabled Claude Code sessions on macOS and Linux to communicate directly, allowing them to share context without manual copying. A session can now fire a text summary to another instance or answer questions posed by a peer. The system handles local communication on the same machine while routing traffic through Anthropic’s servers for different computers, though only responses are possible in that remote scenario. Administrators retain control via settings to lock down the feature. Availability is currently restricted to the desktop versions, excluding Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Agent Platform, and Microsoft Foundry.
This update reduces friction for developers managing parallel workflows by automating the handoff of information. It prevents the need to manually paste logs or status updates between separate terminal windows. The feature specifically targets scenarios where multiple agents monitor different parts of a codebase or coordinate long-running tasks.
* Messages pass locally on one machine or remotely via servers
* Remote sessions are limited to receiving responses only
* Admins can disable the capability through account settings
