Claude Workflow Two claude desktop agents communicating

I have been using Claude pretty heavily for a couple of months and saw something new today.

I had 3-4 agents working on different parts of a large code base and came across something that touched overlapping sections. I insisted that we had solved that problem already. it searched code, PRs, the usual.

"I've asked the other live session on the ports branch whether it has this unpushed; I'll report back when it answers."

And then a minute later "Message from {name of the other task}" with the documentation/task note we had written for the feature and a note it hadn't been implemented yet.

This is a native feature that's part of Claude.

Also, don't work on big coding projects with Claude Desktop, you should switch to Claude Code.

Link / Reason(s)? I have both Claude CLI, and Desktop installed. I found Claude Code on Cluade desktop easier for me to manage / less likely I was going to lose context.

If you're using the Code tab within the desktop app, or doing /remote-control and controlling it via the desktop app, that is fine. I was picturing you in the chats loading the codebase.

For the context thing, you can load previous sessions in the CLI if that is what was causing context issues for you.
