Claude Code sessions can now hand tasks to each other
By Steven Van ·
One running session sends a summary to another, which picks up the task without the user re-explaining context.
Anthropic added session-to-session messaging in Claude Code: one running session can now hand off to another instead of the user repeating context by hand. The sending session sends a summary of what it's doing, not its full history or files, and the receiving session picks the task up from there. The change was announced on X on 7 August 2026.
