"Anthropic has announced a beta integration that lets you control Claude Code directly from Slack. Developers can now delegate coding tasks via a simple @Claude mention, with context from Slack conversations automatically included. The integration is available as a research preview. The new link is intended to reduce the transition between technical discussions and actual implementation. Bug reports, feature requests, and debugging discussions often arise in Slack, while the solution is worked out elsewhere."
"When a user mentions @Claude in a Slack channel or thread, Claude assesses whether it is a coding task. If so, a new Claude Code session starts automatically. The AI collects context from recent messages and uses it to determine which repository to work in, provided it is linked to Claude Code on the web. During execution, Claude posts progress updates back to the Slack thread."
"The AI developer explicitly positions the product as a core part of the software development process, rather than as a standalone assistant. TechCrunch notes that this approach aligns with the growing adoption of Claude Code within large organizations. Companies are using the platform for both experienced developers and less technical users, giving Claude Code a broader role within teams. TechCrunch also cites Anthropic's internal research on the use of Claude Code by its own engineers."
Anthropic's beta integration allows developers to control Claude Code directly from Slack by mentioning @Claude. When mentioned, Claude evaluates whether a coding task is present and starts a new Claude Code session automatically, collecting recent Slack context and selecting the linked repository to work in. During execution, Claude posts progress updates to the thread and provides a link to the full session with an option to open a pull request. The integration targets enterprise workflows, positioning Claude Code as a core development tool used by both experienced developers and less technical users, and reflects internal use by Anthropic engineers.
