Anthropic has announced a new integration allowing users to delegate coding tasks to Claude Code directly from Slack, now available in beta as a research preview. This feature is designed for engineering teams who rely on Slack for reporting bugs, requesting features, and discussing technical issues. By tagging @Claude in a Slack channel or thread, users can trigger Claude to examine the recent conversation context and automatically kick off a Claude Code session for tasks such as bug investigation, quick code modifications, and collaborative debugging.

This beta release is currently available for teams with access to Claude Code on the web and requires the Claude app to be installed in their Slack workspace. The integration works by capturing relevant context from Slack discussions and determining the appropriate repository for the coding task, based on the user’s authenticated repositories in Claude Code. As the coding session progresses, status updates are posted back into the originating Slack thread, and users receive direct links to review session changes or open pull requests.
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has a focus on building AI assistants for workplace productivity. This update broadens the capabilities of the existing Claude app for Slack by connecting discussions directly to actionable coding sessions, aiming to streamline software development workflows for teams using both Slack and Claude Code. Early user feedback points to the advantage of reducing manual steps between reporting an issue and starting on a solution.
