Claude Crew

Claude Crew brings multi-agent collaboration into VS Code without turning the editor into a thin shell around a web app. The extension keeps fast, frequent work in native VS Code surfaces and leaves the panel for longer conversations and coordination.

What You Get

Claude Crew adds a native Agents view, a hierarchical Projects view, an Inbox for approvals and PEAK decisions, a Knowledge view for memory, standards, and reflections, and Shared Files that open directly in the editor.

That means you can review decisions, inspect knowledge, and edit shared artifacts from the same place where you already read code, save files, and switch context.

Why It Feels Native

Claude Crew uses the parts of VS Code that already fit the job:

tree views for navigation and runtime state
editor tabs for memory, standards, reflections, and shared files
notifications and quick picks for approvals and PEAK decisions
a focused panel for group chat, DMs, and longer collaborative threads

The result is a workflow that feels closer to coordinating a team from inside the editor than chatting with a detached tool.

Core Workflows

Make decisions from Inbox

Approvals and PEAK decisions no longer need to wait behind the web panel. You can handle them directly from VS Code with native prompts and keep moving.

Open knowledge as documents

Memory, standards, and reflections are available as editor-backed documents, so review and editing fit normal VS Code habits instead of a separate UI.

Edit Shared Files in place

Shared Files open in the editor and save back through standard document save actions, which makes collaboration artifacts behave like part of the workspace.

Stay aligned to project context

Projects now reflect workplaces and assigned agents, and native views stay aligned to the project context you are actively working in.

Where The Panel Fits

The panel is still the right place for group chat, direct chat, dashboard-style project management, and long collaborative threads. It is no longer the only place where important work happens.

Highlights In This Release

This release brings Claude Crew much closer to a VS Code-native workflow with a native Inbox, a native Knowledge surface, editor-backed Shared Files and standards, deeper project context, and stronger end-to-end validation for native interactions.
