Claude Cowork Guide

What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's browser-based AI workspace — the companion to Claude Code's CLI. While Claude Code handles implementation in the terminal, Cowork handles everything that happens before and after code: planning, design, documentation, prototyping, and review.

Key capabilities:

• Projects: Maintain per-project context with custom instructions, knowledge files, and conversation history. Claude remembers your project's context across multiple conversations.
• Artifacts: Generate and iterate on code, documents, diagrams, and interactive prototypes in real-time. Artifacts are versioned and shareable.
• Multi-turn deep understanding: Long conversations build deeper context. Claude Cowork excels at exploring ideas, refining specifications, and iterating on designs.
• Team collaboration: Share projects, artifacts, and conversations with team members.

Claude Code vs Claude Cowork — When to Use Which

Use Claude Cowork (Browser) for:	Use Claude Code (CLI) for:
Project planning & architecture design	Writing & editing code in your actual codebase
Writing specifications & documentation	Running tests & fixing bugs
Creating diagrams & prototypes	Git operations (commit, PR, rebase)
Brainstorming & exploring ideas	Deploying to production
Code review & feedback	Multi-file refactoring

The ideal workflow: Start in Cowork to plan and design → hand off to Claude Code for implementation → return to Cowork for review. This mirrors how experienced teams work: think first, build second, review third.

Getting Started with Claude Cowork

1. Visit claude.ai and sign in
2. Create a new Project and add custom instructions describing your project
3. Upload relevant files (specs, code samples, documentation) as project knowledge
4. Start conversations within the project — Claude will maintain context
5. Use Artifacts to generate and iterate on deliverables

Pro tip: The custom instructions in a Cowork Project serve the same purpose as CLAUDE.md in Claude Code. Keep them aligned for a consistent AI experience across both tools.
