Nearest release: v2.1.293, published under an hour before upstream edited the page. Shown because the two are within 24 hours of each other. Nothing here says the release caused the edit.
Upstream edited this page at 7 Oct 2026 17:44 UTC, give or take a minute or two: the time comes from Anthropic’s own sitemap rather than from a commit. This site recorded the change at 7 Oct 2026 17:56 UTC.

5050 * The project's repositories and files, plus its [instructions and memory](#give-a-project-standing-context)
5151 * The `CLAUDE.md` and skills in [each of the project's repositories](#what-threads-pick-up-from-your-repositories), and in a project with one repository, that repository's permission rules and hooks too
5252 * The [connectors](#get-skills-plugins-connectors-and-tools-into-threads) on your claude.ai account
53 * A [cloud environment](#choose-an-environment-for-threads) that sets its network access, environment variables, API credentials, and installed tools
53 * A [cloud environment](#choose-an-environment-for-threads) that sets its network access, environment variables, network secrets, and installed tools
5454* **The Overview pane**: where you [see all the threads at once](#see-what-needs-you-in-overview) and which of them need you. Its other tabs are **Library** for the files you added and the files threads produced, **Pull requests** for the ones threads opened, and **Routines** for scheduled work in the project.

5656Cloud threads don't pick up anything from the Claude Code setup on your own machine. [Get skills, plugins, connectors, and tools into threads](#get-skills-plugins-connectors-and-tools-into-threads) covers how to give them what they'd otherwise be missing.

7979* **Plan**: you're on Pro or Max and **Projects** shows in your sidebar.
8080* **GitHub, if the project will work on code**: your code is on github.com rather than GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab, or Bitbucket, your connected GitHub account has push access to it, and the Claude GitHub App is installed on it. If you connected GitHub with [`/web-setup`](/docs/en/web-quickstart#connect-from-your-terminal), that token lets your other cloud sessions reach a repository but isn't enough for a project's cloud threads, which need the Claude GitHub App. [Set up GitHub access](#set-up-github-access) has the steps.
81* **Network, credentials, and tools**: for cloud threads, these come from the project's [cloud environment](#choose-an-environment-for-threads). The default environment already reaches [common package registries](/docs/en/cloud-environments#default-allowed-domains), so check this only if the work needs other domains, a secret, or a tool that isn't preinstalled. If the work needs an MCP server, check that it shows as connected in your [claude.ai connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors).

347Every new cloud thread starts in the project's [cloud environment](/docs/en/cloud-environments). The environment sets which domains threads can reach, which environment variables they have, which API credentials are added to their requests, and what the setup script installs before Claude starts. Cloud threads use a default Anthropic-hosted environment until you pick one in **Project settings > Environment**.

349If cloud threads need to reach an internal API or a private package registry, or need a token your machine normally holds, change the environment rather than the project: see [Network access](/docs/en/cloud-environments#network-access), [Add API credentials](/docs/en/cloud-environments#add-api-credentials), and [Setup scripts](/docs/en/cloud-environments#setup-scripts).
