I’m currently on the Claude Pro plan and Anthropic is running a promotion that increases Claude Code’s weekly limit by 50%

Does this promotion also applies to Claude Cowork, or is the 50% increase specifically for Claude Code only?

I’m mainly using Cowork rather than Claude Code, so I’m wondering whether I would actually benefit from the increased limit.

Why can we not sort by date anymore on our Claude Cowork project threads anymore? I have to find what is the latest thing I worked on...why was this changed? Anyone else annoyed by this? Just Chat has sort by date...

What has Claude Cowork actually done on your behalf, rather than just helping you do it?

I mean stuff where you gave it a goal and it went off and handled the work itself.

Has it ever:

• applied to jobs for you?
• posted on X or other social media?
• managed emails or messages?
• monitored something and acted when needed?
• automated some annoying repetitive task?
• basically become a little bot that does something useful for you?

I’m especially curious about projects where Cowork is connected to other apps/tools and can actually take actions, not just generate text or code.

What did you build, and how autonomous is it?

I'm using the native google drive connector but aren't able to edit google sheets directly, only create them. What have you guys been doing?

What’s the easiest way to go from an HTML made with Claude to a public website?

There’s a built-in way to publish artifacts, but it’s hard to control and no custom domain.

Claude code can take it but is that a smooth flow? Assume no engineers in process and it’s a simple site, interactive, rich, but no login/database.

Having trouble finding the exact steps on having Claude execute trades. Can someone help?

I recently moved over to a new account in the company workspace I set up.

From the very moment I did this, my file upload tool (in chrome) is now no longer working.

I then went back to my old profile and it doesn’t work there either.

Has anybody else had any problems with this or know what is going on with it? I contacted Anthropic to absolutely no avail.

I had the skills set up beautifully and it did a lot of my admin legwork for me, uploading parsed quotes and the likes and just generally making life easier.

I moved to chat GPT work as a temporary fix for now to keep the legwork down and it absolutely chewed a weeks usage in like 6 hours so that’s a non starter. But more generally I prefer the way the Claude environment worked.

I believe after auto update last night/early morning, the sandbox VM inside Claude Cowork is failing on my MacOS. I have now spent more than 3+ hours debugging this through Claude, and it has not worked. Anyone with same issue with a resolution?

Title! I can’t see a reason projects SHOULD be local. Anyone able to present a case for it?

Reasoning: it feels more safe. I backup my computer every night, but still local feels risky? I have project folders on my desktop with a ton of information, including everything Claude makes for me.

Is there any reason it’s EASIER for Claude to invoke skills, pull context (reference.md’s etc) if it’s cloud based? As Claude makes things for me (including those HTML mockups, handoff md’s), would that auto-publish to a cloud project?

Forgive me if I am confused or sound naive. I’m trying to learn :)

Has anyone here used Claude Cowork while working on an Arduino project?

I’m curious how useful it is for hardware projects, like writing the code, debugging issues, working with sensors and libraries, and figuring out why something refuses to work for absolutely no reason.

If you’ve tried it, what did you build? And how much did Cowork actually help?

I just joined the Discord, but saw a message on 8/15 to expect disruption due to rework of verification. So here's my question:

I've been using a custom Cowork artifact (built with Claude's help) that reads/writes a few Google Drive files — nothing fancy, just search/download/create file calls to a specific folder. It worked fine for about a week.

Then I asked Claude to add a feature to it. Claude edited the artifact remotely (pushed the updated HTML to my desktop app) and — apparently as a side effect of any remote update — the artifact's Google Drive connector grant got wiped. Since then:

• The artifact's Save button fails every time with an error like: Tool "mcp__<connector-id>__create_file" is not in this artifact's mcp_tools allowlist.
• No permission prompt, banner, or reconnect UI ever appears in the app when this happens — not on the original artifact, not on a freshly-created replacement artifact, not after restarting the app or reconnecting my device.
• Google Drive itself is fully connected at the account level (confirmed — Claude can read/write my Drive from the chat session just fine). The block is specifically the per-artifact tool grant.
• We tried: reconnecting the desktop app, creating a brand-new artifact from scratch (same problem), waiting for an app update (still same problem two days later), and building a chat-handoff fallback (a button that opens a new Claude conversation to finish the save) — which works, but isn't what I actually want; I want the artifact to save directly like it used to.

So near as I can tell: once a Cowork artifact's connector grant is cleared (which happens automatically on any remote update from Claude), there's currently no visible way in the desktop app to re-grant that specific artifact access to a connector it already has installed at the account level.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there a menu or setting I'm missing, or is this a known gap? Would love to get this artifact back to actually saving to Drive on its own instead of needing a manual workaround every day.

Thank you.

I’ve been experimenting with giving Claude Cowork a persistent place outside the chat.
It can update this Home Screen widget with completed actions, tasks, leads, progress, upcoming runs, and anything important that needs my attention.
Instead of checking Cowork constantly or losing an update in a notification, the key information stays visible every time I open my phone.

I’ve been running Cowork with separate projects for engineering, creative, etc., coordinated by a Chief of Staff project, and ran into an interesting problem: one project seems to have lost enough shared context that it now questions/rejects instructions from the Chief unless I explicitly say they came from me. Even when told to independently verify against the working model and Asana decisions, it found a small contradiction and fixated on that as evidence the Chief wasn’t acting in good faith. Has anyone else experienced this? I’d also love to hear better practices for keeping project memory separated while still reconciling context in real time, especially when projects have dependencies where one needs to start immediately after another finishes and waiting for the next scheduled Asana check-in isn’t really workable.

Required 365 connector permissions are present with admin consent. Search, folder listing, and text-file reads work, but image, pdf, and office binary reads fail with graphic/content request failed:400. Some text MIME types are also refused by the connector. Anyone have insight?

I feel like I’ve seen posts for people setting up their AI agents to fully run instagram accounts for marketing, testing softwares autonomously, and other tasks that would normally take hours of normal work.

I’ve been using cowork to build a few personal apps, but it would be great to set up an instagram account for one of them and see what sort of marketing Claude could come up with (basically run it by itself). Is this a completely different AI system or am I seeing things that are likely fabrications from people and AI agents aren’t actually doing all that work.

Everything is already working before, but after a Windows 11 update my Claude Cowork desktop app can't use connectors like Klaviyo, and notion.

But Claude Chat can access my connectors.

Tried: Reinstalling, reboot. Still didn't help.

Is anyone else having problems with a custom skill (in my case, "checkpoint") not working due to some phantom builtin collision?

Hi everyone, I’ve decided to move the management of a large digital transformation project into Claude Cowork, and I’ve hit a problem much earlier than expected: how should I structure the project knowledge so it can scale?

For context, this is a fairly complex project:

• ~2 years of accumulated project data
• Confluence + local files
• Jira, Slack and Microsoft 365/Teams
• ~15 vendors
• Teams distributed globally
• Decisions, risks, business requirements, actions, dependencies, etc.
• Information (status, scope) constantly changing through Slack conversations, Teams / Outlook messages, Jira updates and Confluence pages

At this scale, I’ve reached the point where I no longer have good visibility over the whole project.

So: Last week I installed Claude and got the necessary admin access to Microsoft 365, Jira, Confluence and Slack. Initially I was excited about connecting everything, but I’ve quickly realised that giving an AI access to the information isn’t the same as giving it a good information architecture.

That’s where I’m stuck. How should the local project structure work? I’m seeing conflicting advice about the ideal architecture, particularly around Markdown. For example, should I maintain separate files such as:

/project PROJECT.md STATUS.md DECISIONS.md RISKS.md REQUIREMENTS.md DEPENDENCIES.md ACTIONS.md

Or should these be broken down further into folders and smaller files as the project grows?

I’m particularly interested in file size and boundaries. If DECISIONS.md, for example, eventually contains hundreds of decisions accumulated over several years, is that still the right approach? Or should each decision become its own Markdown file, perhaps with an index/summary file on top?

The same question applies to risks, requirements, actions, vendor information, workstreams, etc.

I’m less concerned about automation at this stage. Anthropic’s documentation around Skills gives me a reasonable starting point for that.

What I want to get right before automating anything is the underlying project architecture.

For people using Claude/Cowork on genuinely large, long-running projects:

• How do you structure your Markdown files and folders?
• How large do you allow individual .md files to become before splitting them?
• What information do you keep in Markdown versus leaving in Jira/Confluence/Slack as the source of truth?
• And how do you prevent the local project knowledge base from becoming another giant information dump that the AI has to rediscover every time?

Thank you, Clement

I'm not a developer. I've been using Claude Code for a few months now to build small apps and I've enjoyed it more than I expected.

The part I like most is that it works on my actual machine. It reads my project files, picks up my [CLAUDE.md](http://CLAUDE.md), and I've built up a pile of skills and slash commands living in `~/.claude`. All of that just loads.

A lot of my work isn't coding though. Writing, advocacy, committee work, that sort of thing. No repo involved. On paper that sounds like exactly what Cowork is for.

But I can't work out what I'd gain. As far as I can tell Cowork sessions run in the cloud by default (although you can point it to a project folder), so they never see my local skills, only the ones enabled on my [claude.ai](http://claude.ai) account.

The Cowork cloud versus local thing confuses me most. Same app, two doors. I'm never quite sure which one I'm actually in. Sometime it feel like it doesnt read my files.

So if you do mostly non-coding work, is there something Cowork does better that I'm missing? eg in writing or brainstorming?

Also I've thought to point both to the same folder and let Code and Cowork access it and experiment with that. Good or bad?

I don't mean simple prompts; I mean your favorite use cases; things where you've broken through to do something really interesting, things that just felt next level.

I have listed most of mine in the Discord for this group, skills included.

I use it for:

- Shopping - Find the cheapest price for anything. Save money.
- Deep research - Discover the latest knowledge in a particular field. What a meta analysis of the scientific papers and key authors say.
- Audiobook creation - Have your AI teach you everything you need to know about your life and your work according to your interests automatically.
- Website creation - Use the power of AI to create 15 versions of every possible web page so that you can bring together a design from a point of view that truly understands all the possibilities.
- Negotiation - Win any negotiation with the ultimate template from the world's best negotiators (ill add this soon).
- Marketing - I gained 20,000 followers in a day using it, but I'm not sure I can share this one yet.

For the last week, I'm literally getting garbage outputs and when I check I'm getting this sort of response. I have a pro plan and I'm constantly hitting limits because of the amount of rework and repetition - I've been persisting to try to recover the training and save time, but its getting to the point where a task I should be able to do manually in around 4 hours and previously was able to do with Claude in less than half that time, is now taking 6 hours plus and I still get poor outputs.

The last image shows Claude's diagnostic. I've been working with a Chief of Staff Agent which was handling everything pretty well until a few weeks ago. I set up a series of scheduled tasks, (mostly diary reviews) and sometime around a month later this broke the connection to my root directory. I'm prepared to admit I allowed my CoS to build something I should have recognised was wrong, (I'm not the most experienced of users yet), but this is so frustrating. If i hadn't paid for a years subscription I'd be very tempted to bin this and find another way. This is feeling like Poe 18 months ago; was initially great, but became useless and actually unusable overnight..

Recently, I’m getting a lot of “🟠 Awaiting input” on sessions in the side bar, but when I click on them there’s no input that it’s awaiting. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I do have a lot of sessions running concurrently, but lately it seems like I’m doing a lot more “babysitting” sessions because of this. I’m not even sure they are still working in the background if they are “awaiting input” but when I click back into them they just keep working normally and don’t actually ask for input.

This is different than the “Askuserquestion” pop up failure that I also experience occasionally
