Claude Tag is Anthropic's way for teams to work with Claude in Slack. Anthropic launched it on June 23, 2026, in beta for Claude Team and Enterprise plans. Tag @Claude in a thread with a task and a session starts in a sandbox your organization configures. It runs the same engine as Claude Code, so it can write code, open pull requests, and work with the tools an admin connects.
/resume.CLAUDE.md, rules, and skills load. Hooks don't run.~/.claude, personal settings.json, shell environment, and local MCP servers stay on your machine. Admins set channel connections instead, and credentials are attached at the network layer, outside the sandbox.Summarized from Anthropic's docs linked below. Anthropic says 65% of its product team's code now comes from its internal version. That is Anthropic's number, not an AItier measurement. Not an official Anthropic page.

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude.
— Claude (@claudeai) @claudeai · June 23, 2026
In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.
Claude Tag is a paradigm shift in how we ship products at Anthropic. Our internal version merges 65% of product PRs and this is our first product that is natively multi-player and proactive.

We're excited for you to try this out. Let us know your feedback!
Claude is really proactive with Claude Tag. You don’t need to prompt it to do work, it can do work proactively based on your instructions. It has excellent memory and access to your data, so it can behave differently per channel

We're launching Claude Tag today. Tag Claude into Slack and it works in channel with you. It’s proactive, multiplayer, with its own identity and memory.

But it’s not just a bot in Slack. Over the last few months, it’s totally changed how we use Claude
This is the start of Claude Everywhere. It’s Claude Code under the hood so it’s just as good at writing code. 65% of our product team’s new code is created by our internal version of Claude Tag
— Boris Cherny (@bcherny) @bcherny · June 23, 2026
Claude Tag is an evolution of Claude Code, made more proactive and built to work with a full team. It’s now one of the main ways we get things done at Anthropic: 65% of our product team's code now comes from our internal version.

Claude Fable 5 is now available in Claude Tag.
A weird experiment I've been trying the last few weeks is having Claude take over day-to-day maintenance of our apps. Seeing early signs of life that this might be possible.
— Boris Cherny (@bcherny) @bcherny · August 13, 2026
The setup is straightforward: we have a Slack channel called proj-claude-maintains-apps. In it, Claude
Fable 5.1 makes Claude Tag even more useful. Here it builds a last-minute leadership deck from a metrics spreadsheet and other data across Slack, spots a vendor report that disagrees with the numbers, and flags it before moving on.
