Anthropic Integrates Claude Code into Slack for Enhanced Coding Collaboration

Anthropic Integrates Claude Code into Slack for Enhanced Coding Collaboration

Anthropic has introduced a new feature allowing Slack users to access its Claude Code directly within the platform. By tagging Claude in coding-related messages, users can automatically route tasks to Claude Code, utilizing context from Slack threads and authenticated code repositories. This feature is part of the existing Claude app for Slack and does not require additional downloads. The integration follows the recent launch of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 model, which claims to surpass Google's Gemini 3 in coding capabilities. However, the model still faces safety and security challenges, as early tests indicate it only refused 78% of requests to create malicious code.
