Introducing Claude Tag
Summary
Claude Tag is a Slack-based way for teams to delegate work to Claude by tagging @Claude in shared channels, with access to selected tools, data, and codebases. Claude breaks requests into stages, uses permitted tools, replies in threads, retains relevant channel context, and can pursue scheduled tasks asynchronously; ambient behavior can also surface information and follow up on unresolved work. Administrators scope Claude identities, memories, tools, and information by channel, set organization- and channel-level token-spend limits, and review activity logs, while users can also message Claude privately. Available in beta to Claude Enterprise and Team customers, Claude Tag replaces the existing Claude in Slack app, works with Opus 4.8, and is credited with creating 65% of the product team’s code through Anthropic’s internal version.
Context
Claude Tag is intended to support collaborative work between teams and AI, making Claude more proactive and useful across team workflows. Slack was selected as the initial environment because it is described as a natural home for collaborative work and is already used extensively for day-to-day work at Anthropic.
Approach / What changed
Claude joins selected Slack channels as a team member with administrator-controlled access to tools, data, and codebases. Users tag @Claude with requests, after which it stages the work, uses permitted tools, responds in a thread, retains relevant channel context, and can act asynchronously or proactively. Administrators define channel-scoped identities and permissions, set token-spend limits, and review activity logs.
Takeaways
Claude Tag supports one shared Claude per Slack channel, allowing everyone in that channel to see its work and continue the conversation from where another person left off.
Administrators can separate Claude identities by channel so memories, tools, and data remain scoped; they can also set organization- and channel-level token-spend limits and inspect task logs.
Claude Tag is available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, replaces the existing Claude in Slack app, and works with Opus 4.8.
