𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜. Claude is retiring its older “tasks on this computer” feature. Your existing tasks should keep working for now… 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺. Instead, Anthropic is pushing people toward two newer options: ✅ 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 for work connected to files, folders, local tools, scripts, and projects on your computer. ✅ 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲’𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 for research, writing, analysis, and other work that doesn’t need to run directly on your laptop.[claude] Now, before we make this a dramatic “Claude is taking away another feature” post… 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜. The tools will change. The interfaces will change. The names will change. Features will appear, move, merge, and disappear. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀. That means saving: • Your best prompts • Your reusable instructions • Your workflows and SOPs • Your important reference files • Your automations and the logic behind them • Your task context—not just the link to the task Because if your entire AI workflow lives inside one tool, one chat, or one button… …you don’t really have a workflow. You have a rental. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲’𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗱 𝗱𝗼: 1️⃣ Download the task data for anything important. 2️⃣ Save the ZIP file somewhere you control. 3️⃣ Test moving one non-critical task into Claude Code. 4️⃣ Document what the task does before the old system goes away. 5️⃣ Treat the migration as a chance to clean up and improve the workflow. This is exactly why I teach people not to use AI like a vending machine: “Here’s my request. Give me an answer. Next.” The real leverage comes when you build repeatable systems you can carry with you—even when the platform changes.[Memory] 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱?👇
