Code with Claude introduced two major capabilities: Managed Agents for coordinating fleets of agents on complex tasks, and Routines — higher-order prompts enabling asynchronous automation including overnight PR generation. The CI auto-fix feature automatically corrects failing PRs, and Remote Agents allow controlling laptops via phone. Anthropic confirmed their own teams now use Claude Code Review across all internal engineering workflows.
