Cross-machine session sync: connect Claude Code instances across multiple machines

Feature Request: Cross-Machine Session Synchronization

The Problem

Currently each Claude Code session is fully independent. There's no way to coordinate work across multiple machines from a single conversation or shared context.

The Use Case

Real-world development often spans multiple machines:

  • Mac — development, planning, code editing
  • Windows — compilation (e.g. MetaEditor/MQL5), platform-specific testing
  • Linux — CI, environment checks, server-side validation
  • Web (claude.ai) — monitoring progress, answering questions on the go

Today, the user must manually relay information between independent sessions. This is slow and error-prone.

The Opportunity

Claude Code already has the agent↔server connection infrastructure. Extending this to allow session synchronization across machines and clients would be transformative:

  1. Unified conversation — one conversation context, multiple execution environments
  2. Cross-machine tool execution — "compile on Windows, edit on Mac" from a single prompt
  3. Web as observer/commander — see what agents are doing, issue commands from claude.ai
  4. Shared context — all machines see the same plan, progress, and state

Proposed Behavior

  • Register multiple Claude Code instances (different machines) under one session/workspace
  • Route commands to specific machines ("run this on Windows", "check this on Linux")
  • Web client can observe all connected agents and send commands to any of them
  • Shared conversation history across all connected instances

Why This Matters

This would turn Claude Code from a single-machine tool into a distributed development orchestrator. Many developers work across OS boundaries (cross-compilation, platform-specific testing, mobile + backend). The infrastructure for agent↔server communication already exists — this is a natural extension.
