Claude Code is built for one person at a keyboard, so teams collaborate around it. There are four common ways: share a screen, paste logs and transcripts, pass the work through git, or share the session itself. Each is right for something, and each loses something.
What are the ways to collaborate on Claude Code work?
| Method | Teammate sees | Teammate can act | Record afterward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen share or call | Your screen, live | Only by telling you what to type | None, unless someone records it |
| Pasted logs or a transcript | What you chose to paste | Only by starting their own session | The paste, without the agent’s context |
| Git branch and pull request | The code changes | Review and commit on top | The history of commits |
| Shared session in Friday | Every step, live | Suggest redirects, or take control as an editor | The session record, replayable |
When is screen sharing enough?
For a quick look together while both people are online, a call with a shared screen is hard to beat. It costs nothing and needs no setup. It stops working when the teammate is in another time zone, when a third person wants to follow, or when somebody asks next week why the agent made a change. Nobody but you can steer, and nothing is kept.
What goes wrong with pasted logs?
A pasted transcript shows what happened but not what the agent knows. The teammate who starts a fresh session re-reads the same files and tries what you already ruled out. You choose what to paste, so the dead ends and the reasons are usually the parts that get left out.
Claude Code’s own share links are read-only too, as covered in how to share a Claude Code session with your team. They suit a record, such as a bug report. They do not let anyone act.
What does git give you, and what does it leave out?
Git is the right channel for the result. A branch and a pull request carry the code, the review and the history, and every team already has them. Git does not carry the conversation behind the change. The prompt, the files the agent read and the approaches it dropped stay on one person’s machine, so a reviewer sees a diff and has to guess the intent.
Which should you use?
- To show a result: a pull request, with the prompt and findings in its description.
- To get a quick second opinion while you are both online: a screen share.
- To keep a record of one run: a read-only share link or an exported transcript.
- To work on the same task, hand it over, or let a teammate catch up later: a shared session.
If you already have a session going, you do not need to start over. See how to continue it with your team.
