Claude Cowork drops with Agent Skills 2.0 framework

Anthropic's Claude Cowork represents a major shift from chat-based AI to truly autonomous, multi-agent systems that can work independently on your desktop.

• –Agent Skills 2.0 treats workflows as programs that can spawn isolated subagents with their own context windows.
• –The Dispatch feature allows users to trigger long-running missions from mobile devices while their desktop executes the work.
• –Containerized Linux sandboxing (VZ VM) ensures a secure environment for Claude to execute shell commands and manage files locally.
• –It brings the agentic power of a CLI tool to a polished desktop GUI for non-developers.
• –Deep integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects Cowork to external tools like Notion and Asana.
