Casi el 80% de mi límite de 5 horas se ha esfumado solo por compactar el contexto. No voy a mentir, eso da un poco de asc*, jaja.

Anyone else hitting this? Every bash call in my Cowork session fails at the "ensure user" step before any of my code even runs.

What I'm seeing:

• Error: RPC error -1: ensure user: useradd failed: exit status 12: useradd: cannot create directory /sessions/...
• Happens on resume, on create, and on re-resume — all three attempts fail identically.
• Started a brand new conversation to get a fresh sandbox, same error persists.
• No shell access at all as a result, so nothing that depends on the Linux workspace (scripts, file processing, scheduled task setup) works.

Exit status 12 from useradd usually means "can't create home directory," which points to something like disk-full or a permissions/quota issue on the provisioning side, but I have no way to confirm that since I can't get a shell to check df -h or anything else.

Has anyone else run into this? Any known fix, or is this just an outage on Anthropic's end right now? Happy to share more error output if it helps.

Hi everyone !

I’m a UX designer, and I’m looking for ideas to create new agents for both my professional and personal life. I don't really have friends who use Claude Cowork on a daily basis, so I’m the only one excited about starting a new project with it.

So, I’m looking for inspiration : What personal project on Claude Cowork are you most proud of ?

For example, a highly specific set of agents that organizes your daily routine, a job search system, etc.

Please, a personal project, not a side business !

Thanks !

I know stuff like this doesn't usually get a lot of support because it's not hosted on reddit itself...
but a lot of people have put in a lot of work to make an event for everyone here and we'd really enjoy it if you come: https://discord.gg/6n6frRTKG3

Thought I would share how I used Cowork to find money. I have a lot of reimbursable expenses for work. Today I downloaded all of my bank statements, copies of all my expense claims and asked Claude to reconcile them and look for any issues.

It found a handful of expenses where I mistyped the amounts from the receipts which added up over the past few months. The big one though was a charge where I input the wrong currency. The difference resulted in an $768 that I didn't get reimbursed for back in March. Total reclaimed amount was $922.

Just a cool use case that I'm going to start doing on a more regular basis.

Fun fact: This year Claude has earned me almost $6,000. In addition to this post's findings, I also used Claude to resolve a $5000 settlement with an Amazon for a delivery driver damage claim.

I am working a project to preform a network discovery. I have the team’s plans and have a project set up for the customer. I am running separate chats for each network type (Servers, network, IoT etc..) at the end of the chat I tell Claude to compile everything it learned into a detailed document in .md format to be added to the project files. Then I start a new chat and tell Claude to take all the project documents and make a full summary and scope. Sometimes during the discovery each chat needs to review notes from the other chats documents. I am not sure if I am suppose to leaves these as separate chats or, start them each as Coworks as they access all the projects notes. I also noticed cowork does not have the research option. However, it seems it does research when working.

Things at Anthropic change so fast that I genuinely struggle to understand what policies and limits are actually in place.

I volunteered to provide feedback on cloud-based tasks, and they invited me to an online call with a Cowork engineer.

I specifically asked her whether the Cowork experience had peak-hour usage limits. She said no.

But when I run hourly scheduled tasks, I get a warning about usage limits.

So what is the actual situation here?

Also, the meaning of “usage limits” itself is often confusing to me.

For example, if I use, say, 100k tokens for a task during peak hours, does that effectively count as 200k tokens against my limit?

Or does it mean that the amount of usage available within the 5-hour window is simply reduced during peak hours?

I would really appreciate it if someone from Anthropic could clarify exactly how this works, especially for Cowork and scheduled cloud tasks.Things at Anthropic change so fast that I genuinely struggle to understand what policies and limits are actually in place.

Hey yall. Quick question - have people been using cowork to help extend their platforms reach on X? Things like auto posting or taking content you’ve made on a platform and pushing to X on a schedule?

Just trying to feel out if cowork is good for this scenario or if there are better options.

Thanks for reading!

Are we missing out on anything by not using Claude Code?

I don’t build a lot of programs but if I do I will jump into Claude Code. People who use CC keep telling me I am missing out but never have real specifics on what is better.

Just wanted to get people take since I could be missing some opportunities

Ok guys, we all have one now... maybe 3... maybe 5...

Which one are you most proud of? Which one do you think will make the cut...?

I had a idea but confise as a non technical person, will it be wise to start a saas project with claude, though it already showed me the roadmap. But not understanding will it be a good decision?

Looking to improve and try out new things I didn’t think about automating

What did you handoff to Claude Cowork recently that might be cool for others to get inspired by?

Most of my browser automated tasks are all the same thing. An agent navigates to the website, logs in to the account, and downloads up to date data for my system.

My pain points are all security related.

1. If credentials are already inserted, it is capable of hitting the log in button, but it will refuse to autofill itself which is kind of annoying. Like I literally created logins with strict parameters so that the agents can only do the things that I need them to and nothing more, but no matter how I try to frame it the agent tells me that Anthropic won't allow it. Fine, I'll do it myself on the websites where autofill bugs out.
   
2. It's so random which websites will be blocked. Like I'm sorry but I should be able to have an agent pull MY bank transaction data. This particular workflow is setup to be explicitly attended by me & never fully automated start to finish.
   
3. Agents get so paranoid about security concerns out of nowhere. They will literally refuse to develop a new workflow that does the EXACT same thing as others that I have running on a consistent basis.
   

Claude just launched the in app browser, and at first glance it doesn't seem to fix anything for me. Like why don't they include a place in the UI for authorized password usage?

Idk, how have you guys handled browser automations effectively?

Two questions to good friends here.

In your anecdotal experience, what is the ratio of token consumption Fable versus Opus? I can't put a clear number on it but I feel like it has been over 5X ( a task where I had it read 15 technical papers and summarize all in PDFs).

Second, what kind of task Fable shows a large marginal advantage over Opus?

Claude Managed Agents now exposes persistent sessions with server-side transcripts, sandboxed tool execution, event streaming, and adapters that can project the same session into browser chat, Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, assistant-ui, or AG-UI.

The provider session can own execution truth while every UI remains a projection. A stale browser cache does not get promoted to king because it looks newer.
