Claude Code’s new Ultra Plan feature transforms project planning by moving it from the terminal to an interactive web-based interface, enabling visual plan tracking, collaboration through comments and emojis, and flexible execution either remotely in the cloud or locally. This upgrade enhances productivity by allowing users to monitor progress in real-time, approve plans, and seamlessly switch between web and terminal environments for coding.
Claude Code has introduced a new feature called Ultra Plan, which significantly enhances the planning process by moving it from the terminal to a rich web-based interface. Unlike the traditional plan command that runs entirely in the terminal and can be difficult to navigate, Ultra Plan allows users to see the plan visually on the web. This new interface supports interactive elements such as leaving emojis and comments on specific parts of the plan, making collaboration and review much easier.
One of the key benefits of Ultra Plan is its flexibility in execution. Users can approve the plan and start coding directly within the web interface, allowing the process to continue running even if the user’s computer is turned off. Alternatively, users can approve the plan and teleport back to their local terminal to run the code there. This dual approach offers convenience and adaptability depending on the user’s workflow and preferences.
To use Ultra Plan, users need to ensure they are on the latest version of Claude Code. The command to initiate it is /ultra plan followed by a prompt describing the project or task. Once started, the plan runs remotely in the cloud, and users receive a URL to monitor progress. This setup requires selecting a repository for the web-based coding environment, which Claude Code can assist with automatically if needed.
The web interface for Ultra Plan is highly interactive, allowing users to follow the plan’s development in real-time, answer questions posed by Claude, and even skip steps if desired. Meanwhile, the terminal remains available for other tasks, as the planning and coding continue to run in the background. This seamless integration between terminal and web enhances productivity and provides a clearer overview of the project’s progress.
Overall, Ultra Plan represents a major upgrade in how Claude Code handles project planning and execution. By combining the power of cloud-based interactive planning with the flexibility of local or remote coding, it streamlines the development process and improves user experience. The video encourages viewers to try out Ultra Plan and join a community for further learning and support with Claude Code.
