I've been looking for a tool like this, that lets Claude operate on multiple repos. I work on a project that has frontend/packages and backend (separate repos instead of a monorepo for good reasons) and I often develop features that cross both repos. With the terminal I can clone both down into a directory and start Claude code there, but all the tools for background/multiplexing are always built around a single repo. Any chance I can get multi-repo tasks supported?

Here is what worked for me.

1. Place all your repos inside a parent directory and name them accordingly (frontend, backend, devops, etc.)

2. Each repo has its own claude file.

3. The parent repo has a claude file that links these claude files.

I’ve had claude successfully navigate across these and uses services with back-end, setup terraform infra and then complete the implementation for the front-end.

Yes if I just run Claude Code it works fine. But I want to be able to use any of these multiplexing tools (eg Codex, Cursor Background Agents, this Conductor tool) in the same scenario.
The problem is worktrees in this case.
