Claude Code Agent Teams: Setup, Commands, and Use Cases

Claude Code Agent Teams are an experimental, interactive-only feature that enables a lead Claude Code session to coordinate multiple independent teammate sessions with separate context windows, direct messaging, a shared task list, and local mailbox files. Enabled through the CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS setting, teams can run in a single terminal or supported split-pane environments, reuse version-controlled subagent role definitions, and are best suited to work requiring independent investigation, debate, or cross-domain review. Anthropic documentation cited in the guide estimates that planning teams use roughly seven times the tokens of a standard session, making subagents or a single session more appropriate for small, sequential, same-file, or heavily dependent tasks. The guide describes configuration options, task and permission controls, hooks for enforcing completion criteria, troubleshooting issues such as hidden teammates and stalled tasks, and limitations including no headless CI support, nested teams, or teammate restoration after session resumption. It recommends beginning with bounded read-only reviews and emphasizes external browser-based verification, presenting TestMu AI’s Kane CLI as a tool for validating rendered user interfaces and reporting structured test results.
