10831083* When a subagent completes, Claude receives its agent ID.
10841084* The built-in Explore and Plan agents are one-shot and return no agent ID, so Claude can't resume them. Use `general-purpose` or a custom subagent when you need to continue the work.
1085* When a subagent stops at its [`maxTurns`](#supported-frontmatter-fields) limit, Claude Code marks the returned output as partial. For subagents that return an agent ID, Claude Code also notes in the result that Claude can message the subagent to continue from where it stopped.
1085* When a subagent stops at its [`maxTurns`](#supported-frontmatter-fields) limit, Claude Code marks the returned output as partial, and Claude can resume the subagent to continue its work.

10871087Claude uses the `SendMessage` tool with the agent's ID or name as the `to` field to resume it. `SendMessage` doesn't require [agent teams](/docs/en/agent-teams) to be enabled; only structured team-protocol messages such as `shutdown_request` and `plan_approval_response` do. Beyond subagents and teammates, in sessions where cross-session messaging is enabled, Claude can use the same tool to message [your other Claude Code sessions](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging), on this machine or [beyond it](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#message-sessions-on-other-machines).
