292292**How teammates share information:**
293293 
294294* **Automatic message delivery**: when teammates send messages, they're delivered automatically to recipients. The lead doesn't need to poll for updates.
295* **Idle notifications**: when a teammate finishes and stops, it automatically notifies the lead. The notification doesn't carry the teammate's output; a teammate shares results by messaging the lead or updating the shared task list. As of v2.1.198, a teammate whose turn ends on an API error notifies the lead that it failed and includes the error text, instead of appearing to finish normally.
295* **Idle notifications**: when a teammate finishes and stops, it automatically notifies the lead and includes its final answer in the notification. A teammate whose turn ends on an API error notifies the lead that it failed and includes the error text.
296296* **Shared task list**: [agents that have the Task tools](/docs/en/tools-reference#task-tool-availability) can see task status and claim available work.
297297* **Teammate messaging**: send a message to one specific teammate by name. To reach everyone, send one message per recipient.

412While agent teams are enabled, a subagent that Claude names in the lead's session launches as a teammate. Claude [can name subagents on its own](#how-claude-starts-agent-teams), so this can happen during delegation you never framed as team work. Subagents and teammates report back differently:

414* **Subagents**: Claude receives the subagent's result when it completes.
415* **Teammates**: the [idle notification](#context-and-communication) reports that the teammate stopped, without its output.

417An orchestration flow that waits on subagent results can stall. To make named subagents launch as subagents again, turn agent teams off by setting `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS` to `0`:
