Spawn and coordinate multiple AI agents working in parallel on a project. Teams have a 1:1 correspondence with task lists (Team = Project = TaskList).

> Use TeammateTool with operation "spawnTeam" and team_name "my-project"

# Spawn teammates via the Task tool with team_name and name parameters
> Use Task tool to spawn a teammate named "researcher" for team "my-project"
Details
  • Create teams with spawnTeam operation
  • Teams automatically create corresponding task list directories at ~/.claude/tasks/{team-name}/
  • Team configuration stored at ~/.claude/teams/{team-name}/config.json
  • Teammates can communicate via write (single recipient) or broadcast (all teammates)
  • Graceful shutdown workflow with requestShutdown → approveShutdown/rejectShutdown
  • Plan approval workflow for teammates: approvePlan/rejectPlan
  • Cleanup team resources when done with cleanup operation
