It lists each worker with its tool-call count and last activity and asks Claude to post a status update or change approach. It is off unless `CLAUDE_CODE_COORDINATOR_WORKER_CHECKIN_SECONDS` is set, which also gives the interval in seconds.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Requires coordinator mode, enabled via `CLAUDE_CODE_COORDINATOR_MODE`, in addition to the interval variable.\n- The timer is torn down once no dispatched workers remain.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`Coordinator check-in: dispatched work still running`\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_COORDINATOR_WORKER_CHECKIN_SECONDS`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
