What
A teammate is another Claude working alongside the main one in the same session, and it can be set up from a custom agent type, a saved definition of its role and tools. When a teammate running in the same process is resumed, Claude Code now checks whether its agent type is still allowed. If a deny rule, an allowlist or a plugin rules it out, the definition is not restored, and the teammate runs with only the tools a team needs. A message says the agent type can no longer be started in this session.
Why
Resuming a teammate no longer gets around a block on an agent type.
