Claude Code now supports orchestrating multiple AI agent instances working together as a team. Agent teams enable parallel work through independent Claude sessions that share a task list, communicate via messaging, and coordinate through a lead agent. Best suited for research, code review, debugging with competing hypotheses, and cross-layer development where parallel exploration adds value. Teams can run in-process or split-pane mode (requires tmux/iTerm2), with teammates claiming tasks from a shared list or receiving direct assignments. Each teammate maintains its own context window and can be messaged directly. The feature is experimental, requires enabling via environment variable, and uses significantly more tokens than single sessions.
