If you use Claude Code’s team-mode features, heads up: the explicit team tools (TeamCreate/TeamDelete) are gone as of ~2.1.178. Yesterday I found the TeamCreate tool disappeared (with CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1). some digging revealed that this is simplified and merged to regular subagents. TL;DR: You no longer create a team. Spawn named background subagents and they become teammates. They can message the main conversation (which previously regular subagents can’t), hold state across turns, and the lead can shut them down. What changed for using team mode: Old way: call TeamCreate, register named members, call TeamDelete to tear the whole team down. New way: Agent(name=“worker”, run_in_background=true) . The teammate is addressable, it can SendMessage(to=“main”) back to main agent.
