Recover a Team Member Onto Its Worktree
A stopped team writer can come back on the same dedicated worktree it was already using. Closing a seat no longer forces its replacement into the project root or a brand-new checkout, so dirty, allowed changes stay where they were — and the replacement inherits the transcript of the seat it took over from.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Losing a seat should not mean losing the seat's work. When a replacement landed in the project root or a fresh checkout, any work in progress in the original's dedicated worktree was suddenly somewhere the new agent was not looking — doing exactly what you asked, in a directory nobody was reading. Recovery now keeps the checkout. From the team host, team capabilities reports what recovery can actually do before you rely on it, and team recover brings the member back with its transcript handed over so it knows what the previous seat had established. Pointing a new terminal team member at an existing worktree keeps that worktree rather than recreating it, and a path that does not exist is refused instead of being silently replaced with a fresh one.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Ask what recovery can do
From the team host, team capabilities reports what recovery supports for this team before you rely on it.
Recover the member
team recover --team --member --expected-run --client-request-id brings the seat back, optionally on a different agent or model.
Keep the checkout
The replacement lands on the same dedicated worktree the stopped writer was using, so dirty, allowed changes stay where they were.
Inherit the transcript
The replacement receives the previous seat's transcript, so it knows what was already established instead of starting cold.
Reuse a worktree deliberately
Point a new terminal team member at an existing worktree and it is kept, not recreated. A missing path is refused rather than silently replaced.
