Bug Description
Bug in claude code when using teammates.
A teammate will almost always try to finish its task before checking teammate inbox. Which means that if your team lead sends messages, they can be ignored for a very long time. This is especially frustrating when the team lead is trying to change the teammate's course of action.
The workaround I use. Create an instruction/skill etc... team lead must call TaskStop on teammate immediately after sending a message to that teammate.
When teammate stops it immediately gets any messages.
