// Persistent Workspaces for Long-Lived Claude Code Agent Teams // Four issues to be aware of: > Working state vanishes when a terminal closes and the team cannot be resumed. > Compaction condenses the conversation and blurs each agent's working detail. > Decisions and operations get trapped in compacted chats, which accumulates as agentic technical debt. > Every handoff needs another long prompt. ATWZ is a filesystem operations layer built around Claude Code's native Agent Teams. Each agent gets a workstation directory holding its working state alongside the skills, hooks and scripts that maintain those files. The team backs up periodically so knowledge survives compaction, and a single command restores the whole team after the process ends. Agents also send documents to one another inside the workspace, which replaces most of the handoff prompt writing. Paper: Track more trending AI papers in our academy:
