Agent workflows with shared work

Personal and team sharing make Claude Code, Codex, other CLI-capable agents, and MCP clients useful across shared work, not just your personal history.

When someone shares a source, repository, session, context, or folder with you, the readable scope becomes available through MCP and the CLI. Agents can inspect shared roots, traverse collaborative context folders, search one person's sources, read the matching transcript or context, and cite where the answer came from. Repository/session exclusions and folder overrides are enforced before results are returned.

Common workflows:

• Debug from someone else's session — search a collaborator's shared Claude Code or Codex sessions for the error, migration, or release blocker they already investigated
• Get project continuity — ask an agent to summarize what changed across shared sessions before you pick up the work
• Build launch or customer briefs — combine your own contexts with shared research, support notes, and implementation sessions, then save the result in an Editor shared folder
• Collaborate through agents — on a shared or collaboration-enrolled context, let an MCP or CLI agent update the same synchronized document that people are editing in Nessie
• Review decision history — reconstruct why an approach was chosen by searching shared conversations across owners and integrations

MCP flow:

1. Call nessie_integration_list to discover direct and team-shared roots; call nessie_team_list only when you need team membership or team-derived resources
2. Call nessie_ls to browse roots; open the Contexts root to find collaborative folders
3. Search with nessie_grep, using owner, parentId, or repos to preserve the requested scope
4. Read the matching node with nessie_cat, nessie_head, or nessie_tail
5. Use nessie_replace_lines, nessie_sed, nessie_tee, or nessie_mv only where the authenticated user has Editor access

CLI flow:

1. Run nessie integration list to discover direct and team-shared roots; use nessie team list only for team-derived access
2. Run nessie ls to browse readable roots; open the Contexts root for collaborative folders
3. Search a shared scope with nessie grep "query" --owner
4. Read the matching node or transcript with nessie cat
5. Create, move, or edit caller-owned contexts only in folders where the user has Editor access
