crewrota docs
crewrota is a command line tool that runs Claude Code as one of your crew members.
A crew member is one Claude login in its own folder; a ship lets several members share history, so --resume finds a session another member started.
Install it with npm install -g crewrota, add a member with crew add <member>, and type crew to pick a member and start Claude.
Who it is for
Section titled “Who it is for”crewrota is for one person running their own Claude subscriptions.
If one plan runs out before your work does, you can keep each login signed in, carry your sessions across them, and see which one has room, without signing out and in again.
Your main ~/.claude login is never touched: each member has its own folder under ~/.crewrota/members/.

Your logins
Section titled “Your logins”crewrota never copies or moves a login; to read usage, quota-axi uses each member’s own sign-in on your machine. Each member signs in through Claude Code’s own login, and that login stays in the member’s folder. Read Your accounts and Anthropic’s terms before you use several accounts.
