Claude Code launches dynamic workflows in research preview to deploy parallel subagent fleets for complex tasks
Parallel execution can significantly increase token consumption

ClaudeDevs@ClaudeDevsNew in Claude Code (research preview): dynamic workflows. Claude writes an orchestration script on the fly, then spins up a large fleet of coordinated subagents in parallel to take on your most complex tasks. Use the word "workflow" in a prompt to get started.
The paper defines the following criteria for an RLM:
1. An RLM must give the underlying LLM a symbolic handle to the user prompt P (and the output stream)
2. An RLM requires *symbolic recursion* over P, which is what Anthropic calls "dynamic workflows".

This is an idea I have been using for like 4 months now.
Very easy to do with -p or Agent SDK.
I doubt I will use CC for it, but great to see a native implementation of dynamic workflows.
Agent-to-agent interactions are super effective, but also watch out for token use.

To be clear, I have an independent solution that works with any coding agent backend. I actually built it like that because I have been testing dynamic workflows across subagents from different providers. Efficiency is a real problem with these dynamic workflows.

Excited to share our most powerful new Claude Code feature: dynamic workflows!
Mention "workflow" in a prompt and Claude will dynamically create an orchestration plan that it strictly follows, allowing you to confidently trust that every stage happens in the right order even across 100s of agents.
Recently, I used dynamic workflows to catalogue all of our 100s of A/B test flags and find the ones rolled out to 0% or 100% so that we can quickly deprecate the stale ones. Instead of waiting for Claude Code to investigate each sequentially, dynamic workflows allowed Claude to process all of them in parallel in <10 minutes.

#853alex zhang@A1ZHANGIn case you're curious about why dynamic workflows are so powerful and the future, read the RLM paper! Opus 4.8 + dynamic workflows in Claude Code is perhaps the first instance of a frontier model seriously trained to be an RLM.
I suspect within a year they'll just become the standard for nearly all coding agent interactions.
