Lydia Hallie (Claude team) shares her take on dynamic workflows: you don't need hundreds of subagents — even 10 works well for any task you want rerun the same way every time.
Key point: a dynamic workflow is just an editable JavaScript file, giving you full control over the subagents and their execution order, making it more predictable than a skill.
