Summary

Anthropic quietly shipped /workflows in Claude Code, replacing LLM orchestrators with code-based control flow to avoid token tax and context sloppiness.

ANTHROPIC QUIETLY SHIPPED /workflows IN CLAUDE CODE and the principle behind it is what got me old pattern → one LLM orchestrates everything. spawns sub-agents, holds every result, plans the next step the problem...? every sub-agent result re-enters the orchestrator's context spin up 10 agents and your main session pays a "token tax" getting sloppier as the window fills. /workflows replaces the LLM orchestrator with code you define a workflow.js file. code handles the control flow. the model only handles judgment inside each step use code for what code is good at use models for what models are good at that's the whole idea

ANTHROPIC QUIETLY SHIPPED /workflows IN CLAUDE CODE

and the principle behind it is what got me

old pattern → one LLM orchestrates everything. spawns sub-agents, holds every result, plans the next step

the problem…? every sub-agent result re-enters the orchestrator’s context spin up 10 agents and your main session pays a “token tax” getting sloppier as the window fills.

/workflows replaces the LLM orchestrator with code

you define a workflow.js file. code handles the control flow. the model only handles judgment inside each step

use code for what code is good at use models for what models are good at

that’s the whole idea

A thread explaining how Anthropic's dynamic workflows in Claude Code allow Claude to build custom harnesses for complex tasks, preventing failure modes like agentic laziness, self-preferential bias, and goal drift by splitting work across separate agents. It includes practical examples and patterns for users to implement.
