## Summary

Lydia Hallie, an Anthropic employee, says dynamic workflows do not need hundreds of subagents and she uses them with about 10 for repeatable tasks. She says a workflow is an editable JavaScript file that gives full control over the subagents and their run order, which she calls more predictable than a skill.

It's a JavaScript file you can edit, so you have full control over the subagents and the order they run in. More predictable than a skill!
