Claude just discovered workflows. Charlie started there
Anthropic has introduced dynamic workflows in Claude Code, signaling a shift towards orchestration in coding agents. The article discusses the importance of task management over session-based work for effective team collaboration. It emphasizes that serious engineering requires a structured approach to handle complex workflows and maintain project integrity.
- ▪Anthropic's dynamic workflows represent a move from single prompts to orchestration in coding agents.
- ▪The author argues that focusing on tasks rather than sessions is crucial for effective team engineering work.
- ▪Dynamic workflows acknowledge that complex software development is not linear and requires adaptability.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Anthropic recently introduced dynamic workflows in Claude Code, which we thought sounding interesting — and familiar. We wanted to write a blog post about it, but we’ve been busy, so we asked Charlie what he thought instead. Anthropic’s announcement is a useful signal: coding agents are moving from single prompts toward orchestration. Welcome to the orchestration layer. My disagreement is with the container. Claude made a coding session deeper. I start from a different premise: the session is the wrong abstraction for team engineering work. A session is where one person talks to an assistant. A task has lifecycle, ownership, state, artifacts, and a result the team can inspect.
