dynamic-workflows skillA

dynamic-workflows is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: This skill should be used when an agent is deciding whether to author a dynamic workflow — a self-authored, ephemeral multi-agent harness — for a task. Use when the user asks about "dynamic workflows", "multi-agent harness", "fan-out", "subagents in parallel", "adversarial verification", "the ultracode trigger", "should I use a workflow", or when a task looks long-running, massively parallel, highly structured, or adversarial. Names the six composable patterns, the election rubric for when NOT t.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Dynamic Workflows

A **dynamic workflow** is a self-authored, ephemeral multi-agent harness:
a small program an agent writes for one task, runs once, and discards. It
spawns subagents, gives each its own clean context window and model tier,
optionally isolates them in worktrees, and coordinates their results. The
capability and its patterns originate from Anthropic's "A harness for
every task: dynamic workflows in Claude Code" (Shihipar & Bidasaria,
2026); the runtime is triggered by the word `ultracode`.

This skill is **knowledge agents read, not a script they run** — a
sibling of [`harness-engineering`](../harness-engineering/SKILL.md) and
[`context-engineering`](../context-engineering/SKILL.md). It answers three
questions before any workflow is authored:

1. **When** is a workflow warranted? — see
   [`references/when-not-to-use.md`](references/when-not-to-use.md).
2. **Which** pattern fits? — see
   [`references/patterns.md`](references/patterns.md).
3. **How** does the plugin's governance constrain it? — see
   [`references/governance.md`](references/governance.md).
