Claude Managed Agents dynamic workflows
Anthropic added dynamic workflows to Claude Managed Agents in beta. An agent can write a workflow that runs many agents in phases, and the server runs it in the background.
For work with many pieces, such as reviewing hundreds of documents, the agent can now write a workflow. A workflow is a program that runs many agents in phases and combines their results, and the server runs it in the background as a workflow run. Developers turn it on by setting the agent's multiagent field to {"type": "multiagent_20261001", "workflows": {"type": "enabled"}}. They can guide when the agent starts a run through its system prompt, and they follow each run through workflow_run.* events on the session's event stream.
