A harness for every task: dynamic workflows in Claude Code

Last week, we released dynamic workflows in Claude Code. Claude can now write its own harness on the fly, custom-built for the task at hand.

While the default Claude Code harness is built for coding, it is also useful for many other types of tasks because, as it turns out, many tasks resemble coding tasks. But there are certain classes of tasks where we have had to build custom harnesses on top of Claude Code to achieve peak performance such as Research, security analysis, agent teams, or Code Review.

Workflows allow you to dynamically create harnesses that enable Claude to solve all of those problems and more natively inside of Claude Code. You can also share and re-use these workflows with others.

In this article, I’ll cover my initial workflows experiences and learnings so you can take full advantage.

That said, best practices are still developing! Dynamic workflows often use more tokens, so think carefully about when and how to use them. Note: this post is also available on the Claude Blog
