Claude Opus 4.8 added dynamic workflows to Claude Code, and they look a lot like skills, subagents, agent teams, and the /goal feature, so it's easy to get confused about when you'd actually reach for one. 

In this video I break down what dynamic workflows really are, how they stack up against everything else on the complexity ladder, why one prompt burned through half my $200 monthly plan, and the simple question I ask before deciding if a job is even worth a workflow. 

I also cover the hidden stuff like ultracode mode and /deep-research so you don't accidentally torch your session limit.
