What it does

Dynamic Workflows is an agent 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 to spend the extra…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/governance.md`, `references/patterns.md` and `references/when-not-to-use.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Quizzes and assessments, Multi-agent orchestration and Subagents. The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about dynamic workflows
  • Multi-agent harness
  • Subagents in parallel
  • Adversarial verification

Example prompts

  • “dynamic workflows”
  • “multi-agent harness”
  • “fan-out”
  • “/dynamic-workflows”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. When is a workflow warranted? — see
  2. Which pattern fits? — see
  3. How does the plugin's governance constrain it? — see

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • code.claude.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dynamic Workflows loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 156 tokens; SKILL.md has 872 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~156
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 872 words (~1,927 tokens).

“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…”
