Dynamic workflows, in my experience, make Claude more effective at complex long-running tasks. They help precisely with getting Claude to do the task correctly.
It feels more like a bespoke build system for the specific task/project than prompting a freeform chat.
As long as agents are fuzzy (which they will continue to be with the Transformers architecture), the need to validate will continue to exist. I cannot imagine merging code without at least 1 human review.
I've used agents quite a bit and I agree.
The current baseline workflow is something like agent output -> human review -> agent refinement -> human review -> agent refinement -> ...
But agents are capable of making meaningful improvements to their own output. I'm hoping dynamic workflows move towards something like:
agent output -> agent review -> agent refinement -> (cycle to fixed point) -> final human review
