A dynamic workflow is a script that orchestrates subagents. What does the script itself hold that a conversation doing the same work would otherwise be holding?

The sequence the agents run in, while each agent's working output still arrives in your conversation as it is produced
The loop, the branching and the intermediate results, so what reaches the conversation is the final answer aloneCorrect answer
The arrangement for running many agents at the same time, since doing the work concurrently is what the whole thing is for
The wording of a prompt you saved and re-run whenever the same job comes round again, rather than anything that executes

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. The loop, the branching and the intermediate results, so what reaches the conversation is the final answer alone

Explanation

The principle — a workflow moves the plan out of the conversation and into something that executes, and the context saving follows from where the working state is kept.

Why the key is correct — Anthropic defines it in three steps. A dynamic workflow is a JavaScript script that orchestrates subagents at scale. A workflow moves the plan into code. And the consequence: a workflow script holds the loop, the branching, and the intermediate results itself, so Claude's context holds only the final answer.

Why the others are wrong — a saved prompt cannot loop or branch. Concurrency is a by-product rather than the purpose. And intermediate results landing in the conversation is the thing the arrangement is built to prevent.

Remember this — the script holds the working state; the conversation gets the answer.
