What

A settings key that gives Claude an advisory size hint for the dynamic workflows it writes, with four accepted values.

Details
  • Accepts "unrestricted", "small", "medium" or "large": small is under 5 agents, medium (the default) under 15, large under 50
  • A settings-file or managed value takes precedence over the "Dynamic workflow size" row in /config, and that row is hidden entirely while a settings file supplies the key
  • The /config row now also shows whether the current value is the default
  • The /config row appears only when the workflows feature is on
Usage
{"workflowSizeGuideline":"small"}
