You'll notice
The default workflow-size guideline is now stricter and varies by account plan
What
Claude Code's guidance for how many agents a dynamic workflow should use has changed:
- The "medium" tier now aims for fewer than 10 agents, down from fewer than 15.
- The unset default is now "medium" in general, but "small" (fewer than 5 agents) specifically on Pro plans.
- The
Workflowtool's internal prompt text and theworkflowSizeGuidelinesetting both now factor in whether the account is on the Pro tier when computing this default.
Why
This keeps workflows smaller and cheaper by default, especially for accounts on the Pro plan, where a lighter guideline is now applied automatically instead of a flat medium default for everyone.
