What
Claude Code shows short tips when it starts. One of them has been removed. It said "Dynamic workflows let Claude write a script that orchestrates many agents for you" and told users they could type the keyword ultracode or ask Claude to use a workflow. Before, it was shown every third session when a relevance check allowed it. Neither the tip nor its text is in this build, although the word ultracode still appears elsewhere in Claude Code.
Why
Users are no longer prompted at startup to try the ultracode keyword or dynamic workflows, so anyone who learned about them from that tip will not see it again.
The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
Added sinceA small documentation edit on Orchestrate subagents at scale with dynamic workflows touched a line naming ultracode after this was published.When workflows are disabled, the bundled workflow commands and the `/workflow-authoring` skill are unavailable, the `ultracode` keyword no longer triggers a run, and `ultracode` is removed from the `/effort` menu.

Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up ultracode, on Orchestrate subagents at scale with dynamic workflows.With ultracode on, Claude decides when a task warrants a workflow. A single request can turn into several workflows in a row: one to understand the code, one to make the change, and one to verify it. This applies to every task in the sessi…workflowssee the edit
How sure we are

The writer flagged doubtIt is not settled whether typing `ultracode` still triggers anything in this build.
