What defines a workflow in the context of Claude?	A predefined series of calls to Claude.
How does an agent operate when given a task?	It is provided with basic tools and expects Claude to combine them to complete the task.
When should a developer typically use a workflow?	When they have a good idea of the exact series of steps needed to complete a task.
How does breaking a large task into smaller steps benefit a workflow?	It allows Claude to focus on a single, specific area, generally leading to higher accuracy.
Why are workflows easier to test and evaluate compared to agents?	Because the exact series of steps the workflow executes is known beforehand.
What flexibility do agents offer regarding user interaction and task handling?	They can creatively handle a wide variety of challenges and can create their own inputs or ask the user for more input.
What is a major downside to using agents compared to workflows?	They generally have a lower successful task completion rate and are harder to test and evaluate.
What is the general engineering recommendation regarding the use of workflows versus agents?	Always focus on implementing workflows where possible, and only resort to agents when truly required.
