</div>TL;DR: Predefined orchestration paths where code controls the flow. From simple baseline to complex multi-step processes.
What are Workflows?
"Workflows are systems where LLMs and tools are orchestrated through predefined code paths." — Anthropic, Building Effective Agents
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ WORKFLOWS │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ 🏎️ Baseline → Single LLM call, no orchestration │
│ ⛓️ Prompt Chaining → Sequential steps, output → input │
│ 🚦 Routing → Classify then dispatch │
│ 🛤️ Parallelization → Concurrent independent tasks │
│ 🦑 Orchestrator → Delegate to specialized workers │
│ 🩻 Evaluator → Iterative improvement via feedback │
│ │
│ KEY: Code controls the flow (predictable, debuggable) │

Workflow Index
| # | Workflow | Emoji | Description | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Baseline | 🏎️ | Single LLM call, no orchestration | None |
| 1 | Prompt Chaining | ⛓️ | Sequential steps, output→input | Low |
| 2 | Routing | 🚦 | Classify then dispatch | Low |
| 3 | Parallelization | 🛤️ | Concurrent independent tasks | Medium |
| 4 | Orchestrator-Workers | 🦑 | Delegate to specialized subagents | High |
| 5 | Evaluator-Optimizer | 🩻 | Iterative improvement via feedback | Medium |
Quick Decision
Simple Task (1 step) → 🏎️ Baseline
Sequential (2-4 steps) → ⛓️ Prompt Chaining
Categorized inputs → 🚦 Routing
Independent parallel tasks → 🛤️ Parallelization
Complex with specialists → 🦑 Orchestrator-Workers
Quality iteration needed → 🩻 Evaluator-Optimizer
Workflow Variants
| Variant | Parent | Emoji | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wizard Workflow | ⛓️ Prompt Chaining | 🧙 | Human checkpoints via AskUserQuestion |
| Parallel Tool Calling | 🛤️ Parallelization | 🚂 | Multiple tools in single response |
| Master-Clone | 🛤️ Parallelization | 🧬 | Same agent, parallel instances |
