In this video I break down what dynamic workflows really are, how they stack up against everything else on the complexity ladder, why one prompt burned through half my $200 monthly plan, and the simple question I ask before deciding if a job is even worth a workflow. I also cover the hidden stuff like ultracode mode and /deep-research so you don't accidentally torch your session limit.
