Repo-scale coding agents, business Cowork, and scripted multi-agent orchestration — with governance Workstation teams can run
Claude is no longer just a chat model. Claude Code runs long-horizon coding agents in the terminal and IDE. Claude Cowork handles decks, docs, and scheduled knowledge work. The Agent SDK adds named subagents and dynamic workflows that fan out dozens of specialised workers. Workstation helps you pick the right surface per team and put approval gates, MCP OAuth, and Ring Promoter promotion in front of production.

Building more effective AI agents — Anthropic
Claude agents are Anthropic’s productised ways to plan, use tools, and finish multi-step work — not one-shot chat replies. Engineering teams live in Claude Code. Ops and knowledge teams use Claude Cowork. Builders embed the Claude Agent SDK with subagents and dynamic workflows. Workstation maps each surface to owners, risk classes, and promotion paths so demos become durable operating models.
Anthropic’s agentic coding product for engineering and platform teams. It understands repositories, edits across files, runs tests, and can work headlessly for CI bots and Dispatch-style automation.
Cowork is Claude for knowledge work: connect data, schedule recurring tasks, and deliver artefacts for human review — without hand-authoring agent files for every job.
Define specialised subagents in code or `.claude/agents/` markdown. Isolate context, restrict tools, and let the main agent delegate — or call them by name.
When a few subagents are not enough, Claude writes a JavaScript orchestration script. The Workflow runtime fans out, stores intermediate results in variables, and returns a verified synthesis — ideal for audits, migrations, and cross-checked research.
Map Claude Code, Cowork, subagents, and workflows to real team jobs
Claude Code plans changes, edits files, runs tests, and opens PRs. Subagents review security and quality in parallel before humans merge.
Dynamic workflows fan out across packages for dependency, config, and security sweeps — then verify claims before the report lands.
Claude Cowork connects sources, builds status decks and spreadsheets, and schedules recurring updates for human review.
Embed the Claude Agent SDK behind MCP, Vault leases, and Workstation gateways so internal tools stay authenticated and auditable.
